Up for love is a movie about Alexandre, a little man that with his charming and gallant attitude tries to win the heart of equally charming and pretty Diana. I felt identified with Alexandre, since in the past I had a girlfriend that was taller than me xD

The movie focus a little in the socially acceptable side of the relationship without becoming too serious. It also has a few funny moments here and there. I think the best of the film is the performance of both actors, but I specially like Virginie's Efira portrayal of Diana.

Finally, it has been a long time since I don't see a delightful movie like this, and Up for Love becomes like an oasis in the middle of Hollywood blockbuster movies that I usually end up watching. I enjoyed it a lot.

I expect this movie very closely since I saw the trailer, and just like I thought from a movie directed by Tim Burton, resembles a lot from his previous films, say for example the dark mood, colors but a really nice history and characters that make you come back for a second or more viewings.

What can i say from the movie, mmm, you have to see it, just kidding. The history is about love from finding the right one, and luckily for Victor (the main character, a little shy and insecure) he don't make any efforts because his coming marriage was arranged, and although his doubts about this kind of things can work, his fiancée (Victoria) is really nice. But by the other side and after a little bit of problems that occurred during the marriage attempt, Victor finds himself married by mistake with the corpse bride (that although dead, is really pretty and kind).

At the end, you don't know if Victoria or the corpse bride should marry with Victor (personally I prefer the corpse bride, but Victoria comes first, so...), but whatever is a nice ending...a great movie for enjoy, with a weird but simple great history, great voice acting and more.

I saw this movie just the year it released, because my dad rented the movie, i don't believe him when he told us that is a nice movie, because his tastes are some bit of different than mine, but that time i really share his opinion...2 years later a little bit ago that i write this, i have the chance to see the movie again, and what i can tell you, again i get really touched how the movie takes the 2 main characters (Charlotte and Bob) in a some strange way connection in the middle of the loneliness of them (Charlotte and Bob). Charlotte by her side is a newly married with a guy (photographer) that is always going out taking photos to places; Bob in the other side is married have children and it's passing by a crisis of the middle age.

What I like this movie is how the characters get meet and going out just like a mature way, knowing maybe each other, that the difference of age, mature, marriage, etc. makes that relationship "just like friends", and that get evidentiated in a beautiful scene when Bob and Charlotte get in the bed the two of them with clothes, and Charlotte put the tips of her feet touching the leg of Bob, and him touches gently her feet.

But the loneliness of both makes them get closer, not physically but yes emotionally as the movies goes on. At the end of the movie (a really good moment of the movie), both say bye (or maybe a until soon...) and a song plays while Bob gets to the taxi that takes him to the airport.

Finally this movie has a magic, touching and content that few movies have. Really recommended!!
