Bella
Evan Almighty Sweetly sentimental story about an unmarried New York waitress (Tammy Blanchard) who loses her job after becoming pregnant, and her restaurant's empathetic chef (Eduardo Verastegui) - an ex-soccer star whose career ended after his car fatally struck a child - who gives the young woman emotional support, takes her to visit his loving family, and gently tries to persuade her to keep the baby. Director and co-writer Alejandro Monteverde's impressive feature film debut is sometimes dramatically slack and implausible, but the sensitive performances, positive depiction of the chef's warm Latino family, and most of all, its affirmative pro-life message - along with themes of self-forgiveness, reconciliation and redemption - should resonate with Catholic viewers. Partially subtitled. A couple of crass words, a child's death, a drug reference, and the out-of-wedlock theme aside, film is admirably free of objectionable elements. A-II -- adults and adolescents. (PG-13) 2007 Watch the trailer!
