My Fault (Culpa Mia)
Its “Fast & Furious” meets “Fight Club” meets “Sleeping with the Enemy” with a Bella/Edward/Twilight vibe in this English-dubbed Spanish young adult romance film. Noah is a cute, rebellious 17-year-old girl (yeah, she’s got a boy’s name) who’s upset that she is moving away from her boyfriend, best friend, school, & hometown because her mom & her are moving into her mom’s new rich husband’s mansion & enjoying his elite lifestyle. Next, she meets her new step-brother, Nick. He pretends to be the model perfect son but he is an arrogant spoiled rich kid but so smoldering hot. Noah & Nick don’t hit it off, so you know from the get go where this storyline is going. With the wild parties, good looking people, rich lifestyle, fast cars, & steaming love/hate romancing, you know filmmakers are targeting young adults & those incurable romantics. Oh, and throw in some bad boy gang members & an abusive spouse to stir up the drama. Violence & abuse is in the subtext here. With the right mindset, this film is an entertaining guilty pleasure.
Alien gives it 3 “Freckles” stars out of 4.
