very similar to...

Warning: Spoilers
I just saw "no sos vos, soy yo" ("It isn't you, it's me") and the similarities to the American film "Along Came Polly" are truly suspicious. It isn't that the movie is bad, actually it is very funny, but simply we've all just seen it before. Javier is a surgeon who gets married to Maria. After a week she runs away with another men and Javier (some sort of mega-loser character) gets desperate. That alone is kind of a copy of the "Along Came Polly" plot. Despite some obvious differences we definitely recognize the Polly Prince character (Jennifer Aniston) in Julia (Cecilia Dopazo). Not only her corkiness, but also her messy house. They even go for ethnic food on their first date (and this doesn't have any further consequences in the movie, so it really seems to be a wink for those who have seen "Along Came Polly" first). Maria (Lisa, in the original version) wants to get back together with Javier at the end of the movie, and so it happens in "Along Came Polly". In conclusion: I've seen the same movie twice. There was nothing wrong with the first version, no need for a second one.
