I usually wait and rent or purchase movies rather than going to first run movies at a movie theater. But after hearing some very positive reviews of the Bella movie, I purposely wanted to support this movie by buying a ticket. After seeing the movie on my birthday last Saturday, it was even better than I had expected. The accolades where not overstated.

A real Bell-a ring-a of a movie! --- gregjaye
MovieGuide.org comments, “Bella opens up with the wonderful narration, "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans."
This is a touching human drama, the story of a former star soccer player, Jose, who finds himself working at his brother’s restaurant as the chief chef and a restaurant waitress, Nina, who just discovers that the reason she is sick is that she is pregnant. Jose has a Puerto Rican father and a Mexican mother. In this upside-down world Jose’s parents and family are surprisingly Jose’s family is normal. The movie is set in New York City.
Nina gets fired from the restaurant for missing too much work. Jose empathizes and befriends her. In fact, he leaves work and the two of them spend the day together. Much of the movie follows these to people during this one day in their lives. The two bare their souls to each other.
Bella really explores in depth the emotions of these two person who are very different, yet drawn together through difficult past experiences. It is a wonderfully sad movie.
It is a must-see five star out of five-star movie. Visit it in the movie theater. Our culture desperately needs more movies like Bella. Quality flicks with a solid moral message are unfortunately too rare. The acting was exceptional. It was fast-paced after a little slow start. It is a masterpiece, a superbly painted picture portrait of two intersecting interesting and intriguing lives. Unlike nearly all movies today it has an underlying positive moral message.
