Movie Review: Pulling Strings (Spanish/English)

Pulling Strings is a delightful, heart warming movie about a single father's attempt to woo a pretty gringo girl working at the American Embassy in Mexico City, so that he can get a visa for himself and his young daughter, who he wishes to leave with her grandparents in the US.

After being refused a visa, luck turns in his favour when he finds her drunk at a bus stop after after a long party, and takes her home. He hides her laptop and then spends the day with her, helping her "find" it, while making sure there are enough signals being generated about his popularity as a singer, income and stability - essential for her to get convinced that he deserves a visa.

Will it finally get him a visa? Or does life have something else in store?

A light, breezy movie, with delightful Spanish songs - if you love Bollywood, you will love this one!

Oh, and yes, the pretty Laura Ramsey makes it all so much more worthwhile!
