Movie Reviews of Apuesta por un Amor
Movie Review: A Great Novela A Great Story
Summary: 5 Stars
When most people think about novelas or soap operas many people roll their eyes and believe it is the same melodramatic situations that repeat in each story over and over again. Well... they're right! Novelas are melodramatic, they are unbelievable and if you are a hopeless romantic like myself then you will always want to watch a novela at least once in a while because it is highly entertaining now back to the novela Apuesta Por Un Amor. I happened to watch this novela while it was being shown on Unvision last year and it had me hooked the moment I heard Luis Miguels song "Que Seas Feliz", as the novelas intro. This is the story about a young proud and strong willed woman by the name of Julia Montano known in town as "la Potra" (which in spanish means black stallion), daughter of a rich ranch holder in the state of Yucatan she challenges the mexican macho philosophy that both her brother and father have that a womans place should be in the house. Training horses, and managing her fathers estate she proves to her father than she is more than just the housekeeper thereby earning the respect of her father. However life takes an unexpected turn when she catches her fiance cheating on her with her best friend, her brother mistreating the womenfolk in town, and most importantly the arrival of an evil stepmother who only wants the wealth of her fathers estate. With her life in chaos Julia is distrustful and cautious with men until a lone stranger comes in town by the name of Gabriel. A drifter and gambler Gabriel falls heads over heels over Julia. (of course he firsts sees her when she is skinny dipping in the river) and promises "la Potra" that by the end of the year whether she likes it or not she will be with him by his side, as his wife, and most importantly in his bed. And thus begins the romance, the suspense, and the drama that is unfolded in Apuesta Por Un Amor (which in english means Betting on Love) where love, loyalty, and courage trample over evil, envy, and infidelity.
Summary of Apuesta por un Amor
Julia Montaño is a proud, strong-willed young woman, nicknamed "La Potrita" by the people of San Gaspar for her savage beauty and indomitable spirit. She is also the eldest daughter of the small town?s founder Don Julio, a wealthy and powerful landowner. Julia has taken the reigns of the family hacienda, as her indolent brother Álvaro is a lazy drunk who feels himself above the law. Soledad, the timid youngest child, is virtually ignored by Don Julio and seeks shelter in her own fantasies. When professional gambler Gabriel Duran arrives in town, a story of passion, hate and greed unfolds as he strives to become the most powerful man in the region?and to win the love of Julia.Similar DVD Movies
