Plot: At 30-years-old, Maca is wasting her talent, but two of her friends, Jimena and Adriana, make everything possible in Madrid. Everything seems to be going well, until Leo, her biggest love and her biggest mistake, comes back into her life.


My Movie Review: The movie is such raunchy and sweet but does not meet any expectations put forward by the viewers and critics most especially who expect a well-written doesn't deliver! Sounds Like Love is very charming in the teaser trailer I don't know what happened to the actual movie figuratively and literally very forgettable there's no remarkable scene to remember so let me refresh your memory on what really went down and why the execution fail to impress! The story focus on Maca, a clumsy 30 year-old who lives in Madrid, is stuck as an assistant for an oppressive and terrifying fashion influencer, wasting her talent and spending most of her time with men with whom she never manages to establish an emotional bond. Together with her two unique and loveable friends, Jimena and Adriana, Maca endeavours to make the most of life and happiness, despite her dead-end job, making almost everything possible. All seems to be going well until Maca's ex Leo returns to her life, flipping her almost perfect life upside down. Leo was the biggest mistake of Maca's life, the man who tore her heart apart obliterated her self-esteem and her faith in men. Maca had forgotten all about him, but now she has to accept that he has suddenly come back into her life and she must face those emotions that she has repressed for so long, dealing with the ex who choose career over love is recipe for disaster that's why this doesn't work despite the efforts still can't leave his job they should tried!

Critic Reviews: Skillful filmmaking and good intentions can't overcome botch story that simply crashes! Sounds Like Love is not getting love it exude it's sounds like the critics isn't loving it! This Spanish film has the look and feel of yet another Sex and the City knock-off, but with less of the exuberance or charm. While the cast does their best, Sounds Like Love suffers from an aimless script, lackluster central romance, and overlong runtime. After a point, undermining conventions become tiresome and overall flow of the film feels like it is looking for a redemptive arc that never comes. Elisabet Casanovas is a zany delight as Maca’s offbeat best friend Jimena. Whether she’s stripping down to try to seduce her chiropractor or shoving churros in her best friend’s face after a tough night, she brings a special little sparkle to every scene, perfectly filling the kooky BFF role and tossing in some extra emotional nuance to boot. Sounds Like Love is a great example of a well-intentioned, poorly executed adaptation. Based on the best-selling Spanish book series Canciones y Recuerdos by ElĂ­sabet Benavent, the film had plenty of story to tell. The problem with trying to cram all that story into one film, however, is that it winds up feeling simultaneously rushed and overlong, an unfocused attempt at juggling three stories that the film doesn’t quite know how to prioritize or doesn't have clear act!
