“Bella” is a film which picks up steam as it goes. It opens at a slow pace but once the story begins to move, it is a quality story worth telling. An international soccer star named Jose (Eduardo Verastegui) is about to sign a multi-million dollar contract when tragedy strikes. He suffers grief for a long time but his life eventually becomes entwined with that of a young waitress named Nina, who is dealing with her own problems. She is unmarried, pregnant, and contemplating having an abortion. Jose plants the thought into Nina’s mind of adopting the child out to a good home and the subsequent story surrounds that theme, as well as Jose helping his brother. His brother Manny is a manager of a successful Mexican restaurant, but he only thinks of himself and not his employees. You will have to wait until the end of the film to learn who “Bella” is, but this name plays a pivotal part in this story. This film is a quality picture with some beautiful cinematography and a good theme, and we award the movie our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal.
