The story is a love story, pure one. But what a strength the feelings of two young people have. It is important to mention - he was her first love... If you think about it throughout the movie, you will definitely feel the power of this encounter. It keeps you tight in one scene, it makes you smile and cry in another.

The scenes about death, blackmail, decent life in a decent family and broken life of a broken young mind - don't leave you indifferent. Accident encounters in life are not accidental at all. Everything has its income and impact. Sometimes good to experience. Sometimes preferably to avoid. They didn't.

After watching this film I had strange feelings. On the one hand "Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo" is a beautiful love story with nice moments, beautiful actors and breathtaking scene. But if you think over a plot of this film you understand that the main idea is not to show a beautiful love but to tell us about the world of teenagers who have absolutely different lives.

Babi is a good girl from a respected family. Hache is a bad boy, who loves freedom, burn-up and everything fringe. But just a small meeting changed their lives cardinally. They fell in love, did crazy things, resolved themselves and everything would be fine, but they are so different that despite their feelings, they cannot be together.

At first sight it sounds like a banal film about a tragic love, but it is necessary to watch it to understand that it is not so.

Through the film my mood changed a lot of times. After it my head was full of thoughts. In my opinion, "Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo" is a film that should be watched not only one time.

I loved this movie , it was fun to watch and has great character but the ending destroyed it for me. I mean you can say the ending is a bit more realistic but it was not my cup of tea haha still worth watching !!!

From my point of view this is the perfect movie for those who love romance. it contains a lot of magic moments,some of them being breath- taking. it is the kind of movie you will want to see over and over again. even if the idea may seem simple, the way is is developed makes it a fantastic one. i can also say that actors play really well and the soundtrack is good.

the only thing i can't understand is the law IMDb mark, as i think the movie is much better that other movies,which have better marks anyway it doesn't really matter

One more thing i want to add is that the final moments of the movie are really emotionally . Also there are some good ideas outlined in the movie.

Wow! What a knockout of a movie. If one was to say that this is aimed at the female Twilight audience, one would only be partially correct. There is enough of a hard edge to the story and the characters to appeal to any red-blooded male in the audience. The story of a girl from a rich family who falls in hate/love with a smartass illegal motor cycle racing street hood kicks this up into a testosterone story about a thug trying to come to terms with his uncontrollable angers and find love amidst his own brutality. Taken from an Italian novel by Federico Moccia, this was originally filmed (in Italian) in 2004 then remade in Spanish in 2010. This movie cries out for an American remake!!! One only prays that if that day ever comes that the studio committees won't screw it up as they have done waaaay too often with foreign remakes.

Whatever the budget was for this movie, every penny is up there on the screen. Fantastic direction, fantastic cinematography. Great acting from the young leads. A great soundtrack and constant surprises that increase the romantic aspect under threat of constant danger. If this movie was to be remade scene for scene for the American market it would be a sensation and make major stars of its young leads. Fernando Gonzales Molina, the director of this movie, should have been hired YESTERDAY to shoot an English-language version of this movie. One only hopes that the hero (or anti-hero) would be drawn from the ranks of America's melting pot rather than the androgynous white-bread actors currently in vogue, more suited to supporting roles in fresh-scented tampon commercials.

The story, of a motor cycle street racer from a good family (gone bad in rebellion against the hypocrisy of his family) who invades the remote comfort zone of the rich high school girl who despises everything about him, yet is irresistibly drawn towards him, could be trite -- but never is in this fast-moving tale. The supporting characters in the related subplots provide tragic elements that time and again remind one of Romeo and Juliet in a high-speed modern setting.

The most interesting thing about the lead characters is the way in which they change and mature. This is not a lovey-dovey romance that hits all the predictable points, but rather a tale of two people drawn towards one another in a relationship that cannot hope to succeed. This is one movie that will have every female in the audience blubbering into her handkerchief at the ending. Did I say it was romantic? Did I say that it absolutely kills with its constant juxtaposition of hard-partying action and quiet, romantic moments? The stars of this Spanish version, Mario Casas and Maria Valverde appear destined for long and successful careers based on their performances here.

Have I raved enough about this movie? No, I haven't. If you have one romantic spark in your soul then see this movie. And PRAY that Hollywood doesn't screw it up in a dumb el-cheapo remake!

I couldn't empathise at all with the characters, I was annoyed at them and found them immature. I didn't like the way H treated Baby and I didn't like how she fell for it. Obviously, her behaviour was normal for an inexperienced high school girl but that's all. A lot of drama, no real emotional connection, no moments of real understanding and vulnerability, no rational decisions- a toxic relationship overall. Maybe you need to force yourself to believe those lies in order to feel something enjoyable while you're watching the movie. I felt I wasted my time in the end. I didn't learn anything from the movie and I wasn't able to draw any conclusions. I felt almost no emotion or empathy. At the beginning I felt bad, I thought that maybe it was something wrong with me. But then the movie went on and I realised that I'm not the problem.

One of the best love movies I've had to watch in the last few years. This movie is so light, beautiful, really summery and charming. Yes, charming is the best word you can use. At the end, I cried bitterly, which has not happened to my callous heart for a very long time. I won't argue that there is a certain amount of snotness here. But you know, this is some kind of snot that you expect in films about love. It doesn't make you feel embarrassed that you want to turn away. This is the kind of romance that can happen in the life of each of us.

I wouldn't call this film extraordinary but there's something about it that made me feel good, be nervous, be disappointed, be compassionate while watching it.

One funny thing. I watched Tres Metros.. in Russian and in English. When Hache first met Babi in the traffic jam he called her 'dogface' in English version and 'soldier' in Russian (no idea why! So silly). It made me curious what was really said so I found an original. With my basic Spanish I could figure out that Hache said 'fea' (Spanish speakers, help me out here) which means 'ugly'. So English 'dogface' in slang was closer to this meaning ('very insulting term for an ugly girl/woman', urbandictionary.com). My search went further. There's actually an English slang term 'fea' which means the same as the Spanish one: 'Fea can be used as an endearing expression to refer to a girl. It literally means ugly, but when someone is beautiful and you call them fea, it is culturally acceptable - as a tease'. Still NO IDEA why Russians translated it like 'soldier'. That's why I never watch English movies dubbed into Russian, only in original language. Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish to watch Tres metros.. I wish I could.

Back to the movie. I think that Hache and Babi haven't reached 'true love' stage. Sure, they have changed each other but not to the point where they could make their relationships work. The second movie 'Tengo Ganas de Ti' will explain more and I think both movies should be watched to complete the picture...

A hooligan destroys a car of a girls friend (actually his dads car) while she's in it Car gets wrecked, her friend gets beaten up Girl falls in love with the hooligan??? Her friend finds a guy stealing money from purses Girl falls in love with the thief??? Guy beats up everyone, hits his girl Girl is in love with the hooligan Teenagers see this and love the 2 main characters presented as badasses with suble signs and completely ignore the messeges the movie sends If you want to get the girl, you need to steal money, beat people up, beat up her friend, ruin his dads car, throw her in a pool, occasionally hit her and in no chance she'll be yours!! Worst movie ever

The love story is beautifully portrayed with very real and believable characters. It's definitely worth the watch. Plus, the lead couple are incredibly cute. The main characters are not simply characters who come from a privileged life or a sketchy background. They are more complicated than that which allows viewers to able to relate to them on various levels. There is more to their stories and their true colors are slowly shown throughout the film, just enough to play the emotions of the viewer and to make the viewers empathize with the characters. The film gives you a little bit of everything you look for in a good romance film: laughter, love, life, danger, action, thrill, and a poignant ending. An ending which makes you look back on your own life and wonder if you've found or will ever find the kind of love that too will take you Tres metros s o b r e el c i e l o.

okay!! this movie toke me 4 years to watch, and i can finally say am really glad i did, am not the biggest fan of romance movies " sure i can enjoy a good romance film every once in a while" but it's not my first preference when chosen a movie, earlier i was extremely bored and quite frankly out of movies to watch, so i said to myself why i don't give this movie a try, i am familiar with this movie before but i never gave it a chance, and Spanish didn't make it easy on me! some might say this movie is full of Cliché other might say it's teen movie, i don't like when people give movies very low ratings like one star or two, let's be real for a sec, if you didn't like a movie don't take personally and give it one star!! this movie is quite unique, sure it have it's usual stupid moment, what i did liked about it is the great cinematography and the unusual ending, this is the first Spanish film i have ever watched, i like it when movies make you what to be there in filming locations, after watching this i think i want to travel to Spain, i know this sounds silly, maybe i am silly, maybe silliness all what i need! if you haven't watched this yet, go ahead and give it a chance, i promise you won't regret it!

this review will not help anyone, just wanted to share my thoughts!

my rating is 7.5/10

I love this romance movie, it has all the elements I like in a romance movie: great looking man, great chemistry between H and Babi, motorcycles, great love scenes.

The story of the first love, with a storm of feelings, passion and suffering. The film is about how a brutal, impudent and impulsive macho bully and a modest quiet good girl came together.

We met in traffic, he sweetly called her "ugly." And then in the club, this 'Ugly' and 'Brute' sounded very nice. He threw her into the pool, beat the faces of everyone around him, broke the locks from the "palace" for her, and she ran away from lessons to the races and the beach, waited every evening to go on a new journey. She was threatened by her parents and teachers, but she jumped on his motorcycle and raced forward! It's just like in a fairy tale. One difference, a fairy tale usually ends with the words: 'And they lived happily ever after ...'. Everything turned out to be completely different here.

That, perhaps, is the secret of the success of a good romantic drama - they love each other, but, unfortunately, they are no longer in a place.

You don't just watch this movie, but you live and experience it together with the actors. You transfer it all to your life. It's like you've become happier three meters above the sky. But, eventually, you will return from heaven to earth again. Love, it's only in a fairy tale.

It's one of the best romantic movies EVER. I totally loved it, the way he treats her, the way they look at each other. AMAZING

A classical teenage story. Many times this can be seen in real life. Precisely because of this fact, the film has received some golden meanings, although in the acting, scenic sense, there is a lot of things missing. Actors, I would say nothing more than an average.

However, the message that the film sends is extremely powerful. Anyone from the younger population should look at this film because it can learn a lot from it. In fact, both boys and girls could see how to avoid problems in life.

My god it's bad, if you are over 15 years, your brain does not support all these clichés, these actors, a realization also mediocre. It's worthy of a TV film with rose water that would make Twilight a cinematic masterpiece. The end is a little more drinkable than the rest. For me, she was totally insensitive to my level of involvement with the movie was close to 0.

Agreed, this is a film that can withstand repeat viewings. The love story is epic , Barcelona looks beautiful and there is a great soundtrack, but take it from me, someone 50+, this is really a movie about family dynamics. It's also very well scripted. I translate Spanish professionally; the original dialog is solid.

Notice that Hugo isn't really "from the wrong side of the tracks." His family doesn't seem to be as affluent as Babi's, but he certainly was raised in an educated, upper-middle-class environment. His circumstances, especially respecting his mother, pushed him over the edge. Of course, he was unable to get a grip on his emotions, at least till the end of the story. And his finally being able to do so marked his first steps into adulthood.

Observation: I hope Coca-Cola did its part to defray the film's budget. I can't recall ever seeing such blatant product placement in a non-US production.

What I don't understand is at what point do they start to love each other? This is not real love that makes you feel warm inside. This is a piece of s***. They are both drop dead gorgeous, they look at each other and Babi forgets whatever bullshit he did to her just because he's drop dead gorgeous and they fall in love only because they are beautiful. Honestly I was watching this and I thought, they must have skipped some months because these guys have nothing in common, nothing to bond over. We didn't see any meaningful dialogue between them. At WHAT POINT, and WHY are they deeply in love? This movie is immature love at the most. I'm 16 but I just think at 18-21 people are more mature and should have deeper relationships? Maybe i would have liked this movie when i was 10. It's like a very young teens/child fantasy because it has no basis on reality or true love (sorry I keep mentioning this).

Watch this movie if you want to kill brain cells.

I liked the music at the start star for that. And it was entertaining, I didn't get bored (maybe at the end).
