good novela but long awaited dvd a disappointmentReviewed by audrey, 2010-01-03
I agree with the previous reviewers that this DVD should be
re-done. Though it was a good novela, some cool parts were edited
out of the DVD. I understand that the editors wanted to edit out
filler and redundant scenes, and scenes by secondary
characters--like the parts with Ana Julia--and just focus on
Marichuy and Juan Miguel's story.
But parts where Marichuy wore fabulous outfits were cut out....like
her trip to the Art Gallery with Leopardo, and Marichuy at Rocio's
wedding. Baby Juanito's baptism was cut out too.
Anyway, I'm glad I at least have a copy of this novela, but why
couldn't it have been a COMPLETE BOX-SET(s) like most tv series on
DVD??

I was really impressed by the quality of the videos, but this novela was cut to shreds! All of the best parts, the ones that were the most real, were cut out. These scenes were the whole reason why the novela was so incredibly popular. Shame on whomever is responsible for the editing.
Great Movie But DVD is a DisappointmentReviewed by Cherie, 2009-12-16
I was so excited when this movie finally arrived in my mailbox. I watched it on tv when it aired but since I don't speak spanish I could only guess what the actors were talking about. So when I found out the DVD was coming out with english subtitles I jumped at ordering this item. Though I will forever love this movie because it is so sweet and romantic, the DVD is a disappointment. So many scenes were cut out that you miss the whole plot of the story.
Very romanticReviewed by gecee, 2009-12-15
The movie itself was great but very disappointed on the DVD. They cut off a lot of the parts in the movie out and was not happy about it because it didn't make sense in some parts. They should of made it four disc instead of three and maybe they could of fit the movie in it.
An Important Year for Spanish Language Soap Operas (Telenovelas)Reviewed by silversea86, 2009-12-06
Yeah, there's a few telenovelas out there. But they don't seem to
be very well packaged or distributed. This year, it looks like
that's going to change. I don't know why or how, but Cuidado Con El
Angel has taken off like a rocket. It's talked about in the same
breath as shows like Desperate Houswives or Lost. Think about it.
It's not marketed to the general public. It's a household name in
Hispanic/latin-american communities, but it went rogue and caught
the attention of an audience who had never before paid attention to
those sorts of shows before. Just like back in 1999 when
Latin-American music artists came into vogue, I think 2010 will
bring us another Latin explosion -- this time of soap opera stars.
Something fun to watch out for.

CAVEAT EMPTOR: UTTERLY DISEMBOWELED SERIES
Disemboweled. Dessicated. Dissembled. Deteriorated. Disintegrated.
Disjointed. Disfigured. Discordant.
Joyless. Juiceless. Jejune.
I have been completely cheated by this DVD set. HANG ON TO YOUR VHS
TAPES OR DV-Rs BECAUSE HOURS OF PLOT HAVE BEEN CUT OUT WITH A DULL
BUTTER KNIFE.
An appalling offering.
