I just saw this silly movie, and though the movie wasn't particularly good (I seem to be finding a bunch of stinkers lately), I thought I'd make a quiz for it. Enjoy!

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: the goddess of the sea

Of course! Throughout the movie, the characters make offerings to the goddess of the sea, and this deity seems to hold much control over their lives.

2. What color was Toninho's wedding suit?

Answer: blue shirt, white suit

It was very sexy, but the white suit did go nicely with Isabella's white dress. I think the colorful nature of the garb was part of the production designer's attempts at achieving an 'ethnic' feel.

3. What was NOT one of the three example given of how Isabella controls motion sickness?

Answer: paddling the boat

Basically, it was just a matter of her controlling the movement. This actually makes some sense. Balance, at least, is controlled by a combination of three systems in the body - the inner ear, sight, and the somatosensory organs (joints and brain communicating with each other about the positions of the limbs). If one of these three are disabled, it's hard to balance. If two are disabled, it's even more difficult. I suppose that Isabella's controlling the movements would give her brain a jump on things much in the way the somatosensory organs help out with balance.

At least this makes sense to me...

4. What United States city does Isabella flee to?

Answer: San Francisco

Monica is there. Of course. San Francisco is where all Brazilian drag queens live.

5. What does Isabella pay the cab driver $100 for?

Answer: so Isabella can drive

This character came back in more force later, helping Toninho out.

6. What food does Isabella teach about her first day in the class?

Answer: chili peppers

She goes on about smelling them, then gets so wrapped up in her memories of Toninho that she slices her finger.

7. When Toninho and his friends are bemoaning his idiocy after Isabella finds him cheating and leaves, what does one of the friends say a man who really loves a woman would never do?

Answer: let his woman catch him cheating

Apparently letting the loved woman catch the man in the act is insensitive and not very smart. But there's nothing inherently wrong with cheating. Gosh, I really like this Toninho guy and want Isabella to go back to him...

8. When Monica is getting out of prison, what is the first thing she puts on?

Answer: bracelet

It's returned to her with her belongings and she slips it on her wrist.

9. What is strange about the offering Isabella makes to end her love for Toninho?

Answer: the candle stays lit underwater

Oh, apparently that's just part of the overall mysticism of this movie. Similar to how the painting in Toninho's restaurant changed to reflect things happening elsewhere in the world.

10. What is Cliff doing when he first smells Isabella's cooking?

Answer: running on his treadmill

He'd just been given an ultimatum by his boss when the coffee's aroma wafts through his window. He follows it to the cooking class.

11. Which flowers perk up in the street market as Isabella passes?

Answer: tulips

Can I say cheesy? Then later her sweat makes a flower go into bloom? This didn't even have a point to it!

12. What kind of dish did Isabella make on the day that all those men followed her to class?

Answer: shrimp dish

It looked like some kind of shrimp gumbo. Apparently it was spicy.

13. What color is the rose Cliff buys Isabella on their pseudo date?

Answer: pink

How sweet. Doesn't every restaurant come complete with a wandering rose vendor?

14. What item(s) of Cliff's does Monica throw out the window to help him learn about Brazil?

Answer: his watch

He complains that it was a $1000 watch.

15. When Toninho comes to Monica for advice/help and she explains the ways in which he is 'so 20th century', which of these does she NOT mention?

Answer: chauvinistic

She calls him a 'macho, romantic, primitive heterosexual' and invites him to step into the present.

16. What happens when Isabella and Toninho kiss on the fire escape?

Answer: thunderclap

Again with that mysticism!

17. Who is coupled at the end?

Answer: Isabella and Toninho, Monica and Cliff

Why am I not the least bit satisfied by Isabella going back to that cheating creep?

18. Who played Isabella?

Answer: Penelope Cruz

She was also in 'All About My Mother', 'Blow', and 'Vanilla Sky'.

19. Who played Cliff?

Answer: Mark Feuerstein

He was also in 'Practical Magic', 'The Muse', and 'What Women Want'.

20. Which 'SNL' regular had a role in the movie?

Answer: Ana Gasteyer

She played one of the TV anchors and had a hilarious bit reviewing some book wherein she expressed her frustration with men.
