Sadly Over-hyped

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I'll admit this wasn't exactly one of my favorites but I was soon hooked. Nora's a tough character when she shapes up and though I see a lot of people feel for Casilda - let me be obnoxiously honest, her ugliness wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't hate on Nora so much for the dumbest of reasons. In fact besides the main heroine and hero it's Paulina I felt sorry for, she wasn't even a villain - just a simple girl who made one dumb mistake in her life. And well, I didn't find anything funny about that moron Isaura who did a lot of bad stuff and that darn whistling was SO annoying! And I do wish her death was better and that it didn't have to end with a sunset - romantic as it was.

Amarte es mi Pecao is one of the best sop operas ever. Yadhira Carrilo and Sergio Sendel are very great actors. Carrilo is very strong, and her emotional scenes are very well acted. The main villain, Sylvia Pasquel, is one of the most unique actresses in Mexico. She is very comedic, but she is so evil, you just love watching her. Tiare Scanda is a very good actress I had never hear of before, as is Alessandra Rosaldo, and by the final, you really care about all the characters. The finale was also very good, and a great end to Pasquel's character. This is one of my favorite soap operas, I cannot think of any I like more, well, perhaps only La Madrastra.

Yadhira Carillo convinced us that she could be the leading lady in another critically acclaimed soap opera, La Otra(The Other Woman) where she played two identical women with mirroring principles and values. In Amarte es mi Pecado, she plays Nora Madrigal de Orta who vowed to her father that she will marry someone rich so that she can be happy for the rest of her life. Nora is keen on doing this until she meets Arturo whom she falls totally in love with. They share a beautiful relationship in spite of the efforts made by her ambitious and greedy Aunt Alejandra and her stepmother Isaura to keep her from reaching eternal happiness. In a trip to Miami, Arturo cheats on Nora with a young woman named Paulina who falls madly in love with Nora's fiancé. When Arturo returns to Michoacan, he tells Nora what happened hoping that his honesty will make Nora think twice before putting off their wedding....but that doesn't happen. Nora is enraged and heartbroken when hearing about Arturo's affair and she decides to keep her pregnancy a secret. Isaura kills off Alejandra with the aide of her ugly and envious daughter Casilda(Who is the best character in the show). In an attempt to make Nora suffer even more and in order to make some money Isaura trades Casilda's and Nora's babies when they give birth. Nora believes that Casilda's dead baby is her own and tragedy once more strikes. After this, Nora can take no more and she decided to follow her dreams and become a successful and powerful model. With her power, overpowering beauty, and her money she vows to avenge the death of her daughter and vows to avenge every single tragedy and heartbreak that people put her trough. Nora becomes the one person who no one wants to mess with because tragedy and heartbreak have turned her into a self-sufficient woman who will stop at nothing to make the people who hurt her, pay for their evil deeds.With an excellent adaptation by Liliana Abud, produced by the one and only Ernesto Alonso, directed by Benjamin Cann, and starring Yadhira Carillo, Sergio Sendel, Alessandra Rosaldo, Margarita Isabel, Sylvia PAsquel, Alexis Ayala, and Tiare Scanda as Casilda. A very good telenovela, it should be out on DVD soon in the United States.

"Amarte es mi Pecado" (Loving you is my Sin) is a truly unique story. It is comparable to "La Otra," also produced by Ernesto Alonso, also directed by Benjamin Cann, also written by Liliana Abud, and also starring Yadhira Carrillo. AEMP has some of the most memorable characters ever. Who can forget about Isaura (Silvia Pasquel),the cruel woman that goes out of her way to get money through her step daughter's, Nora (Yadhira Carrillo), suffering and beauty? She is one of the few funny villains in novelas, characterized by the lipstick on her teeth and her whistling. Who can forget Casilda (Tiare Scanda), the physically and spiritually unappealing woman that envies the attention Nora gets from the handsome Leonardo (Alexis Ayala). Another memorable character was Alejandra, Nora's aunt, who strictly follows the laws of upper class society and makes her niece follow them herself by urging her and teaching her to marry a wealthy man. But at the center of the show is the beautiful love story between Arturo (Sergio Sendel) and Nora and how each of them make mistakes that distance themselves from each other. The first episode itself demands your attention due to the fact it is nonlinear and the movement of the camera as it begins with Nora explaining to a police officer why she shot the despicable Heriberto (Antonio Medellin) after he attempts to rape her. She begins by confessing that before her father died, he had made her promise him to marry a wealthy man. It is for this reason she thinks that loving Arturo, a poor airplane pilot, is a sin.
