My fault is the newest Spanish teen-drama romance that feels like a mixture of Through my Window, Three Steps Above Heaven and Fast and Furious.
Noah is upset with her mother as she has to leave her boyfriend and friends and move in with her mother's new rich husband and his son Nick. Nick is a typical bad boy turns good boy, and their romance is a typical forbidden step-sibling relationship surrounded by gangsters, wannabes and rich kid problems.
The storyline is far from realistic, the dialogue is quite dull, but there is chemistry between the actors and it is entertaining enough. At least it was for me, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Watching this movie felt like I had just randomly grabbed a new release from the romance section and started reading. The opening scenes set up nothing but cliched tropes with what seemed to be stock characters and overdone situations. Except that this story ended up being really entertaining anyway. Noah and Nick act like characters that are written instead of real teens, until they suddenly don't. I actually kind of believed that they had reasons they would end up liking each other. Instead of groaning about how they were just thrown together for the sake of the plot, I ended up caring about their relationship working out. I didn't want anything bad to happen to them, and I wasn't counting the minutes until they were off the screen. Now, the third act climax deflated much of that feeling when we get a standard action movie finale, but once it all wraps up, I was back to wanting to see the couple succeed. I don't think I would even mind a sequel, which they seemed to be planning based on the last lines of the film. I am sure that there will be a lot of people who will watch this movie who won't get caught up in the story like I allowed myself to--some viewers will just focus on the flaws, which would be easy to do. But for anyone just looking for lighter-than-air entertainment, you might have the right mindset for this one.

My Fault, the latest romantic comedy flick, offers a familiar and straightforward storyline accompanied by over-the-top action sequences. While the movie falls victim to a slow pace and lacks a unique twist, it still manages to provide decent entertainment for those seeking a lighthearted romantic comedy or simply looking for a fun way to pass the time.
One notable aspect that sets My Fault apart from traditional rom-coms is its inclusion of over-the-top action sequences. These unexpected bursts of excitement inject an element of thrill into an otherwise straightforward storyline.
However, one area where My Fault falls short is in its pacing. The movie struggles to maintain a consistent rhythm, occasionally feeling sluggish and dragging out certain scenes unnecessarily. The slow pacing dampen the overall enjoyment, leaving me wishing for a tighter and more dynamic progression of events.
In terms of production value, My Fault excels. The cinematography captures vibrant and visually appealing settings, enhancing the film's romantic atmosphere. The well-executed soundtrack complements the narrative, heightening emotional moments and adding to the overall appeal of the movie.
Ultimately, My Fault is a decent film that provides an entertaining escape for rom-com enthusiasts or those looking for a light-hearted and enjoyable viewing experience. While the basic storyline and occasionally slow pacing may deter some people like me, the inclusion of over-the-top action and the overall charm of the film make it a suitable choice for a time-pass movie night.

If you judge the film with the criteria for piece of life dramas, it is definitely lacking. Because it is made of fairy-tales stuff. It is Cinderella, moving from shambles to a palace, where she meets a benevolent king and a Prince Charming. It is about a girl, beating hard-core men at their own game - drift driving. It is about the bad boy with a golden heart. About Red Riding Hood, saved by Prince Charming and the Hunter from the Big Bad Wolf. And most of all, about romantic love. The film is made fairly competently, it is dynamic and there wasn't a dull moment. The lead actors wouldn't be remembered for subtlety and nuance, but they are definitely good-looking and have a palpable chemistry. Don't judge and expect too much and you can actually enjoy it.

As with a lot of romanced based on book adaptations at times the dialogue was cringy and some scenes were entirely unrealistic or moved a bit fast but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! The two leads have great chemistry together and definitely kept my attention! If you're a fan of After this would be right up your alley. I think the story is a bit tidier than the After franchise is as well... not as much unnecessary back and forth fighting. I was more invested than I was in the After movies as well. I feel if you like this genre it's definitely worth a watch and doesn't deserve the negative reviews it's received.

It really isn't that bad, especially if you're trying to relax after a long day. Just by reading the decription you get a hint what kind of movie it is.
I didn't expect some extraordinary plot, dialogue or characters. I knew it would be cheesy and cirnge and that is exactly what I needed in that moment.
It's not a masterpiece and I'm glad it isn't. This movie is my 'culpa mia' :D just like watching After.
I mean, this movie screams 'red flag' but it is just too unrealistic and I can't even identify myself with it, so I just watch it and daydream.
Put all expectations aside and enjoy in this teen love drama.

I watched this because it came up on my Amazon prime as a movie I would like. I thought it was a horror movie and I was watching it in the background as I was messing with my phone. It was not a horror movie, but much to my horror It was a weird teenage erotic thriller. I have to laugh when I write that. This movie had like 15 plots. It was all over the place. It wanted to be fight club and it wanted to be the fast and the furious and then it wanted to be some like family drama. The girl looks like kristen stewart. I feel like I will go to jail for watching this. My favorite quote was "you are my stepsister and you're 17" 😂

Just wow, the romance, scenes and pace of movie is incredible, I watched it two times in two days and will definitely going to watch again and again. The leads are so awesome and perfectly casted. Every character and their back stories are so well connected to their personalities and that creates the whole beautiful romantic drama. Must watch.
The main hero is so handsome and his dad too. The lead heroine and her mom is too pretty. Even parents romance and connection is so beautiful, you feel like this whole thing is going around you and you slowly starting to love all characters. They all are well casted. Thanks for beautiful movie and desparately waiting for next part.

I really don't get the love this movie is receiving from so many viewers. It's so terribly dull. There might be something interesting in the chemistry between the main couple and some scenes are hotter than those we see in a usual movie of the week. But everything else just doesn' work and the movie doesn't trust its main plot, adding up some seriously uninteresting and unconvincing stuff. The constant intervention of the annoying score. The attempt to emulate "Fast and Furious"-like action. The absolute cheesiness of the mystery... Anyway, each own with their likes and dislikes, but I really felt deceived by some of the reviews. I think we might have seen different movies.

No pun intended - I guess with more families being ... or rather coming together (not in that sense, get your mind out of the gutter ... well mostly not like that), it was only a matter of time that movies would pick up on something like that. And apart from the legal point being "clear" ... there still is the fact that it feels wrong.
And the movie plays on that notion ... and teases us ... multiple times! It almost happens ... and then almost happens again ... and again. There is a saying, whatever loves each other has also to nag each other. It's a German saying - not sure if it exists in Spanish or English (or any other language for that matter). I only know that the big bad (strong) guy needs to be tamed by our sensitive girl ... both beautiful of course ... we couldn't have it any other way. Be aware what you let yourself into ... and act accordingly ... of course this is predictable ... still the ending was ... quite interesting to say the least.

My friend recommended this movie and hyped it up like it is the next coming of god but it is bang average just cliche romance where the girls first hates the main lead but slowly and surely falls in love what is new in this just because the actors look good? The best part about the movie was the villain at the last but he was given such a short screen time the movie was bang average yes the songs were good apart from that nothing much is interesting in the movie you can watch it it will not bore you but.....
FAVOURITE CHARACTER :: dad (heavily under-utilised) FAVOURITE MOMENT :: last chase sequence.

The whole movie is chaos. Everything is happening super fast: here they are kissing, here they are already driving, here everyone is already fighting.
This movie has all the clichés and a lot of awkward, cringe moments. Everything has been seen, nothing new has been shown.
By the way, the dog in the movie looked so unrealistic...
Dialogues are incomplete and empty, and nothing important is said through them. It looked like a mash-up of five romantic movie plots.
Probably the worst movie of this year. Maybe if I were a twelve-year-old teenager, I would like it. No offense. I do not recommend it, meh.

This is the 3rd teen drama movie that I watch in a row, and once again I've been disappointed.
I can't keep watching these movies and keep being disappointed. Why am I doing this ? This movie is NOT good - I mean they could not even stick to one storyline and understandable plot ... Which one is it ? Their incestious relationship ? His trauma ? Her trauma ? The little sister ? The racing mafia thing ? The other girls ? What the f is happening ?
The combo bad boy/ I'm not like other girls pick me is very old and adding that they are living in the same house and that THEIR PARENTS ARE TOGETHER, what is the end goal for this movie ?

Culpa Mía, reminded me a bit of Through My Window (A través de mi ventana)...but with street racing, illegal fights, and a violent backstory...and I loved it! It's based on a Wattpad novel by Mercedes Ron, which after two back to back watching a of the film I went to order from Amazon (can't wait to read the book(s)).
The film has both a sexy hate to love story and action in the form of both street racing and underground fighting. It is fast-paced and beautiful filmed...leaving no trace me for boredom.
The story is about 17 year old Noah, who is brought by her newly wed mother Rafaella to live in her new stepfather's mega-mansion on the coast. There she must live with an older stepbrother named Nick. Nick's father William thinks he is this perfect golden boy, but Noah discovers that the true reality is that he is a smoking, partying, street racing, underground fighting bad boy, whose life gets Noah in trouble.
What Nick doesn't know is that his angsty beautiful new stepsister has a troubled past and a few secrets of her own.
These two clash in an epic passionate way and it was an enjoyable ride to watch. I highly recommend this to fans of romance, particularly dark romance...and I think action fans might enjoy this film as well. In fact it might just be the perfect date night film as it has a little something for everyone!
Beautiful sets, great costumes and a marvelous soundtrack too!

Sure, I watched the whole thing out and I was even reasonably entertained - how could I not, it's the quintessential romcom where two attractive leads fall head over heals in love, and after some hardship find eternal bliss - the end.
But it's also extremely cliché: arrogant girl and obnoxious bad boy are thrown together, only to find that they both actually have hearts of gold and a woeful, all-explaining past. And the whole thing is obviously meant for a public of teens and young adults that revel in driving Porches, wild pool-parties, boozing, and (in this case) illegal streetcar racing and (even more farfetched) fighting clubs. The latter two were probably added by the makers to also please the boyfriends of the girls that are supposed to swoon over the lovestory and the romantic making-out scenes.
The traumatized background of Noah may be interesting in itself, but when her father appears in the last part of the movie as a vengeful murderous ex-convict intent to kill his daughter and ex-wife, it all goes totally over the top. The only thing that makes the end remotely rewarding is the car-racing along the boulevards and marina-boardwalks of this Spanish tourist city.
Being a boring adult I'm definitely not the one that this movie is aimed at, so why did I even bother? Well, sometimes it's nice to go with the easy flow, however cliché it might be. I'm only human.

While this movie was very interesting to watch mainly due to the chemistry of the two leads, it kind of felt like a big fuss over nothing. Like two seventeen year olds met after their parents married and suddenly any relationship beyond being a happy family is off limits. Made even weirder by the fact this movie takes place in a country where even sexual incest over the age of sixteen isn't illegal! The car stunts were pretty cool especially the climactic one near the end and the scenery in some parts was absolutely stunning. I'd be interested in watching the forthcoming sequels just to see what the big fuss is about. At this point i'm expecting it to be revealed in the next movie that they are actually related just to make the parents behaviour make more sense.
