The movie tells the funny story of a Gigolo who falls in love for the sister of his future wife. As he is Machiavellian (and a bit coward, too), he doesn't tell the truth and imagines a fake brother. I let you imagine all the quirky situations.
The cast answers the expectations, because each actor seems the right one for the part and their performance are great: Banderas as a seductive, Hannah as a poetic lover, But, the narration is laborious. I waited 30 minutes to feel the movie really paced, and the ending is very much thrown away. The subplots (his father, the crooks) are uninteresting because not really funny so they tend to break the rhythm.
I imagine it is due to a "bad" adaptation. Indeed, the original story is a book and the literary language is very different from the movie language.
In conclusion, an enjoyable movie that you will won't watch again for a time, except on a DVD to skip on particular chapter.
