how Spanish their surnames sounded, IT cause me headache, they sound like Mexican o rSpanish I mean here (iLive in Buenos Aires) and like 45% of the names here are Italians, 40% Spanish (but most of them Galicias and Basques), and 15% are German, Jew, Polish, French and others.

I'm not used to So many surnames and names all very spanish,

Did any Argentinian feel the same?????

You say 40% of people's surnames in Argentina are Spanish, yet you are surprised that the characters in the movie had "Spanish sounding" surnames? I don't get it...

There are tons of people here with Spanish surnames.

Shes surprised at how many surnames were Spanish, as in no other type of surnames just Spanish ones as opposed to the others she mentions. Atleast I think thats what she meant.

You are absolutely right, not because everyone in Argentina speak Spanish means that everyone's surnames are suppose to be Spanish surnames. I think that that was a big goof.
