Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
I caught this movie by accident and I ended up liking it... that happens a lot to me.But to be honest, what "hooked" me in was the extreme beauty of Paz Vega and her female co-stars. Then, after staring -drooling- to the sexy Spanish women, I was enjoying the plot and how funny it is aided by dialogs and musical numbers.To be honest, the "principal" musical theme got on my nerves when it appeared the 2nd. time. Then, I got it was an important part of the plot and thus I ended up liking it.The whole infidelity situation is not a funny topic by any means but the way is carried it's what really makes the movie really good.I would recommend "El Otro Lado de la Cama" for young couples who enjoy light romance situations with a bit of music, and clever dialogs. There's plenty to dig from the art direction and most of the dialogs are pure gold, even better than most of American sitcoms.The movie is a demonstration of how Spain manufactures quality romantic comedies.Paz Vega's looks are breath taking I must add.
This movie is aimed squarely at a female audience. The male characters are thinly drawn cartoons, and there's not much here for guys to enjoy besides some fairly limited female nudity. Movie musicals are difficult to execute properly. When this film broke into song, I just found it clumsy and I almost herniated myself attempting to suspend my disbelief.The achingly gorgeous Paz Vega _almost_ salvages the movie on her own ... she is definitely headed for mainstream worldwide stardom. I plan to see her in Spanglish - she has already had several nightly starring roles behind my eyelids. The only thing that may hold her back is her too-strong facial resemblance to a young Winona Ryder. Perhaps if Ms. Ryder's film career stays off the tracks, that will make room for Ms. Vega's ascent.
I was frankly getting a little bored even of World Cinema until I happened upon this little gem. It's everything Dennis Potter's (r.i.p) Singing Detective could/should have been but wasn't.As you'll appreciate from that summary, it has acting and singing - but don't let that put you off - PLEASE don't let that put you off. I hate musicals myself but this is FANTASTIC. Witty, wry, sexy - the lot.If you don't learn anything from this movie, can I stay at your house?It is a wonderful film. Watch it. Buy it. Steal it if you have to.
An engaging song and dance musical about two couples who get off with each other's partners. All very light hearted feelgood adult stuff in the style of many a light Shakespeare or Mozart comedy, but updated to include lots of nitty-gritty. The cast are drop dead gorgeous, they have mottos like "there's not enough f*cking in the world" and are ultimately tolerant enough about each other's misdemeanours and tendency to be economical with the truth. All politically correct, with lots of mixed sexual orientation to keep it bubbling, a private detective who gets it all on video (after solving the mystery of how JFK committed suicide and how Marylin Monroe never really died), unexpected exposures and reverses, and it all turns out happily at the end like some Oscar Wilde farce. Not to be missed.
