Movie Reviews of Y Tu Mama Tambien
Movie Review: Hot independent film
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was unique, funny, entertaining , deep, erotic, smart film. Everything about this movie is good . It's about 2 17 or 18 yr old friends who meet this 28 yr old more experienced woman.They go on a little trip , a road trip to a secluded beach after thier girlfriends leave for europe. They vow to thier girlfriends they wont cheat on them and leave and in the process discover themselves and thier desires and feelings and learn about themselves and eachother and the feelings the 2 friends even have for eachother and the secrets they kept from eachother come out from all the happenings and passion going on between them and the woman thier with. The woman teaches them alot about thier feelings and actions and little do they know that the woman whos teaching them so much has problems of her own that she has to come to terms with, not trivial problems such as they have but serious problems. well there problems arnt trivial but her problem is alot worse. but in the end they all end up having a great time and learning from eachother, physically and mentally- but the boys dont realize that the woman had such a problem till the very end and then the end is very sad. not for the woman only , but the boys too who shared such a incredible friendship. The story is great, this dvd is worth the money.Movie Review: An unabashed - in your face - trip to discovering maturity
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW .... right from the beginning this movie grabs your attention and doen't really let it until we get to the expected, but still 'surprise' ending ...... This masterpiece by director Alfonso Cuaron captures Mexico today it felt as if I was taking a weekend trip from Mexico city to Tasco ..... I purchased the 'unrated' theatrical version and really have to admit that you certainly would never see this movie at you local mutiplex .... Using a unique narrator style, the director manages to fill in a travelogue tha adds to the realism and poignancy of the movie and gives the viewer that feeling of almost being a participant on this wondefull trip to the beach ....
Maribel Verdu, as the 28 year old Luisa presents us with nothing less than a stunning performance that is totally believable .....
For those of you that may be reticent in buying a DVD even though you dont speak Spanish, forget it, I speak Spanish but had to read the subtitles through most of the movie, since, like real life, unless you're a young Mexican and on the scene you'd be asking 'what did you say ..?' or 'I didn't hear you ..?' etc etc .....
Get the DVD ... and leave you're preconceived notins at home ... enjoy the trip .... and be prepared for real twits in a great story ......
Movie Review: Best Foreign film I've ever seen...
Summary: 5 Stars
WARNING SPOILERS
In this movie two 18-year-old boys living in Mexico say goodbye to their girlfriends who are spending the summer in Italy and prepare for a summer of sex, partying and drugs.
At a family member's wedding they meet a beautiful older woman named Luisa and tell her that they're planning on driving across Mexico to a "beach" called, "Heaven's Mouth." Of course the boys made the whole thing up to impress the girl.
The next day Luisa gets some terrible news from her husband as well as her doctor, so she calls up the boys and tells them that she wants to travel with them to the beach.
The boys agree to take her to a non-exsistant beach.
Along the way the boys find out about sex, friendship, how to properly treat a woman, and life.
Sure there is a lot of sex in this movie, and some people have even called this movie, porno, but you know what there is a wonderful life lesson to be learned here.
And yes the closing scene with the boys and Luisa may not be for everyone, but without it the movie will not be complete. You have to watch this scene, or the movie won't tie together. You know what I mean? That's why you need to buy the unrated version.
Movie Review: There's just life, in Spanish
Summary: 5 Stars
On the surface, this film blantantly demonstrates raw sexuality, but there is something much more to this story. The levels of intamcy between the characters is quite outstanding. The two main male characters start off as the closest of friends. I found it amazing that two young males could masturbate together, talking about women, turning each other on, so distant, yet so close. The main female character acts as a mentor two our young men. By the end of the film, you get the impression that the two main male characters could easily expand their relationship from friends to lovers. Each genuinely cares for the other. Also, you get a glimpse of life in another country, Mexico. This story is about growing up and in the process learning that something must be lost in order for growth to occur. Is it a loss of innocence? From my perspective, I use the following metaphor. It's as if these three characters are living in a darknened room and someone turns on a light. There is something sad in that experience. Knowing you are now more aware, but the truth is that you are free. This freedom only occurs once fear is shed, then anything is possible among the endless possiblities of existence.Movie Review: Sexy, mezmorizing, and just plain great.
Summary: 5 Stars
As far as sexual coming of age films go they litterally don't get better than this. I loved every second of the Spanish language film in it's erotic power, it's flawless screenplay, and it's honest nature in dealing with human connection.
Louisa, a woman in her late 20's, decides amid all the uncertainity in her life to go on a Mexican road trip with two teenage boys, Tenoche and Julio, who are sexually obsessed, rowdy, and spoiled. The boys are whirled in sex, jelousy, and trading dark secrets, that will change them for ever. It's a fascinating journey and the way any of the three leads interact with eachother is never phoney or uninteresting. You do learn something at the end that makes looking back at the movie even better.
This film is unrated obviously because the makers didn't want the dreaded NC-17 rating. It explores things American filmmakers are unable or unwilling to. It uses sex realistically and it's never exploitation. For those, minus the very young, who want a stunning, often funny portrayal of absorbing, real world sexuality, you must get this movie, and I imagine you'll be watching it more than once.
