Di que sí (2004)
5/10
Paz Vega fans can even enjoy this turkey
8 February 2006
Nobody is expecting a masterpiece of a silly comedy and that's exactly what "Di Que Sí" aims to be. Nothing wrong with that. It's just dumb entertainment and it has to be taken as such. That doesn't mean, of course, that we should swallow everything without criticism. And there are quite a few regarding this movie. The idea of the plot opens some possibilities but I have to say that the makers didn't work them out properly, especially because they didn't seem to have thought out any kind of defined personality for some characters or any form of logic for the plot. It might sound like I would be expecting too much of a silly comedy but it's not so much to ask for a minimal portion of common sense if you are suppose to relate to any of the characters. They just seem to have relayed on the type of traditional dimwitted clichés that would be too old for an Ozores comedy. And, maybe worst of all, Spanish filmmakers seem to be looking too much to Hollywood instead of developing their much better qualities. Such a marvelous actress like Paz Vega made the best out of her part and achieved the most enjoyable moments of the movie, even though she was forced to act like she was from Mars. And poor Santi Millán, also a talented actor, had to cope with a typical nobody-can-be-that-stupid kind of stuff to a point that is really hard to endure. I mean, come on, I know more than one guy, including myself, that would agree to be shot, let alone get money, after having the chance to spend a couple of days with Paz Vega in a beach resort and there is no discernible reason for anybody to act otherwise, unless you are making a silly comedy. The plot twists in this movie are presided by idiocy and at a certain point you don't care anymore. The only one I wanted to survive was Paz Vega, but just to have the chance to see her again. In a better movie.
