Romantic but dated Spanish comedy in which two good and sympathetic starring actors become involved into improbable situations .
13 December 2021
Romantic and amusing Dramedy (comedy/drama) with touches of profanity and full of entertainment , humor and sheer amusement . This enticing , funny comedy contains emotion , mirth , and lots of jokes and laughs . The main premise is the following one : Pedro (Pere Ponce) is an unfortunate young who doesn't get a good job , his last one results to be as a ¨Cobrador del Frac¨ , along the way , he goes out searching for a girl , but the night doesn't seem to be good . While he is talking with a friend, he sees Sara (Ariadna Gil) , a young veterinary , breaking up with a boy (Javier Bardem) . He goes after her , and they end up sleeping in his house . Time goes by and they go on together , but then things get worse . As the classic plot about boy falls for girl , and boy loses girl , as they join again and separate over and over , spreading throughout the film . That's why Sara has too many men around and she fears of commitment , as Pablo can't hold that .

Entertaining romantic comedy with fine actors , adequate cinematography , sensitive score and professional direction . This attractive comedy contains emotion , humor , very brief drama and bemusement . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind , and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few embarrassing . The flick relies heavily on the continued relationship between two starring , about their breaking up and loving relation again and so on ; but it doesn't make boring but entertaining . As the plot develops the peculiar character of Silvia , a young veterinary of doubtful morality surrounded by several men with whom she falls in love at the same time , though the love she feels to Pedro remains alive and dead as well . However , the romantic issue of the protagonists is so repetitive and the most part turns out to be rich in absurdities and implausibilities . Their relation is complex , they love each other ; nevertheles , they can not be together . Fun comedy and its success on the big screen owes much to a number of known actors , including romantic touches here and there and in which humor and entertainment are well guaranteed . The picture attempts to expand optimism about the events of life , culture , differences and love , including its amusing sides . Witty and agreeable screenplay from David Trueba and director Emilio Martínez-Lázaro himself . The roles in this film are all lovable despite being rather pathetic and silly , being well played by Pere Ponce and Ariadna Gil . They are finely accompanied by a good support cast , such as : a pre-Hollywood Javier Bardem , Cassen , Lina Canalejas , Alberto Jimenez , Cayetana Guillén Cuervo , Nancho Novo and cameo by film writer , David Trueba.

Lively and catching musical score by Michel Camilo, including charming song : Tú volverás written by Antonio Carmona, José Miguel Carmona & Juan Carmona performed by Ketama . As well as colorful and brilliant cinematography by José Luis López-Linares . The motion picture was well directed by Emilio Martínez Lázaro, though is inferior than his precedent films and obtained success enough at Spanish Boxoffice . It won some awards , such as : Fotogramas de Plata 1993 Winner Best Movie Actress Ariadna Gil , Ondas Awards 1992 Winner Film Award Best Acting Pere Ponce , Best Acting Ariadna Gil ; Peñíscola Comedy Film Festival 1992 Winner Best Actress Ariadna Gil , Winner Best Film Emilio Martínez Lázaro ; Sant Jordi Awards 1993 Winner Sant Jordi Best Spanish Actress Ariadna Gil . Director Emilio Martinez Lázaro was born in 1945 in Madrid , location in which he often shoots his films . He is a Spanish prestigious cinema director . Emilio is a director and writer, a good filmmaker expert on comedies as he has proved in : Los Peores Años de Nuestra Vida (1994) , El Juego Más Divertido (1998) and Amo Tu Cama Rica (1992) , drama : Las 13 Rosas (2007) La Voz De Su Amo (2001) , Musical as : Al Otro Lado De La Cama (2002) , Los Dos Lados de La Cama (2005) .
