Sex, love, lies, bed-hopping and mistaken identities abound in this pop musical-comedy set in Madrid. The gorgeous Paula (Natalia Verbeke) breaks up with perpetually glum Pedro (Guillermo Toledo) in order to take her affair with Javier (Ernesto Alterio) to the next level. The immature Javier however, is unwilling to break up with Sonia (SEX Y LUCIA star Paz Vega) or confess their affair to Pedro, who happens to be his best friend. Things get worse when Pedro hires a private detective to find out who Paula is sleeping with, and Javier tries to absolve his guilt by finding him a new girlfriend among his own exes. When Javier and Sonia go off on their own for a romantic weekend, Sonia and Pedro get together to comfort one another, and more complications ensue. Director Martinez-Lazaro sets the comedy, angst, and sexuality to a frothy boil in this crowd-pleaser; it was a big hit in his native Spain. For fans of bedroom-hopping farce and goofy, high-spirited Latin rock musical numbers, this will undoubtedly prove a lot of fun. Vega and Verbeke are amazingly lovely and Maria Eleve is fun as a much-too-talkative girl in love with Pedro. The goofy musical sequences occur in bars, museums, and health clubs; and feature choreography by Pedro Berdayes.

Pleasant bed-hopping farce let down by some dull songs and indifferent singing.

This was one of the most uninspiring films i've seen. I was hoping it might be camp but it didn't manage that, either. I fast forwarded through the ... read more »

I'm a melon boy!
I'm a Spaniard. This movie actually was hilarious and we loved it. Reading the comments I think people haven't actually understood it. The subtitles are... read more »

Spanish cheese fest I totally enjoyed
I had so much fun watching this tonight. The fruit bit had me screaming with laughter. Cheesy song 'n' dance routines. Predictable plot but I still ... read more »

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
Oh dear. I rented this title without noting in advance that this is a musical. What could be a mildly amusing romcom about pouty Madrid types with slack morals ... read more »
