Suffer, You Prick

Sufre Mamón is the best spanish movie about love. The argument it's very solid, and the music the perfect accompaniment for fall in love. If you like this movie you must see "Sueltate el Pelo", the second masterpiece of "G men". Essential!.

This film is not a masterpiece because of its nature. But it's just the perfect pic collection from the 80s in Spain. All that you'll see in this movie it's just like happened along this happy decade. And , actually , the name of the girlfriend is Pati. Take it easy , relax , and enjoy a naive light comedy.

This is one of the worst Manuel Summers films, a title that it was made for his son, David Summers and the Hombres G. It is very difficult to make a great movie without good actors, but it is impossible make a movie without any actor. The plot is absolutely ridiculous, without a logical sense. For example, the love affair between David Summers and his girlfriend, Marta, or the boxing scenes in the concert... I don't recommend this film to anyone...

Really, I laugh a lot in this film, it's a wonderful film very very funny, I watched it in the cinema with my brother, also we brought it in video, I like very much the conversations between David and Paty, and the fights that David and his friends have with Ricky, and in class that they get in animals... I still remember when I watched the film in the cinema, and when after singing SUFRE MAMON David does a boxing fight with Ricky, and he wins the fight, but before that the Ricky's band sing a song but they frustrate it with the petard. Really really funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, now I'm trying to search for it in DVD, I would be glad if I found it, and can watch it when I want.

Sufre Mamón was made at the peak of the Hombres G career (Hombres G being the famous Spanish rock/pop band that got really famous throughout Spain and Latin America in the 80's, and are still quite famous today by the way).

It is a movie about how the band got together but also about probably their most famous song: "Devuélveme a mi Chica" ("Give me Back my Girl"), obviously about how David's (lead singer) girl was stolen from him by a snobby arrogant guy that also sings for another band which is the nemesis-band of Hombres G in the movie. David, backed up by his bandmates, will do anything to get her back and take revenge on his enemy. It's a movie made basically for Hombres G fans, although anyone else who isn't familiar with the band would get some good laughs from it as well.

It may not be a big production or cinematographically perfect, but it is entertaining and fun, specially if you like Hombres G. A good Spanish 80's Comedy.
