As one of the cheap, mediocre and predictable productions in which a character looks for something unfulfilled, the movie doesn't offer a plot with high quality. It is easy to foresee what is going to come soon. The actors do just fine, but the plot does not give them a chance to show a real talent. Everything is there; very easy to see. When a woman is left with the desire and, what is worse- if a woman tastes a glimpse of pleasure with someone else, her mind is often fixated on that other man. This is the whole story. In short, one can say that it is hard to hold back urges. So, keep your man or woman satisfied. Otherwise, you wouldn't understand how fast things can get out of hand. If you are looking for some nudity and a chance to enjoy some Spanish, this is one option, but a cheap one.

More than half of the movie has sex scenes. Zero argument.

A few years ago, Martinez Lazaro release musical called "THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED" a huge success in Spain and besides several technical problems, the movie was a brilliant, political incorrect, but very sincere look at couples relation. A couple of years later, he made a follow keeping only the male characters; but never reached the mix of fun and drama over reality of the first one. Now, and probably compensating women, Lazaro with Daniela Féjerman create a somewhat similar situation, an apparently frigid woman looking for love and sexual pleasure that finally gets an asexual but sweet man she falls in love with; only to fall to the sexual charms of his nutcase friend.

Acting goes from excellent for Alterio and San Juan (both get) to very good for Veronica Sanchez as the woman in a complex situation she tries to correct but cannot control.

Do not expect again political correctness here. There is plenty of nudity and the sexual scenes while brief and far from hardcore, get sometimes very realistic.

In brief; still not as good and funny as "THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BED", but the best romance movie this year.
