Di que sí

As long as you go along with the storyline, it's a very enjoyable comedy !

I personally loved the clichés about TV dating shows !

Great casting !

Terrible movie, absolutely awful! With a script that's just plain stupid and a clueless directing, the whole point of the film is silly. The characters are flaw, stereotyped and predictable; they act and evolve for no justified reason. Under these circumstances, even the good work put up by Paz Vega -great as usual in a character not so far from her usual roles- can't avoid the sinking of the ship. On the contrary, her partner Santi Millán becomes as clueless as the director; and it's even painful to watch a good slapstick comedian as Pepe Viyuela in such a stupid character. Mix all that in a story filled in with product placement and obnoxious commercials, and what do you get? 2/10, being generous. A comedy without even a good joke during all the movie? Definitely one NOT worth watching.

The main problem with 'Di Que Sí' is the confusing narration, the clueless director and the screenplay that lacks focus. There is no fluidity. It starts off as a light romantic comedy and in the second half it absurdly and drastically switches to action comedy (with little romance) and in the last minute it's back to romantic comedy. Moreover, Juan Calvo presents some very annoying characters like that terminator wannabe (played by Pepe Viyuela). The soundtrack is likable. What really works in favour of 'Di Que Sí' are the two quirky leads. Paz Vega glows as the beautiful, vibrant and funny Estrella while Santi Millán shines as the shy and goofy Victor in a comparatively quiet and subtle performance. Their scenes together are funny enough, especially the ones that display the clash of their personalities. They're the ones who make the movie somewhat worth the watch watch. Otherwise the movie's got the usual gags and only some of them compensate for the lack of quality.

That simple comedy that surprises me with simplicity and joy, makes our heart warm, despite all the cliché, all the exaggeration, of these silly romantic comedies, but captivating and adorable...

Victor is a poor man that, aged 36, still lives with his mother. Estrella wants to be an actress but has any talent. Due to a chain of mistakes, the are made to play in the program "sí al amor" (yes to love!). They hate each other, but the incentive of a great prize convince them to survive living together during one week. Typical love comedy, with all the usual gags that can be seen on this kind of film, but directed with a little of taste and with some actors that have a decent chemistry. The film is bad, of course, but it is pleasant to see (specially if you don't have anything better to do) and cam make you laugh, which is what we demand to those films. It is compulsory to remark the great acting of the humorist Pepe Viyuela that parodies quite well Terminator in a "Spanish Torrentic way", The scenes with him are the best of this film, that, of course, won't go to the history of filming, but it a little funny and pleasant to see. Don't be very strict with it, and watch it with good eyes...
