No sabe no contesta

Boy, what a fantastic charmer of a movie! Beautifully written with dialog that is so deceptively easy. Absolutely deadpan comedy that is hysterical to watch. The story of Joaquin, his family and friends and the girl he falls in love with. The entire plot revolves around a piano that must be sequestered in Joaquin's grandparents house in order not to be seized by the courts in payment for the collapse of Joaquin's father's business. Everything that can go wrong. does go wrong and the piano is progressively destroyed throughout the movie. Fantastic performances from the talented young cast, terrific star power at work here. Funny, funny, funny scenes with voice overs contradicting the actual dialog being spoken. Beautifully directed, unexpected twists and turns in a nonlinear storyline that is charmingly flaky. Wonderfully original. If you want something that is completely different to the usual dreck of adolescent screw-ups seen in American cinema then get your hands on this one. An absolute delight!

This is no work of stellar genius, but it is entertaining. The story revolves around Joaquín who is faced with his friends, his love life, and at home.

It has the same youthful, charming nature to it as "American Pie" and "Dazed and Confused", but with more forward philosophical undertones - as would be the Argentine way.

At times it comes across a bit pedantic, but the fresh-out-film-school air is also a bit refreshing after the well polished, but soulless Hollywood movies most of us are accustomed too.

Because it's not too heavy, but still foreign and smart, it makes great watching with a significant other, friend or really anyone. Just don't expect to be impressed, and you won't be disappointed.

This ill-conceived film directed by Fernando Musa, with a screen play by Jonathan Klajman has no cohesive center. The production people have made a movie that seems to be trying all kinds of things, but it ends up a boring mess.

The story presents us a young man suddenly faced with all kinds of problems that he can't solve. His friends are useless, as they all suck on his energy, but don't help him at all.

The cast is young and talented, but the film doesn't develop at all, as we end up losing interest and patience with it. Notable in the cast, an excellent actor, Daniel Hendler, who has done much better than in this movie. Also good in their roles, Mariano Martinez and Karina Dali.

See it at your own risk.
