Los 2 lados de la cama

Its almost same like first, i mean almost everyone is cheater in relationship. its kinda comedy or sex comedy with no nudity, at least first movie has some good hot nude scenes. this one is ok. the movie also has same complicated ending like the first movie.

weak n broken relationships. i wished that this movie atleast end with some good positive happy ending. but it ends same way as the first movie.

After watching the surprisingly good EL OTRO LADO DE LA CAMA, I expected its second part to be good, but, as usual in sequels is much worse than the first part. Thre years have passed since the first part and pairs are, at last, stable and they are going to marry. The arriving of a new girl to the group will change everything. Most of the time the film results a bit boring, as most of the jokes are bad or repetitive; and the actors are not as inspired as the other film. The plot is too much simple and it is not large enough to need 90 minutes to be told, which makes the film a little boring. On the other hand, the film has two memorable scenes that are absolutely spectacular and makes the pain of seeing the film a not-so-bad exercise. The soundtrack, anyway is spectacular, with most of the best Spanish songs of the las 30 years.

Contrary to what some people say, I believe this sequel to "El otro lado de la cama" is much funnier than the first. I must confess I've seen both films in different order, first I saw "Los 2 lados..." and then I saw "El otro lado...", so maybe this has to do with my preference as I think it affects how the viewer reacts to the sequel. I had no idea what the first movie was about, so I watched this without prejudice and no back story, and I enjoyed it immensely. The gags are always funny, specially the ones that have the men in them, as the story lines for the two girls are the most boring, they don't really have much to work with. So, contrary to what happened in the prequel where both men and women enjoyed the same status in the movie and all of them had great lines, in this one all the weight of the plot sits on the two main actors, Ernesto Alterio (a favorite of mine) and Guillermo Toledo (a very talented Spanish actor). Even Alberto San Juan has a great role in the film and displays some of the funniest lines (my favorite: "España se acaba" which means "It's the end of Spain"). The cast is excellent and these are some of the best Spanish actors around (even though Alterio is Argentinian). I think the music numbers are far better than those of the prequel and the songs more recognizable (80s Spanish hits that bring good memories). I enjoyed the plot in this one better than "El otro lado...", i think Pedro and Javier are such a funny couple, competing all the time for girls, its almost ridiculous but their relationship is always hilarious. They will also find something about themselves that hadn't suspect before. All in all I enjoyed the sequel a lot more than the prequel which was a bit of a disappointment. You don't need to have seen the first one to enjoy this, it stands as one film alone. I highly recommend it, you'll have an hysterical time with it and the cast is gorgeous.

This movie was a huge box office success earlier this year in Spain, and given that success, I expected a little more out of it.

There were some very funny moments and the songs featured were great as they were all Spanish hit songs from the last few decades. All the songs were performed by the actors themselves. But I was disappointed by the plot, there just was not enough meat to fill the 108 min and the ending seemed unrealistic. It dragged a little too long and could have been cut 20 minutes shorter.

I have not seen the other movie EL OTRO LADO DE LA CAMA but I hear it was very good and much better than this one.

This is the second part of the successful 'Al otro lado de la cama'. Only two main characters have changed, now played by Vero Sanchez y Lucia Jimenez while before we had Paz Vega and Natalia Verbeke, and the structure is quite similar to the first one: 3 girls, actually 4,(the previous two plus Maria Esteve and Pilar Castro) and 3 guys (Willy Toledo, Ernesto Alterio y Alberto San Juan) in their thirties living in nice apartments in Madrid and having their love and sexual life entangled. This of course together with nice Latin (mostly from Spain) music performed by the actors.

To me the movie achieves its goal as a soft comedy directed to Spanish people in their thirties who can relate easily to the music they perform and also to some of the problems they face. However, it does not deviate at all from the structure of the previous one although now the relations between the couples are a bit different, and that means it is essentially the same movie with slightly different actors and situations.

Another point I would like to stress, and it is more of a complain to the script: why do the laughing lines fall into the guys? Can't the girls have also some good lines in this comedy? Come on, Veronica Sanchez and Lucia Jimenez deserved some comedy as well, I want to laugh with Spanish actresses in the same way I did with Carol Lombard in "To be or not to be"!. In this movie, all the "good" comedy lines are for the guys, which are OK in their roles (very similar, if not exactly the same, as in the previous one) and none for any of the girls (except a bit for Maria Esteve and Pilar Castro) which act in a way as simple beautiful filling in this comedy. Can't we have beautiful actresses who can make us laugh? Please, let's write better comedy scripts for these very talented bunch of girls!!

In any case the movie is worth seeing on a Sunday afternoon!
