Great actors/actresses wasted in a poor film.

For the year it was filmed, it's a complete disaster, especially the script and direction. It attempts to copy some of Almodovar's films, but it doesn't quite work. It starts out as an LGBT-themed comedy with a lesbian protagonist and her gay/drag queen friend, and ends as a heterosexual romantic comedy. The treatment of several themes was 20 years behind the times (it might have been acceptable for an '80s film). It's full of clichés, and the jokes lack humor. There are several good, well-known actors and actresses (both Spanish and Argentine), but their performances are disjointed, and there's no chemistry whatsoever, and they end up being wasted.

NOT a waste of time

A confusing tale about a confused, free spirited girl and her confusing "romance" with a guy who will do ANYTHING to win her love. (Well, almost anything; no spoilers here.) Why not a waste of time? In two words: Leticia Bredice. She is a beautiful blonde with very good acting skills. I watched the whole film just to see her, she's mesmerizing. Lots of cross-dressing, a few nude scenes, a bit of cursing, not exactly a family type film, but everything is done in relative good taste. I'd recommend it if you have an hour and a half to kill.

ABSOLUTELY NOT a waste of time

I agree with the previous comment but it is not only the presence of Leticia Bredice, who indeed is drop-dead gorgeous, that makes this movie so attractive. The Spanish actress Silke is divine too and with her androgynous appeal adds a very interesting contrast to Bredice's classical beauty. The scene in the bath tub is worth watching over and over. If you add the beautiful and colorful locations in Tenerife, lots of male and female skin and gifted actors like the unique Antonio Gasalla or Divina Gloria you have a light but really attractive comedy that beats most similar comedies made in (and not made in) Hollywood. Also appealing is the contrast between the Argentinian and Spanish accents (again the bath tub-scene!). All in all terribly underrated and full of surprises !!!

Only Leticia Brédice justifies to see such film

I saw Almejas y mejillones in a film festival and between more than 200 movies it was the name of talented and beauty argentinian actress Leticia Brédice that caught me. I love her work on Nine Queens/Nueve Reinas/Nove Rainhas. This movie stay lost and didn't work as comedy or romance. The director and the screenplay were very weak and only Leticia made me stay till the end. For her fans the movie also has some nude scenes but I am sure that a good actress as Leticia deserves better movies. Hope to see her in them in the future. Almejas y Mejillones is a waste of time.
