Excuses!

This film is one very entertained and with amusing situations taken almost until the subrealism. History deals with two pairs, where the men work together, but one is a woman-hunter with desire to undertake new vision of its labor land, whereas the other not this contentment neither with its work nor with its life, however he accepts it and even shuts up. When being developed history, the things confuse, and give to foot to a series of ingenious situations full of humor and simplicity.

On the other hand, I say that is an original play, adapted to the cinema by the same director and scriptwriter of the work: Joel Joan. That she is the protagonist as well. Recommendable to happen wonderful awhile.

It's a bit of a rarity because its a Catalan language film but if you're armed with subtitles (unless you are a Catalan speaker of course!) then you're good to go! It is about the manic, egotistical Cristian who ropes in his reluctant friend Jesus into forming their new business and their relationships with their wives. I thought it was pretty funny myself - I get a bit lost with film comedies from Spain but this is good value I think. A solid 7 out of 10.

Cristian is a women-hunter that comes from a New-York travel and tells his friend Jesus that he has the contacts to fulfill their dreams: Starting a advertisement business. Begoña, Jesus' wife, hates Cristian and is pregnant, so she doesn't want his husband to take stupid risks, and Jesus, not very willingly denies the project. The tryings of the two to convince Jesus become a theoretically funny situations in which everyone tell excuses to not really deal with the fact hey don't want to do something. I've seen the theatre part this movie comes from and it's quite bad, I hoped that the movie could be better, but it worse indeed. None of the actors makes the minimum decent part, characters are hateful and stupid (very!) and there are many scenes done only to fill minutes to the film. Some others, as Cristian driving a Ferrari, seem totally that as the actor wanted to drive it, knowing that Joel Joan is also the director, said: let's do it, I'm the boss, I can do it!. Please, there are better ways to spend 90minutes of your life.
