Así del precipicio

Super sexy Ana de la Reguera can't save this movie from sinking. The story is too lame and personal that maybe the director/writer wrote it when she was 14. Te first 5 mins of the movie are the best example of what is coming next: sex, drugs, bad acting, terrible dialog and lots of plot holes and contradictions.

There was strong publicity on this movie that was sure to pull a lot of people into theaters, most of them guys looking to get a peek of Ana's nude scene.

Unfortunately Mexico creates 20 bad filmmakers for every good one. Not too mention the hundreds who don't have the connections, friends or relatives to get the money for they movie, or a family fortune...

I can't believe how Mexican studios still throw away money like that.

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll have all been easy draws to a film. This one opens with some hot steamy sex (and drugs) between Lucia (Ana de la Reguera - Cop Out) and a bullfighter (Alejandro Nones). The next minute she is rushing to work and shooting the squeegee guys through her windshield. She did tell them not to do it! Hanna (Ingrid Martz) is having problems with her very rich husband (Ricardo Kleinbaum), a real mamma's boy. She spends a lot of time in therapy. She also likes to check out breasts more than I do, if that is possible, especially Sandra's (Anna Ciocchetti).

Carmen (Gabriela Platas), Unemployed likes to hang with a gay and a transvestite, and snort cocaine. In fact, I don't think five minutes goes by with her snorting more.

Put these three in one apartment, and you are certain to have some steamy and exciting action. Unfortunately, only one seems to end up finding happiness.

I thought the acting was great, and the story certainly kept your interest.

I thought twice about to write this comment, but since I have wasted my time watching that rubbish I decided to get something worth from it. Well lets take it straight ahead, would you like to see some sex scenes?, there are a few and in that case I would recommend to watch any another movie, or if for any reason you got the DVD just watch the beginning and speed it up till almost the end. Would you like to know how is the life in Mexico?, I mean the real life, the one of most of the Mexicans live day after day?, I recommend strongly "La Ley de Herodes" (that's a real master piece). In another hand I really do not know what Teresa Suarez tried to show. If there is an aim or a message I really missed it. It is so funny that in this movie she shows a "nice" and "cool" Mexican people, having a wonderful life, while the reality is that 40% of the people (40 millions) in that country are living under the poverty line. I really wonder if she has actually any kind of knowledge about writing or directing or if she has ever walked through out the streets of Mexico. Moreover, it could be interesting to know how Teresa got the funding for such a movie.

Regarding the comment below mine-- just because Mexico is an underdeveloped country, does that mean all movies must be about poverty? There is, obviously, a Mexican upper-class. As a student I lived with many Mexicans (who were from wealthy families) and they reminded me of some of the characters in the movie, especially with their careless use of cocaine. Regardless of how "realistic" this movie is-- I have no idea-- it is a bit funny, and satirical view of a few friends "on the edge." So I don't think this director should be criticized, at all, for making a movie involving the upper-class and cocaine. As for the movie- I found it to be entertaining, I had no idea what would happen next. At times I wondered, where is this all going? It didn't seem to have a very clear theme, but I recommend it to anyone who can stand a few very graphic sex scenes.

Crap, crap, crap... I saw this movie because it promised a good work, (or so was the campaign).

But what i found was a fistful of clichés, bad acting, bad timing, bad direction, bad use of a could be good plot, bad edition, etc.

The vision of the excess is very simplistic.

It pretends to be controversial putting some nudes around here, some drug abusing there, some violence there, but all that is gratuitous.

But the worse of all is its pretentiousness, it pretends to be a "not for the weak of hearth" movie, it pretends to give us a moral, but worse of all, it pretends to be a movie.

It is so bad that even the involuntary humor is bad.

It's a shame that Mexican cinema nowadays is very poor, both in quantity and quality.
