The best chilean movie I ever saw...It has everything and for everyone. Comedy, drama, and a mixture. Three stories well produced, interesting, and funny.... Very good acts. Based on the radio program "EL CHACOTERO SENTIMENTAL". I recommend it a lot....
Although the universality of the films is very arguable, but for people who understands some about the society of such small country this film can be a blast. This is the first film --that I can remember, which talks about a subject not mixed with political issues (sex), as they used to be, and had to be after the 1973 coup. A very enjoyable experience.
Based on stories from the radio show "El Chacotero Sentimental", -something like The Love Joker- It's a real radio show where anyone can call and tell his/her sentimental problems, and its announcer -Rumpi- tries to guide them with humor. The movie... Three stories... They are: "El Patas Negras", "Secretos" and "Todo es Cancha". The second story -"Secretos"- is the best and most powerful in my opinion. Very cinematographic and with the emotional depth required. It has an schizophrenic look and feel. Very adequate. The performances are all very good, especially Claudia Celedón and Tamara Acosta. The movie goes from light comedy to hard drama to comedy-drama. And it surprisingly succeeds in all three. A warning though: the announcer appears from time to time during the stories; this can be distracting for some people; I think he is a bit overacted -well, he's not an actor, this is the real guy playing himself- his part needed more work to be completely satisfying. Anyway, this was by far the most successful Chilean movie ever seen in Chile in decades. Surpassing in the box office such films as "The Sixth Sense" and many other Hollywood blockbusters... for weeks! This is one of the best Chilean movies I've seen in a while. Not since "La Frontera" has another Chilean movie really moved me like this one did. Great work.
"El Chacotero Sentimental" is truly a daily radio show in Chile, in which people speaks on open air -via phone- about their sentimental and sexual life. "El Rumpy", also a real character, is this show's host, and this movie presents three self standing stories -hot ones-, linked together as if they were three phone calls in a row, which are listened and questioned by El Rumpy. These stories are most about infidelity and funny sexual issues.
It is not deepening art, but the cinematography is smooth and very surrounding. The storyboard is also very interesting. Note that all three stories are based upon real phone calls since 1995.

In 1999, Cristian Gallaz created the most hilarious Chilean comedian -in accordance with me- for the last times. He shows a perfect vision of the real Chilean people, describing the real personality, fantasy, dreams, perspectives and more from the typical "medium class" Chilean people. In a brief comment, The Rumpy is an young radio host DJ whose call-in program in present time called El Chacotero Sentimental and -the program- is listened throughout all of Chile. His candid but humorous advice to the lovelorn strikes a chord with his listeners. It is business as usual as El Chacotero Sentimental takes on three callers who spill their hearts and inner thoughts for Rumpy and the whole of Chile to hear. But are these torrid tales of love affairs, family secrets and unusual circumstances really that unusual. An enormous success in Chile, El Chacotero Sentimental is based on an live radio program. In the USA DVD edition, this movie was called The Sentimental Teaser
