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....
This film is based on a very popular radio show in Chile. When I went to see it with my wife we were very surprised with the excellent acting, witty details and the pathos that's also in two of the stories.
This has become *the* most popular movie ever filmed in Chile, with nearly 1.000.000 viewers as of today (this in a country where *very* popular movies gross 200.000 spectators). The reason lies in its excellent acting, direction and screenplay.
I hope Cristian Galaz will repeat this remarkable feat.

As someone said above, this film is based on a very popular radio program broadcast in Chile, in which people used to phone the radio station so as to tell their affairs, sexual adventures and problems.
Therefore, the film is shown as if someone calls in and tells his/her story, but instead of listening to it we see the images. The film is divided into 3 stories. The first one is a very hilarious story about a college student who has a hot affair with a married woman. The second; on the contrary, is about a bizarre incestuous relationship that will leave your jaw dropped in astonishment. The last one is the most hilarious of the three, dealing with the space and time problems that a couple has to have sex due to the large number of people living in the house and to their money scarcity.
I believe that the third story unveils the raw reality of haves-not Chileans, whose apartments, granted by the government, are as small as a match box. Moreover, most of the times there are about fourteen people living in those apartments! So forget about the words PRIVACY and your own SPACE.

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.
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
