    spanish comedy about .. Cheating is all Fun n games. No love.

    First of all, Damn ,, those ladies are pretty hot n sexy n cute. the performance is nice. well its a comedy movie , nothing serious in it. so i would say its ok that ending is suks.

    2 couples , and everyone is a cheaters . cant control whats " between in legs" . so they all do whatever the feelings let them to do. and even in the end, its kinda bad ending but still they made it funny.

    Smart, Spanish comedy about infidelity

    This movie is well written, well directed, well acted, and fresh.

    The sex is integral to the movie, and only modest amounts of skin are shown.

    This is great comedy.

    It's subtle, and deserves a viewing.

    You are at first drawn into a plot involving infidelity, but the behavior slowly spreads to all four of the primary characters, and by movie's end the entanglements are complete and there is much fun to be had.

    Do rent this.

    outrageous feelgood movie for adults

    An engaging song and dance musical about two couples who get off with each other's partners. All very light hearted feelgood adult stuff in the style of many a light Shakespeare or Mozart comedy, but updated to include lots of nitty-gritty. The cast are drop dead gorgeous, they have mottos like "there's not enough f*cking in the world" and are ultimately tolerant enough about each other's misdemeanours and tendency to be economical with the truth. All politically correct, with lots of mixed sexual orientation to keep it bubbling, a private detective who gets it all on video (after solving the mystery of how JFK committed suicide and how Marylin Monroe never really died), unexpected exposures and reverses, and it all turns out happily at the end like some Oscar Wilde farce. Not to be missed.

    Not a particularly illuminating and substantial film,but funny

    I liked the WEST SIDE STORY/Umbrellas of Cherbourg combination

    --- the characters exude understated loneliness and passion/longing in their (usually) solitary musings/hallucinations like the doomed lovers in the French film; while the superbly choreographed dances are lively, flamboyant and outrageous, as in the Robert Wise musical classic.

    The picture's quality is so sleek, glossy and crisp- just like the sharply polished characters with their cool jobs and lifestyles. Although they tend to be alienating --- so "Melrose Place", they belong to a TV show rather than a movie, they're just too devastatingly gorgeous, hip and lucky--- some characters have the odd, downright pathetic (though emotionally lightweight) predicament that make us somehow care about them (and of course, envy them).

    What further heightens my TV soap-opera comparison is the characters being trapped in the little world they created themselves, which, although very exciting, is also very stressful and complicated. Hence, the songs are mostly performed in small, enclosed places and in medium shots and close-ups, unlike in the grand, majestic West Side Story and Umbrellas of Cherbourg musicals.

    The highstrung dramatic moments are kept in check by the funny, ironic twists and the characters' amusing weaknesses, and why is it that the men are such cads and a-holes and cute lovable hunks at the same time?

    Despite the preoccupation with very personal "issues", the film manages to get some social commentary in. Though the guys in testosterone overdrive just wanna have fun, they acknowledge the warrior-like quality of women and the fact that it is they who control the sexual relationship. Likewise, the characters take "marriage" humorously and lightly- in fact, even mock it with a naughty grin.

    Not a particularly illuminating and substantial film, but its bombastic, wacky dances, sexy anatomies galore and sizzling, riotous swinging-sex-partner-swapping action guarantee that you're in for an enjoyable rockin' and bed-rollin...

    Best seen "on the other side of the bed" with your partner

    • Trivia
      Initially, this movie was entitled "C'est magnifique" and the numbers were intended to be mimed. This seemed awful to Emilio Martínez Lázaro and he decided that the songs had to be sung by the actors themselves.
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD of the film contains several deleted scenes not seen in the theatrical release of the movie. These include:
      • Pilar singing "Me Cuelgas El Telefono" after Pedro hangs up on her.
      • Javier trying to convince someone on the telephone to let him use their house in the mountains for an illicit rendezvous with Paula.
      • An extended "melon boy" scene.
      • Pilar talking about how her and Pedro communicate without words.
      • Pilar telling Pedro she will wait for his love.
