Sexo con amor

This film really made me laugh. It's not like those typical American movies in which sex is portrayed with prudery, timidity or solemnity. The sex scenes are portrayed in an open way. What I like in many Spanish and hispano-American films is the care with which they choose the actors/actresses. The chemistry among the actors/actresses is taken into consideration. That's why their sex, friendship and romantic scenes are much more intense than in their American counterparts. This film is a joy to see and hear. It's entertaining and thought-provoking. Some Spanish and hispano-American films I recommend are: "Pantaleon y las visitadoras", "La nina santa" "Todo sobre mi madre", "Maria Full of Grace" "Mar Adentro", "Sexo por compassion" (see this one after "Sexo con amor") etc.. I live in Brazil and would like to see much more Spanish-speaking films. There should be a greater integration among Latin-American countries.

Especially for those of us who have spent time living in Chile, this is by far one of the best films I have ever seen. While the other comments are right in that it is like a soap opera, this movie has so much more than the traditional Latin American melodrama. Typical of what I have come to expect from Chilean films and even some soap operas on TV, Sexo con amor is extremely mature in the way it tackles some of society's most common problems- and its best kept secrets. Not to worry that this film might be heavy and too serious, it kept me laughing the whole time. Without subtitles, one without at least an introduction into "chilenismos" would be hard pressed to keep up, but I recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in learning more about Chile.

A group of parents goes to their children's school to talk about how to face the topic of sex in front of the kids. But all the grown ups in the room, teacher included, are way behind of being capable to even mention what's the best thing to do about sexuality.

Sexo con Amor (Sex With Love) is an assembled cast movie with excellent performances. Main characters played by Sigrid Alegría and Alvaro Rudolphy, the unfaithful teacher and the adulterous office man, are astounding. But laurels should be given to director- screen writer- lead character Boris Quercia, who plays an unsatisfied husband tempted with a gorgeous niece who comes from France. His frigid wife is acted wonderfully by María Izquierdo, a sort of Chilean Carol Burnette.

Music is even better. The soundtrack includes several songs of `Los Petinellis' one of the most popular rock bands in Chile these days.

Unfaithfulness, safe sex, terrible sex, great sex, gay sex, Santiago is exposed as a crowded city of imperfect inhabitants with great candor.

The tagline gives a trend about part of the mood within the film (La pelicula que no acaba./ the movie which doesn't come.) Well, it's interesting how wide is the range of myths or taboos included in every piece of conversation about sex. Whether is an uptight fellow or an open mind one, there is always a tiny bit of lack of honesty at the moment of talking about our own sexuality.

The biggest box office hit in Chilean cinema. The reason is a conventional and horny country whose people yell out asking for a movie that show a bit of sincerity. And we have got it.

8/ 10

First of all, why this movie is in " softcore porn" category in google ?. i think its simple sex comedy , even not much sex or nudity (only i wish this movie made by tinto brass) but still it does have some hot scenes. Performance and production quality is decent for that country.

The movie is also little bit like that movie " cheating love 2002" , same kinda vibe. but here its bit simple. its about 3 married couples whos spouse are being unfaithful or has sexual desires with someone else.

i really didnt like the ending, because its not satisfied or complicated.

Cheating / adultery always ends bad but here in this movie all cheaters got away with it. and it gives MIX feelings about cheating in different couple. 1st couple where TEACHER gf / wife is having an affair with old man, she actually falls in love with old guy and she realised in the end scene when her student as " children with love", means she got pregnant by old man which is about LOVE but she finished the affair to back with her bf and she regret it in end (it seems).

the 2nd couple, a womanizer man , a dog who likes to have sex with another woman but when he found or SUSPECT? that his wife also having affair? with another guy then he is trying to reconcile with wife and they did.

3rd couple. uncle n niece ? wtf..

Simple and funny comedy that take a real picture of many Latin American people. This could be the beginning of the "destape", see this is observe how Chileans starting in sex. She and He. Both, you could have a good moment buying this movie.

Boris Quercia, director, is an actor that could be a good director if continue this way, anyway, you also may see: "El Rey De ls Huevones", his 2006 movie that too have excellent press coverage more for his quality and unrestricted way to show Chileans way to do things.

And please don't believe that guatemalteco guy that say this is a bad movie, over 3 million people saw that movie only in Chile.
