Definitely one of the worst Mexican movies in the late years. Its the first movie of an director who doesn't know the genre he is working on. An absolute lack of rhythm and true comedy. The events come very easily and fast one after another. the writer fails to make us care about the relation between a young fat girl (and not charismatic) who lies every time and a man who seems to acept her no matter what. we never know why the characters do what they doing at all. why he loves her?, why her friend helps her and makes a unbelievable plan? why his dad trows his cell to the water? big questions that only the creators know. The acting is terrible, in fact thers no direction on actors who mostly come from TV, particularly the leading roles have simply no chemistry between them. Ludwika Paleta is interesting in a unexpected role as the villain but the director's unability makes her look ridiculous in the movie's climax. In the end is only a Mexican Hollywood-wanna-be comedy that simply fails for missing the most important thing; make audience laugh and care about the characters.

Blowup is not about what people see, is about what we WANT to see. First: Blowup is a critic to the media. The film show us that the people behind the information, can manipulate the information.We (the audience)don't take the time to analyze if the photos or videos we see in the news are real or just fake. We assume that they tell us the truth coz "if its in TV or in the news must be truth". Thats the essential of the film. Worst of all is that in this case, the photographer seems to believe his own lie. But why? thats the question. Seems that for Antonioni, the key is sex. the main character feels something for this friend's wife (the painter). the main character wants to do something like that paintings, something that can top those paintings to get her attention. an he will even if he has to believe in something he somehow doesn't know he is sure of it or not.
