CGiii Comment

Dreary titles and music do not make for a good beginning.

The main problem with this film is the comedy, no correction, farce - it's just not funny. Without it, there is a credible story.

But, instead we get (yet another) cheap, clumsy Almodovar clone - the neurotic over-bearing woman has been done to death in Spanish films.

The homophobic rhetoric is constant - and offensive.

Velilla manages to make the whole thing look and feel like a soap opera - lurching from the farcical to the serious - with as much success as a inflatable anchor.

Over-done, over-played, badly written and cheaply directed.

Nothing special.
