CGiii Comment
The eponymous Kika is a vile, migraine-inducing character - Forqué's performance is akin to torture.
The plot is a fine example of catastrophic self-indulgence. Almodóvar has stretched the comedy so far that it snaps at the first hurdle - some things cannot be made funny - even if your name is Almodóvar.
A disappointing mess.

The(ir) Blurb...
Kika, a young cosmetologist, is called to the mansion of Nicolas, an American writer to make-up the corpse of his stepson, Ramon. Ramon, who is not dead, is revived by Kika's attentions and she then moves in with him. They might live happily ever after but first they have to cope with Kika's affair with Nicolas, the suspicious death of Ramon's mother and the intrusive gaze of tabloid-TV star and Ramon's ex-psychologist Andrea Scarface.
