CGiii Comment

Despite appearances by Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem...this is an excursion into overly familiar territory - courtesy of more Almodovar clones.

The directors obviously went for un-naturalism - every scene is slovenly staged, the acting is critically over-the-top...the story is a convoluted mess.

Drag queens alone do not make a comedy - comedies usually have funny bits...this doesn't!
