Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Best movie of this year hands down!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Javier is a doctor that lives with her girlfriend, Maria. They have decided to go living to the US in order to have a better life. Maria travels before to make contacts and, the day that Javier is going to go (after selling his house, leaving his job...) she calls him to tell him that she has been with another man and needs to think what to do. Without job, girlfriend nor house, Javier fells in a great depression. He buys a little dog and results to be a Great Danish...When things cannot be worse, he meets Julia and love starts between them. Unluckily, a few days later, Maria call to tell him that she is going to return with him, which will push him into a very hard situation. The story, though complicated, seems interesting, but the result is quite bad. The movie tries to be a different romantic comedy with a very great drops of drama, and the problem is that the movie becomes nothing: it is not a comedy, it is not a drama and it is not a mix of both; the mixture is not well done. In addition, Diego Peretti (who plays the main character)has not a great day, his acting is not very convincing and the fact that the character is quite repulsive makes things worse. Moreover, the movie spends two hours to tell us a story that could be told in a hour and a half so it has a light lack of rhythm. On the other hand, the rest of the actors are not bad and the story is well built and logic. I've been a little disappointed with this film, because I expected something better. The plot is interesting, but the result could have been better.
(Quoting) -What are you gonna do tonight?, -I'm gonna chop off my balls, but maybe i'll leave for tomorrow. That's the best side of being alone, one can do things whenever he wants!This is just a taste of Javier's obscure sense of humour when his life takes a new direction, after his long-term relationship and brand new wife, tells him that she met someone else and wants to leave him.The film is a laugh from the beginning to the end, as the main character, (Diego Peretti) tries to reconstruct his life, and get over Maria (Soledad Villamil), with comfort from his best friend, Martin, and the help of a psychoanalyst,(Marcos Mundstock from Les Luthiers).Characters and situations as real, as life itself; sad, but taken care of, as big problems, also can have a funny side... and the tenderness of falling in love again.Do not expect a 'super-honey-sweet film', it's a love story, but it shows the bitter side as well.
It is not a comedy that resembles the reality, it is the hard and pure consequence of our personal growth, Cecilia and Juan have found enough elements for to season the history and to make us laugh with many desires, alone of seeing him the face to the psychologist and knowledge what can us to end up giving a Luthier, and at the same time that we laugh some we revive in meat and bone similar histories, where you don't leave but that our miserable state and very justified egocentricity for a you review "that don't deserve" eh. Well for the actors and the address
Yetserday I went to the movies to see this one and I have to admit it surprised me...I was expecting a very simple, nice but kind of embarrassing plot, with the same old Argentinian jokes and this was much more than that...Its about a newlywed couple that has some problems and the husband (really well played by Diego Peretti) gets into deep depression and struggles to move on. The very appearance of Cecilia Dopazo in the story announces that there'll be a love conflict, but in the end, everything turns out to be a happy ending (tough I'm still not saying which lady gets the stud)...There are very funny jokes not only in the dialog, that keeps realistic the whole time, but also some situations where you don't know whether to feel sorry for him or for the people around him To say its more of a comedy that a romantic film is enough If you're expecting too much it may fulfill your expectations, if you are not expecting too much it will surprise you in the best way Simple script, realistic but funny situations and characters you'll definitely remember weeks after watching this... "No sos vos, soy yo" is another Argentinian success
