Lorsque Julio et Tenoch, deux adolescents désœuvrés de conditions sociales différentes, rencontrent Luisa, une ravissante jeune femme espagnole, ils décident de lui faire visiter le Mexique en lemmenant vers une plage imaginaire quils surnomment la Bouche du paradis. Guidé essentiellement par ses désirs, ce trio amoureux verra rapidement les dessous troubles de sa liberté de façade se révéler au grand jour.
Grâce à une réalisation nerveuse et à des acteurs frais et envoûtants (Maribel Verdú, Diego Luna et Gael García Bernal, qui avait déjà soutenu lexcellent Amores Perros), ce Jules et Jim piquant et ambigu, parfois féroce, est une virée excessive où le passage à lâge adulte est envisagé comme un véritable rite initiatique, auquel amour et amitié ne peuvent réellement résister. Ce constat amer est tout de même tempéré par des scènes vives et fortes où éclatent toute linsouciance et la fougue de la jeunesse. Malgré une voix hors champ parfois mal intégrée et une fin quelque peu prévisible, Y tu mamá también reste une surprise cinématographique insolente et sensuelle. --Helen Faradji

Purile, obnoxious, boring.,

This review is from: Y tu Mamá También [Unrated] (Widescreen Subtitled) (DVD)
The actors may have been good -- but the characters are unpleasant, and their activities are, too. I turned away halfway thru. It isn't the sex, it's just obnoxious.

So what?,

This review is from: Y tu Mamá También [Unrated] (Widescreen Subtitled) (DVD)
This movie was a pointless waste of film stock. I had heard many great things about this movie, and expected to rent it and be faced with an intelligent, provocative portrait of humanity. I got soft-core Mexican porn with no story.Every character in this movie irritated me. Both the boys were immature, hypocritical and annoying. I hated them both. Also, that is not how seventeen year old boys act, no matter what their nationality. Luisa was a sad degenerate who was just as pathetic as anybody else in the film. Well, that's just my opinion. I didn't mind the sex, but after a while it got incredibly predictable, and very annoying. For a film, the sex was very natural, but it never added anything to develop characters or bring the story along. What bothered me most about this mess of a movie was the lack of plot. Nothing really happened. The film skips from sex scene to sex scene on a web of juvenile jokes and mindless exposition. These are occasionally mixed with totally pointless gross-out scenes, like when both boys "help themselves" on diving boards over a pool. Character developement? Not here. When a revelation finally comes, you already guessed it twenty minutes ago and you don't care. By far the best part of this movie was the narrator. The crystal-clear lucidity he brought to moments in the film was beautiful, especially in the end. His omniscient commentary almost makes the movie worth watching, but there just isn't enough of it. Before the narrator speaks, the sound cuts out abruptly, jarring the viewer out of the flow of the film. The first time it happened I thought there was something wrong with my DVD player. Overall, a very bad and over-hyped movie. Don't waste your time or money.

Vastly over-rated road movie,
By
This review is from: Y tu Mamá También [Unrated] (Widescreen Subtitled) (DVD)
This vastly overrated exercise in boredom starred some of the most boring and repulsive people I could ever imagine being in the same car with. You've seen much better on MTV's "Road Rules." Why the two young studs are attracted to the femme character is a mystery. She's loud, temperamental, manipulative and totally unattractive. For some reason, the big shock moment is when the two guys actually kiss each other. Wow. Big trauma. There's little plot, just grubby, bare-bones budgets and lots of traveling over the backroads of Mexico.
