In Repply To Constanzo From Venezuela.......2005-11-03

The Sense of humor in this movie is stupid i stand for my position, Sorry Constanzo and about Cantinflas well.........I dont know how to say this, Charlie Chaplin stated once that Cantinflas were one of the greatest Comedians in the History, should i take your opinion or Chaplins opinion? wow! hard desition(ironic tone), and Chapulin colorado sketechs well, they have more than 25 years they were made and Argentina keeps enjoying them as well Colombia and even your Beautifull by the way Country.
Besides if you can recall the names of Cantinflas and Chapulin Colorado it must be for something , Cantinflas is famous worldwide because he acted too in Hollywood productions also Hanna-Barbera produced cartoon series whit his character, and Chapulin Colorado is adored in all latin America , i dont think you can say the same for any comedian from Spain or from Venezuela, comeon give me names.
One more thing, You dont fool anyone using terms such as "post Franco" i dont think youre intellectual

A musical twist for a nice light-spirited movie.......2005-07-12

The musical twist of this film makes it kind of surrealistic and funny. The movie reflects a light-spirited and delicate sense of humor typical of post-Franco Spain. Acting is good and you feel that actors are enjoying and living their parts. By the way, It is funny that the guy from Guadalajara (Mexico) criticizes spanish sense of humor. Mexico is perhaps the country I know with the worse and coarser sense of humor ever. Just remember the horrible Cantiflas movies and the pathetic Chapulin Colorado!!!

Friendship and betrayal, but all in a very light vein..........2005-03-15

Pedro (Guillermo Toledo) is heartbroken because Paula (Natalia Verbeke), his girlfriend, broke up with him. He tries to find comfort in his friends, Javier (Ernesto Alterio) and Sonia (Paz Vega). But wait a little... Isn't Javier the man that Paula left Pedro for?. That is merely the beginning of an entertaining story, that will make you laugh, and sometimes even think a little.

This film talks about friendship and betrayal, but all in a very light vein due to the fact that the people involved can't keep their lies straight. The fact that this movie includes a lot of musical scenes also helps to avoid the gloomy atmosphere that generally pervades in a movie with this kind of subject.

Regarding the actors, they are all quite good in their roles, but in my opinion the real star here was Natalia Verbeke as Paula, a young woman searching for love without being able to find it. I haven't seen many of her movies, but she really shines in this one. The script was also quite good, and there are moments when the spectator thinks he is taking part of a meeting between friends, where the nature of women and relationships is being discussed by men who don't really seem to know too much about either of those subjects. Don't expect enlightening remarks because you won't find them, but be ready to laugh a lot when a casual comment is just too bizarre to let it go without doing something.

On the whole, I think that this film is quite good and I give it 3.5 stars out of 5. It is entertaining, and funny at times, but it isn't the kind of movie you will want to see ten times in a row. All the same, I recommend it to you, because you will probably enjoy this movie a lot if you watch it just once.

"I'm hot all over.".......2005-03-04

When Paula (Natalia Verbeke) abruptly breaks up with long-time boyfriend Pedro (Guillermo Toledo), he's a mess, and he decides to seek solace from good friends Javier (Ernesto Alterio) and Sonia (Paz Vega). Pedro tries to puzzle out exactly why Paula left, and he can only conclude that there's another man ...

This energetic, funny, Spanish film tackles an old familiar subject--infidelity. All of the main characters are involved in relationships, and they are all unfaithful. Most of the infidelity requires the characters to go to great lengths in order to achieve deceit, and while you may ask yourself why they bother, the antics of the characters are laugh out loud funny. If the film "The Other Side of the Bed" is lacking in thematic originality, it makes up for this gap with original, strong humour.

The film includes scenes of amazing, almost painful, insights. In one scene, four of the male characters are in a bar downing beers, and they are discussing their favourite topic--women. Pedro is urged to find someone new, and another character reminds Pedro of all the beautiful available women. It's at this moment, that taxi driver, Rafa (Alberto San Juan) launches into a soliloquy about his success with women. This character's scenes are some of the funniest in the film. Also especially delightful is the character of the private detective who has unique theories on the deaths of Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe

I was initially reluctant to watch "The Other Side of the Bed" due to the fact that it is touted as a musical, and I am still traumatized by a childhood exposure to "The Sound of Music." Circumstances, however, brought the film my way, and I found it quite delightful. The musical numbers are subtle, and do NOT intrude at all into the story. The numbers are performed as a sort of postmodern ballet--I can only compare the style to Alvin Ailey ballet (but not as good). The film is in Spanish with English subtitles--displacedhuman

Excellent movie, unfortunately this version appears to be a VHS transfer because the damn English subtitles can not be turned off...
