Nonureva Really Surprised!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Jay Harris Yes the the star of this movie is one of Spains leading TV & film actresses.Her performance has won a few festival awards as best actress in 1997.I doubt this film had any major release in the USA.It should have.Its is a rare gay themed comedy that is free of the usual clichés we find in films of this sort, made in the USA.Miss Leon is a teacher & her best friend is a lawyer who just happens to be gay. They have mostly gay friends BUT they to do not fit the typical stereotypes.Yes there are some bitchy lines but lines like that are in many modern comedies.This delight was written and directed by Yolanda Garcia Serrono & Juan Luis Iborra.Only quibbles I have is that the running time of 88 minutes seems a bit draggy in spots & occasionally the subtitles are a bit hard to read..All in all this is a far better gay themed film than what has been released by US film makers.Ratings *** (out of 4) 86 points (out of 100) IMDb 8 (out of 10)

ccmiller1492 Kudos to everyone involved in this production. Spain's "amor de hombre" is depicted with great wit, style, humor and compassion. As usual, Andrea Occhipinti as the fickle lawyer Ramon stands out. Loles Leon as the ever hopeful, helpful and aptly named Esperanza is his perfect foil. Throughout the course of the film it becomes evident that even with a basic sexual incompatibility these two people genuinely care for each other so much that it is unlikely that each would ever find a better mate. The sequences where each tries to fix the other up with a lover are hilarious and touching. Even the most minor characters are well drawn including the lowlife Roberto who is such a disappointment to Ramon.

druben2 I'll come right to the point: this movie endorses a relationship where a woman is at the beck and call of a histrionic drama queen of a gay man. She has no life and is always available to take care of the poor man who sleeps with lots of guys but falls in love with one that does him wrong. Neither of the characters develop or grow despite the illusion of a "sensitive loving friendship." Its not. Feminists will be furious with this characterization of the all giving "fag-hag" and the narcissistic and selfish gad-about gay man who takes advantage of her. Is this the way Spanish women are still brought up in Spain to pander to man's every whim? I thought this movie was going to expose how sick this relationship was but instead it created a illusory romantic happy ending, so I can't help but think the filmmaker was sentimentalizing and endorsing it. Not a good message for this day and age.

danco-2 This film shows the rainbow of relationships among gay men. It ranges from the long-term to the hustler looking for a partner to take financial advantage of. But most important, it portrays the yearning of most gay men to find a lifelong partner and to simply be loved.
