VHS Movie Reviews of And Your Mother TooMovie Review: Editing has destroyed this great film Summary: 2 StarsI bought the R rated version of this movie from Amazon after borrowing the film from my local Blockbuster in Australia. I loved the library copy enough to want to own a copy of my own - only to find that the American R certificate version had been so badly edited that the sense of the film had been lost. Yes, the original film is erotic and confronting; the American R certificate version leaves much of the nudity but deletes some crucial footage. For example, in the climactic scene at the beach once the long journey is over, the kiss between Julio and Tenoch ends up on the cutting room floor! Without this, the tension of the following scenes is inexplicable. Try to buy the original and enjoy the whole film. It's refreshingly different, sad and clever.
Movie Review: Very Pleased Summary: 5 StarsVery pleased with this order. Item arrived in new / good condition and the delivery was extremely prompt. I would absolutely purchase from this merchant again.
Very pleased, thank you.
Movie Review: Bad Summary: 1 StarsY Tu is basically a teenage `road' picture by Alfonso Cuar?n, the director whose biggest previous film was the odd update of Great Expectations, with Gwyneth Paltrow, in the late 1990s. The film is about 2 Mexico City teens, Tenoch (Diego Luna) & Julio (Gael Bernal) who hook up with the cuckolded wife of Tenoch's cousin Jano, Luisa (Maribel Verd?). Basically, the 2 horny boys' girlfriends leave for Europe for the summer and after Luisa's husband confesses his infidelity she begs to go on a road trip with the boys, who are eager to take the 28 year old sexpot away to a mythic beach they have told her about.
The friends both end up screwing Luisa, then inflicting pain on each other by professing to have screwed each other's girlfriend. Luisa is about to leave them both when they promise they will do things her way. They stumble upon a beach, have some adventures, then get drunk one night with Luisa, are prepared to engage in a threesome, until Luisa simultaneously takes both of them in her mouth. This penile congress leads the two boys to a night of homosexuality without Luisa's presence. The next day one vomits over his debauchery, they leave Luisa at the beach, return to Mexico City, and part. 2 years later they meet at a caf? one last time, discuss the fact that Luisa died of cancer a month after their road trip, and never see each other again- Tenoch heading toward a life in the upper crust, while Julio goes off to community college.... I do get tired of critics who seem rapt by foreign films that mine the same material that Hollywood tripe does, with just as little success, yet somehow draw raves. Here's the only cogent piece of advice the film imparts, and its aimed only at the Tenoch-Julio demographic: Do not whack off too much or you will diminish your sexual continence. Thankfully I learnt that lesson before watching this film.
Movie Review: Great Movie!!! Gael and Diego are cute! Summary: 5 StarsGael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna are both great actors in my opinion. They are also both handsome, but in different ways. I liked Gael in Amores Perros and Motorcycle Diaries. And I liked Diego in The Terminal and Dirty Dancing 2. I really love this movie even though the ending is kinda sad. My favorite line in the movie is when Louisa tells the boys "You have to make the clitoris your best friend". I saw that in a magazine once as one of the sexiest movie lines of all time. The music is also very good. I'm thinking about buying the soundtrack. If you can't decide whether or not to get it, you should. It's a good, fun road trip movie. It's real. It's sexy. It's just a good movie. I love this movie so much that I lost my copy while moving and I just have to buy another one.
Movie Review: Breaking Rule #5 of the Manifesto Summary: 4 StarsY Tu Mama Tambien isn't really all that deep. However, it's a great movie because it displays that male-bonding and behavior transcends culture. An inside look at young males between 16 and 24 in Mexico is the same as young men in the USA. Fart jokes, going to parties, drugs, making smart-alec remarks, hitting on women, and an insatiable sexual apetite (satisfied through perpetual masturbation in this movie) dominate life. Although, the open homoeroticism doesn't seem to translate as well - which probably has more to do with Europe's relaxed sexual nature.
Tenoch and Julio are wild-living best friends who are intent on doing as much drugs and having as much sex as possible. During a summer in which their girlfriends travel abroad to Italy, they set out to add an impressive notch to their belt: an older woman, and a possible menage a tois.
They meet up with Luisa, the Spanish wife of Tenoch's yuppie cousin, and because of marital infidelity, Luisa is seeking a little revenge.
In no time at all, the three are talking about sex and the tension is building. Before long Tenoch sleeps with Luisa - less than a minute, if you're wondering - and the love triangle unfolds. Soon enough after that, Luisa and Julio get it on - also less than a minute - and the jealousy reigns supreme. It is because of this jealousy that each makes a startling confession: each one has had sex with the other's girlfriend. After that confession it gets a little wierder.
Great movie, crazy sexual tension, incredible character development...a movie I highly recommend.
Summary of And Your Mother TooPlenty of juicy "s" words apply to And Your Mother Too: sexy, sweet, subtle, sad, surprising, superb... and did we say sexy? With enough male and female nudity to qualify as softcore porn--but deserving none of the stigma attached to that label--this vibrant coming-of-age road movie is guaranteed to jumpstart any viewer's libido. Frank treatment of its characters' burgeoning sexuality makes this unrated film a real eye-opener, but it's never prurient or juvenile. Rather, the three-way odyssey of two 17-year-old Mexican boys (Gael Garc?a Bernal, Diego Luna) and a 28-year-old Spanish beauty (Maribel Verd?) is energetic and affirmative, while acknowledging that relationships--and sexual adventures--rarely develop without a hitch or two (or three). Filmed in sequence by Alfonso Cuar?n (Great Expectations), and shot with invigorating natural style, this refreshing comedy-drama employs an omniscient narrator to reflect upon precious stolen moments, weaving three lives into a memorable tapestry of fun, friendship, and fate. --Jeff Shannon
