Admirable film.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

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.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Two high school boys Tenoch and Julio graduate and making plans for the summer of girls and drugs. Their girlfriends left Mexico to go to college , so the boys are single and ready to mingle. At Tenoch's dad banquet they encounter the lovely Luisa and the three make plans to see Heaven's Mouth , a beach that doesn't exist . After Luisa learns of her boyfriends affairs she decides to take the boys up on their offer and embark on an adventure across Mexico .Along the way the three bond with traveling stories about their love lives and manifestos. As they travel through local villas they bond with strangers and witness strange happenings. Things get spicy after Luisa has sex with Tenoch , and Julio and Tenoch share secrets about each other and their respective partners out of anger. The two manage to squash the beef for the sake of seeing the beach together with Luisa .When they make it to the beach the befriend the fisherman family of the sea. With good food and fun times tensions have lifted and the three share one last night together before they take their leave. They dance and drink the night away, solidifying their bond as "milk brothers" after capping the night off with a three-way...Alfonso Cuarón was a wild man for this one , penis shots riddled throughout the movie . It was bold, magical, and beautiful , only a story told through Mexico eyes

From the second half of this otherwise elegant film the viewer realizes that the reason the young lady is sad & depressed is because she is terminally ill. Obviously she is decided to spend her last carefree vacation before she dies. The script would be fine only if cancer WAS NOT a contagious disease. Cancer has a virus-like etiology (HPV16, 18, rotavirus...etc.)and is in fact a contagious disease. Obviously the script-writer is not aware of this scientific fact. Thus the young lady from a romantic character becomes a villain. She knows very well that she is infected with cancer but nevertheless she has sex with two yang boys - thus infected them as well. It is a terrible crime, not a careless adventure. In such way the movie from romantic masterpiece becomes a tasteless thriller.

"Y Tu Mamá También" is a drama that has a real insight on teenage sexuality and surprisingly enough this actually generates a lot of laughs between the more touching portions of the film. I'm also going to admit that I find the plot pretty erotic so that's a big plus. It's a coming-of-age story about two teenage boys. Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Tenoch (Diego Luna) are, as most teenage boys are, focused on sex pretty much all of the time. They joke about stealing each other's girlfriends, seducing each other's mothers, romancing older ladies, that sort of thing. They jokingly strike up a conversation with Luisa (Maribel Verdu) and try to entice her into taking a trip with them to a beautiful beach where they can all frolic in the sand and sun. Despite the fact that she's in her late twenties, she decides to take them up on their offer and the three of them go on a road trip.One of the strongest characteristics about this Mexican film is that it genuinely feels like a true story. The sort of story that's too crazy not to be true. The characters and events don't feel manufactured or phony in any way and this allows you to really relate to the characters to the point where you may not have much in common or have experienced any of the events that they have, but you'll feel like you have a connection with them because you've all taken this trip together. The performances are all very good and when the film becomes erotic, it's very sexy. There are a lot of comedic moments but they're mostly there to make the bitter-sweet tale more digestible. This isn't some sex-comedy about a bunch of teens that need to lose their virginity by the end of the summer. The ending will probably leave you sad, but that's because you let yourself get so emotionally invested in the plot and characters that you didn't want their story to end. I've seen it multiple times and I'm not sure I understand all of the subtext that has to do with Mexican politics, but that's what special features are for, so I encourage you to track down some essays that will clear up the details, or watch it with someone that's smarter than me and knows what all of those little moments are all about. One last thing. While I love this movie and encourage you to check it out, even the R-Rated version isn't suitable for teens and certainly not kids. With that said, I strongly recommend " Y Tu Mamá También". I might bust this one out next time I have a date and she wants to see a movie… (R-Rated version on DVD, November 15, 2012)

The way Alfonso Cuaron shifts from a Children's novel adaptation (A Little Princess) to a classic novel adaptation (Great Expectations) to an adult road-trip movie is really fascinating. 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' is one of my favourite road-trip movies, but to call it just a road-trip movie would really be an understatement; not only is it a thrilling journey of sexual exploration, but also a nuanced exploration of some of the most pressing socio-economic issues of our time. The narrator gives us interesting character histories, and intriguing but haunting societal insights which make the story quite gripping, and makes Mexico a character as well. Other than that, as critic Roger Ebert says, 'it (the movie) is about the fragility of life and the finality of death.' And the film is funny as hell; its humour is quite well-placed. It takes the genre of teen sex-comedy to completely new heights.Class-division really plays an important role in establishing relationships; even in the best of friendships, there's always a deep-seated impact it has. No matter how close we are to someone, we always keep a few things secret. A free-spirited road-trip cum sexual adventure boils down to a night where true feelings and pinions come out in the open; things are never the same after that.The three lead actors, Gael Garcia Bernal, Maribel Verdu and Diego Luna, are really talented, and given riveting performances. Other than the three characters and Mexico, we invisibly become a part of their journey and their lives. The cinematography is spectacular, and captures Mexico with such elegance. The one-shot scene towards the end, in the bar, which starts with conversation and ends with a dance, is quite a remarkable sequence. The passionate kiss which comes after this scene is sensual and memorable.The film is quite observant, doesn't compromise anywhere with its storytelling, and doesn't take any moralistic stance on any aspect; that's what makes the film so gripping and compelling.
