Watch I'm So Excited! For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

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.

I loved the different characters. There is nothing really spectacular about the film but it was nevertheless very enjoyable.

A plane has problems with the landing gear and so it is circling around waiting for a landing path. And while waiting for the landing the crew and the passengers do and tell a lot.I read the movie is also supposed to be a farce of Spanish politics. Since I know absolutely nothing about Spanish politics I have missed it all. Maybe if I was familiar I would have liked the movie even more.But it was still entertaining. My favorites of the movie are the flamboyant flight attendance. They have a great comedic presence and timing. I think one of my favorite parts of the movie is when they perform "I'm so excited" for the passengers.At the same time it didn't bring as much humor with the passengers. They were all outrageous characters but it didn't go too far and we didn't get to connect too much with them. Of course this is a farce comedy and one shouldn't expect too much depth but I feel a little more could have been done.Still it is a pretty entertaining and unique comedy. I would recommend it for people who aren't too offended by sexual humor and enjoy some lighthearted comedy.

There was a time when Pedro Almodovar made films worth watching - this isn't one of them ! It doesn't work on any level - not as a drama, not as a comedy and not even as the farce as which it had been clearly intended. It is just a very sorry mishmash of meaningless scenes inflated with an inordinate amount of, quite idiotic, talk about sex.Can I say anything good abut this film at all? Well, visually, as with all Almodovar films, it looks excellent, a great sense of colour in the way of cheap fairground sweets, and gorgeously stylised sets. And yes, the musical "I'm so excited" performance by the flight attendants is good fun (if not entirely original). But that is simply not enough to make a film worth watching. I came away feeling extremely disappointed, really just like I used to feel as a child after the ingestion of tempting-looking candyfloss on the fairground - a brief sugar hit, but one that leaves you feeling hollow and hungry. What a waste !

In recent years, acclaimed director Pedro Almodovar has turned his considerable skill and craft to fashioning magic out of melodrama; I'm So Excited! represents his return to the high camp and silliness of his earlier comedic output. Unfortunately, the final result is a mixed bag: it features moments so crazy that they approach the sublime, but there are also bits that are awkward and just don't work, however committed Almodovar and his cast - drawn from all stages of the director's fabled career - are to the concept. On a flight bound for Mexico, we meet the kooky cast of characters that make up Almodovar's boozy, drug-addled universe: a trio of flamboyant gay flight stewards - Joserra (Javier Cámara), Fajas (Carlos Areces) and Ulloa (Raúl Arévalo) - serve and imbibe alcohol in equal measure. All seems well as they entertain the first-class passengers and bait the co- captains, Alex (Antonio de la Torre) and Benito (Hugo Silva). But, when part of the aircraft's landing gear is damaged, the looming sceptre of death prompts passengers and crew alike to shed their inhibitions and secrets.In Spain, critics have lauded the film as a timely metaphor for the country, which is still struggling to get out from beneath a staggering weight of financial troubles. True enough, there's a hint of depth tucked within the raunchy jokes and alcohol fumes: Mr. Mas (José Luis Torrijo) is a crooked businessman who must decide between family and freedom, and his fellow first-class passengers include the haughty, demanding Norma (Cecilia Roth) and playboy actor Ricardo (Guillermo Toledo). Meanwhile, the entire economy section of the plane - read: the ordinary folk - has been taken out by the ridiculous shenanigans of the people in charge. But the metaphor remains too thin and fleeting to make much of an impact. Instead, I'm So Excited! busies itself with out-sized capers, best encapsulated in the hilarious song-and-dance routine that gives the film its English title: Joserra, Fajas and Ulloa's colourful attempt to lighten the mood, set to the three-part harmony of the Pointer Sisters.That high point aside, however, it's hard to tell whether to be amused or offended by the hijinks that take place onboard. After the three stewards cook up a heady concoction that plunges the entire first-class cabin into a brew of hormones and horniness, it's great fun to watch uptight family man Alex navigate his complicated relationship with the unfailingly honest Joserra. But self-professed psychic Bruna's adventure in the economy-class cabin might strike many as Almodovar taking it one risqué step too far.With this mile-high cocktail of sex and comedy, Almodovar clearly set out to shock as much as to entertain. He mixes edgy characters with outlandish situations, sometimes to wonderful effect. But, as the film unfolds, the cheerful, campy farce of it all slowly deflates, and it becomes clearer that his quirks and comedy have come chiefly at the expense of character and connection.
