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.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This film tells the story of a man meeting another man in the gym, and they befriend each other. It actually is not a chance meeting, but a carefully planned meeting in order to break up the new relationship of his ex-girlfriend.I have to say that the subplot of trying to destroy the ex-girlfriend's relationship is not very obvious to me. All I see is a gay man who seduces a straight man, and to various degrees of success at different time points. The pace is slow and there are many stationary shots which prolongs the film unnecessarily. I can't say I liked the film too much, but I did find it cute that the gay guy has to test the water and come up with different excuses to make a move on the straight guy.
An excellent film with truly superb acting. The title, "Plan B" and the description of the film as a comedy might lead one to believe it would be something of a sitcom with humorous misunderstandings and double entendres and maybe a little slapstick. It is, however, a wonderful exploration of love, sexuality, desire and the mental turmoil they can cause but without the all too typical noisy histrionics and with none of the in-your-face dramatics.Quite often the camera stays on Pablo and Bruno for long periods, individually or together or with Laura, with little or no dialogue or action, but the confusion and emotional conflict they are experiencing and attempting to resolve is palpable. The actors playing Pablo and Bruno do a fantastic job of conveying the bonding between them over time, the heavy emotional impact as the brotherly love they have for each other develops to a level that neither of them can understand and as they struggle to find a way to express their love.If you like action & fast-paced plot development, this is not the film for you. It won't wow you with lavish sets or snappy dialogue. It is however the best movie I have ever seen exploring the confusion and conflict that surround a developing, difficult personal relationship, regardless of the gender of the two principal characters.
The story is implausible but done so well you can't help but like it. It is too much like a gay fantasy not impossible but very unlikely.There is a lot of good acting. I have to say though I much preferred the actor doing Pablo. The one doing Bruno looked too much like a Smart Alec-- I kept thinking this is a straight guy who just can't get into the role. This movie couldn't have cost much to make but it is very entertaining.If you speak Spanish the Buenos Aires porteño accent is a little hard to follow fortunately there are subtitles.Uplifting movie over all especially for gays.
A fine motion picture about male friendship taken to the physical plane and turned into a homoerotic relationship. Certainly the undercurrent was there (as seen in the last reel), moving the characters together rather unconsciously, but the liaison had not been expressly planned. In my opinion, the script has a few shortcomings, starting with the initial proposition: a young man who cannot win back his ex girlfriend, decides to seduce the guy she is having an affair with. That is the "excuse" to develop the story of how two normal guys find out they love each other, first just as candidly as two 12-year-old kids would love each other, and then making it grow as adults, just as plain lovers. I had my doubts about watching it, but after it was finished I was more pleased than hypercritical. My problem with most films with homosexual stories is that I believe they hardly get close to what the "real thing" is: many are advertising campaigns for the unwary; others, plain pornography, and far too many, soap operas with stories that probably would get better after The End, and so on. "Plan B" goes beyond these stereotyped formulas, and tries something different for a change. Nicely acted by the two lead players, with a cast of (apparently) non-professional actors that makes things more believable. Give it a try, no matter what your sexual orientation is.
