Surprisingly incoherent and boring
As Good As It Gets
Admirable film.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Reinas / Queens / or "Schwule Mütter ohne Nerven" as the German titles was - is a amazing funny movie about the first official Spanish gay marriage.Not the tree different gay couples playing the main part - no, its the story about their mothers played by the grand dames of the Spanish cinema.Its a romantic comedy, wonderful filmed. Some events say: 4 hours before. So we see again a event a second time but from another angle. The movie / story is like a small puzzle and come's on the end to a whole thing (the marriage). I would say it's interesting made.Yes, its funny, a lot humor, but the acting is never overacted! Very good I found was Unax Ugalde (the blond haired guy) who's really talented actor.
SOME SPOILERS:I thoroughly enjoyed this film. A stylishly shot, fashionable and well directed film, it was also a fine commentary on contemporary Spain, covering many issues that have arisen in that country. All that, however, was incidental to the main storyline which concerned the mothers (and fathers)of six sons who really did not want their sons to marry another man, despite their pretensions to the contrary. The women stole the film obviously, particularly the one with the sexual addiction and the lady from Argentina who has brought her Old English Sheepdog to the wedding of the six sons.(sorry, I can't remember their names off-hand) The story is complex but easy to follow, the guys were a delight to watch and the characters warm and believable. The passion of modern Spain is still there and the acceptance of modern life commendable. Well worth watching.
I loved this movie.The production values, acting, and directing are all first-rate. Unlike too many gay-themed movies, this was clearly expertly made.The pace is fast and the mood light. The humor is absolutely hilarious. I don't think I stopped smiling, and there were a few times I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my seat. It was an absolute riot.This is a great movie for gay and straight audiences alike. It's an even better film for families to see. The movie is all about guys getting married and their crazy (but believable) mothers. No matter what your mom was like, one of these mothers will probably remind you of yours. There's just so much great family humor that everyone would anyone would enjoy.Highly recommended.
I saw this movie in Spain last month and think it is one of the more clever gay themed films I have seen in a while. Contrasting it with most of the U.S. gay films, it lacked the superfluous drug and sex clichés that those filmmakers seem to the think the gay audience demands. It didn't fall prey to the trite and camp that makes the genre so formulaic in this country, and will probably plague the English "remake" should there be one. More impressive, though, was that I think I was one of 6 gay people in an audience of about 100..this in a country that less than 40 years ago was suffocating under Franco's regime of control and censorship. Here is hoping one day that happens here!
