Summary

Bittersweet Mexican road-movie comedy starring Maribel Verdú, Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna. With their girlfriends in Europe for the summer, best friends Julio and Tenoch plan a hedonistic trip to the Oaxacan coast, inviting unhappily married older woman Luisa to join them - and hopefully share their beds.

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Andrew Collins

This comic road movie became the biggest home-grown box-office hit in Mexican history and it's tempting to see it as a mere foreign-language version of American Pie or Road Trip. But there's more to director Alfonso Cuarón's film than sex (which, far from titillating, is shown in all its greedy, awkward teenage haste) as two high-school graduates (played by Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal) borrow a car and head off for the mythical "Heaven's Mouth" beach with unhappily married older woman Luisa (Maribel Verdú). Throughout the journey, Cuarón highlights the economic rift between Mexico's middle classes and poor with comments by a deadpan narrator. It may not be in the same league as Amores Perros (which also starred superstar-in-waiting García Bernal), but it did lead to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for Cuarón.
