DVD Reviews of Y Tu Mama Tambien
DVD Review: You must see the unrated version
Summary: 5 Stars
I will not try to add much to the other commenters who have already noted what a great film this is. I only want to suggest that everyone who watches this film sees the unrated version.
The rated 'R' version still includes lots of raunchy sex, but leaves out the most important 5 seconds in the entire film - a kiss between the two main male characters. This homoerotic tension coming out is just about the entire darn point of the film, and the rated 'R' version was compelled to leave it out. It is a sad commentary on the moral backwardness of our Hollywood rating system that 17-year olds are deemed fit to watch tons of hot, naked heterosexual sex but supposedly still aren't mature enough to see two men kissing on screen.
DVD Review: Editing has destroyed this great film
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the R rated version of this movie from Amazon after borrowing the film from my local Blockbuster in Australia. I loved the library copy enough to want to own a copy of my own - only to find that the American R certificate version had been so badly edited that the sense of the film had been lost. Yes, the original film is erotic and confronting; the American R certificate version leaves much of the nudity but deletes some crucial footage. For example, in the climactic scene at the beach once the long journey is over, the kiss between Julio and Tenoch ends up on the cutting room floor! Without this, the tension of the following scenes is inexplicable. Try to buy the original and enjoy the whole film. It's refreshingly different, sad and clever.DVD Review: Very Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
Very pleased with this order. Item arrived in new / good condition and the delivery was extremely prompt. I would absolutely purchase from this merchant again.
Very pleased, thank you.
DVD Review: Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
Y Tu is basically a teenage `road' picture by Alfonso Cuar?n, the director whose biggest previous film was the odd update of Great Expectations, with Gwyneth Paltrow, in the late 1990s. The film is about 2 Mexico City teens, Tenoch (Diego Luna) & Julio (Gael Bernal) who hook up with the cuckolded wife of Tenoch's cousin Jano, Luisa (Maribel Verd?). Basically, the 2 horny boys' girlfriends leave for Europe for the summer and after Luisa's husband confesses his infidelity she begs to go on a road trip with the boys, who are eager to take the 28 year old sexpot away to a mythic beach they have told her about.
The friends both end up screwing Luisa, then inflicting pain on each other by professing to have screwed each other's girlfriend. Luisa is about to leave them both when they promise they will do things her way. They stumble upon a beach, have some adventures, then get drunk one night with Luisa, are prepared to engage in a threesome, until Luisa simultaneously takes both of them in her mouth. This penile congress leads the two boys to a night of homosexuality without Luisa's presence. The next day one vomits over his debauchery, they leave Luisa at the beach, return to Mexico City, and part. 2 years later they meet at a caf? one last time, discuss the fact that Luisa died of cancer a month after their road trip, and never see each other again- Tenoch heading toward a life in the upper crust, while Julio goes off to community college.... I do get tired of critics who seem rapt by foreign films that mine the same material that Hollywood tripe does, with just as little success, yet somehow draw raves. Here's the only cogent piece of advice the film imparts, and its aimed only at the Tenoch-Julio demographic: Do not whack off too much or you will diminish your sexual continence. Thankfully I learnt that lesson before watching this film.
DVD Review: Great Movie!!! Gael and Diego are cute!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna are both great actors in my opinion. They are also both handsome, but in different ways. I liked Gael in Amores Perros and Motorcycle Diaries. And I liked Diego in The Terminal and Dirty Dancing 2. I really love this movie even though the ending is kinda sad. My favorite line in the movie is when Louisa tells the boys "You have to make the clitoris your best friend". I saw that in a magazine once as one of the sexiest movie lines of all time. The music is also very good. I'm thinking about buying the soundtrack. If you can't decide whether or not to get it, you should. It's a good, fun road trip movie. It's real. It's sexy. It's just a good movie. I love this movie so much that I lost my copy while moving and I just have to buy another one.
Description of Y Tu Mama Tambien
"Two thumbs way up" ("Ebert & Roeper and the Movies")! From world-renowned director Alfonso Cuar n (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Great Expectations) comes this "provocatively and unapologetically sexual" (Los Angeles Times) coming-of-age tale. Nominated* for an Oscar? and a Golden Globe? this sizzling box-office sensation is not only "raucously funny" (New York Post) but also "one of the most compellingly sexy movies ever made" (The San Diego Union-Tribune).Julio and Tenoch are two teens ruled by raging hormones and a mission to consume exotic substances. But one summer the boys learn more about life than they bargain for when they set off on a wild cross-country road trip with seductive 28-year-old Luisa. Both boys taste forbidden fruit as Luisa schools them in the finer points of passion but will their mutual desire for her destroy their friendship forever?Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?LATIN/DRAMA Rating:?NR UPC:?027616879677 Manufacturer No:?1003846Plenty of juicy "s" words apply to And Your Mother Too: sexy, sweet, subtle, sad, surprising, superb... and did we say sexy? With enough male and female nudity to qualify as softcore porn--but deserving none of the stigma attached to that label--this vibrant coming-of-age road movie is guaranteed to jumpstart any viewer's libido. Frank treatment of its characters' burgeoning sexuality makes this unrated film a real eye-opener, but it's never prurient or juvenile. Rather, the three-way odyssey of two 17-year-old Mexican boys (Gael Garc?a Bernal, Diego Luna) and a 28-year-old Spanish beauty (Maribel Verd?) is energetic and affirmative, while acknowledging that relationships--and sexual adventures--rarely develop without a hitch or two (or three). Filmed in sequence by Alfonso Cuar?n (Great Expectations), and shot with invigorating natural style, this refreshing comedy-drama employs an omniscient narrator to reflect upon precious stolen moments, weaving three lives into a memorable tapestry of fun, friendship, and fate. --Jeff Shannon
