Movie #255 ........................."Y tu Mama Tambien"

Movie #255 "Y Tu Mama Tambien" is a movie I have heard about and wanted to see for a long time. Now that I have seen it, I can say that it is a movie that is a bit over-rated, in my opinion. It is a little better than average road picture --- three people go on a trip and for a variety of reasons are all vulnerable ----- and they learn a lot about themselves, their sexuality (lots of nudity and sex scenes), and the meaning of true friendship. The acting is better than average, the filming is really good, the script makes it seem a slice of life, and there's a poignant ending. But as far as road pictures, it is just okay. I DID like that we got into the souls of these people, and I found them interesting, but at times I felt I was invading their privacy --- like i was put in the position of a voyeur of their exploration into their sexuality -----there seemed to be a bit too much of it for me, and I wanted the film to delve deeper into their psyche ---- but perhaps that would be another film. So, if you plan to see this one, please know there's quite a few sex scenes ---- and the language is raw, but it is a better than average road trip, and I'm glad I finally saw it.

Y Tu Mamá También(And Your Mama Too)
2001UR105 minutes
When rich teenagers Tenoch (Diego Luna) and Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) meet the alluring, older Luisa (Maribel Verdu) at a wedding, they try to impress her with stories of a road trip to a secret beach, and ultimately convince her to come with them. What follows in director Alfonso Cuaron's Oscar-nominated film -- one of the most talked-about pics of 2002 -- is an escapade involving seduction, conflict and the harsh realities of poverty.
