It Might Be Mexican New Wave Cinema, But It's Still a Lame Movie

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: I'm underwhelmed. Don't like the characters. Don't like the low-budget look. Don't even like the sex...see it if you must.
Review: I usually know right away whether I love or hate a movie. Movies seldom "grow" on me. I knew within five minutes of Y Tu Mama Tambien that I was in for a ho-hum time.

While the movie certainly has a lot going for it, and it presents an...

It's not Porn if it Has Subtitles, Right?

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: 'It must be the heat.'
Review: Last night, Y Tu Mama Tambien was playing in my university's film series. I'd never seen the cinema so packed. Hundreds of students packed the theatre and dozens more queued outside. No doubt everyone had heard that this film features a lot of...

The green-eyed monster rises on a Mexican road trip

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: Exuberant film about two Mexican adolescents who think they are sophisticates.
Review: Why can't I just enjoy this exuberant, highly critically acclaimed film? I have no problem with nudity or a focus on sex (on the borders of intergenerational), and I think that the three leads are superb. The film is visually strong and well-edited...

Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN: And fo' yo mama too!

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: A good foreign film
Review: If there is one thing that I have noticed throughout movie history, it is the notion that foreign films just seem to be better films than American films in general. I am not saying all of them are better but that people generally walk out of foreign...

Alfonso Cuaron?s Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN-2001

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: This movie is no more ?sexy? than watching puppies humping. Cute maybe. Good performances and interesting although shallow story make it more than just another teenage hormone explosion.
Review: If you think sex is funny, and adolescent sex is funnier this is the movie for you! If you are , on the other hand, offended by watching the act of fornication, then best to leave this one on the shelf. If you are offended by teenage humping, you...

Alfonso Curaron's Story of Astral Cowboys, Beauty, & CAMPOS!!!!

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: Y Tu Mama Tambien is a brilliant, evocative masterpiece from Alfonso Cuaron who transcends all sorts of film genres into one lovely gem.
Review: Through the hordes of American and British films, whether they're big Hollywood production or indie-films, there's always a foreign film somewhere in the middle that can strike a chord with a wide audience. Many filmmakers in the past thirty years...

Where Teen Road Trip Movies Fear To Tread

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: A taboo-buster of the traditional teen sex comedy and road trip genre.
Review: I saw Y Tu Mama Tambien on a first date. I'm still not entirely sure if a cinematic explosion of teenage penis, sex, alcohol, teenage penis and sex is an appropriate first date movie.

Alfonso Cuaron (who incidentally is directing the next...

Looking for truth with the Astral Cowboys

Date of Review:  Jun 7, 2002
The Bottom Line: Despite good critical acclaim, I wasn't really expecting much. Which allowed me to enjoy the film even more. In hindsight, I've learned a valuable lesson: trust the critics!
Review: In his last film, the Ethan Hawke/Gwyneth Paltrow remake of "Great Expectations", I felt like director Alfonso Cuaron wasn't able to fully spread his wings and use all his talents. Hampered by the rigid structure of the book, Cuaron had to scratch...

More Than a Mere Teen Sex Romp

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: A sensuous coming-of-age film exploring the underpinnings of sexuality, with humor and excellent performances
Review: The big debate about Y Tu Mama Tambien, from director Alfonso Cuar n, seems to be whether it is or is not more than simply a titillating teen sex romp. Certainly this coming-of-age road film is sensual and sometimes downright lewd, but it is...

A Mexican Road Movie/Sex Romp: And Your Mother Too

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: Maybe if it were just a pure sex movie, it might have been better -- but it's too pretentious at times, and not convincing at others.
Review: There has been a well-publicized trend of explicit sex in a number of recent foreign films. Of course, the reason such a fact is well-publicized is because, well, everybody gets pretty fascinated by sex, especially of the explicit kind, and, for...
