Synopsis: Ted, a stiffnecked American sales representative living in post-Franco Barcelona, has grown accustomed to his conservative lifestyle. But his daily routine -- including a recent vow not to date... Ted, a stiffnecked American sales representative living in post-Franco Barcelona, has grown accustomed to his conservative lifestyle. But his daily routine -- including a recent vow not to date attractive women -- is turned upside-down when his more sociable cousin Fred, a Navy lieutenant, moves in with him and refuses to leave. But rising political tensions and anti-American sentiment force these bickering boys to bond. So Fred and Ted, obsessed with women, make the best of adverse circumstances and agree to participate in the city's disco driven night-life. Maybe somewhere along the way, Fred can help his bible-quoting cousin let go of puritanical inhibitions. [More]

Darker and more acidic than Stillman's previous outing, this comedy, about two Americans at the end of the Cold War, could be described as Metropolitan meets Where the Boys Are meets The Year of Living Dangerously. Full Review |

A very funny cross-cultural film about some idiosyncratic people who talk about what's on their minds. Full Review |
