Top CriticSlightly better than some recent skin-deep gay- and lesbian-themed movies.

Shows that Mr. De la Iglesia's long absence hasn't dulled his sense of stylish, cinematic storytelling.

Top CriticA witty, unsentimental class comedy.

Top CriticFull of charm, entertaining enough as it unfolds, good looking, but not especially memorable in retrospect.
