Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron's hilarious, elegant, and razor-sharp social comedy was made before the international success of Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, but it's no less sophisticated than that instant classic. This delightful, frank look at sex and manners among Mexico's middle class follows a suave Casanova named Tomas Tomas (Daniel Gimenez Cacho), who seduces one gorgeous woman after another, never allowing himself to become entangled with any of them--until one rejected nurse turns the tables on him. Also included here are several fascinating shorts by Alfonso and Carlos Cuaron and a revealing making-of documentary. [More]

It is hard to fathom how such a talented artist could come up with such a painfully unfunny comedy.

Cuaron demonstrates his capacity as a director. The camera work is impressive, his sense of humor sharp, and the characters are well defined.

Sets a tone for Cuaron's later work, including a warm, sensual use of colors and space.

Getting past the sheer unlikeability of the main character proves to be the film's most difficult point.

First released in 1991, Alfonso Cuaron's Solo Con Tu Pareja (Only With Your Partner) is a manic puff of nonsense that plays off the AIDS panic of the preceding decade.

Solo Con Tu Pareja is not as mature as Y Tu Mama Tambien, but it is consistently funny.

Cuaron, who cowrote the screenplay with his brother, Carlos, cited Ernst Lubitsch and Woody Allen as influences, but the shadow of Pedro Almodovar's frantic early comedies hangs heavily over the film's farcical complications.

Like Y Tu Mamá También, Alfonso Cuaróns first feature, made 15 years ago, is a rambunctious sex comedy shadowed by mortality.

Pushing the dull Cacho as a chick magnet capable of opening any pair of legs suggests that Cuarón's respect for women has gained serious ground since he was 29.

The film is like a champagne bottle's ricocheting cork: an explosion of poppy camera maneuvers, literary allusions, chatty reiterations, raunchy sex, and spastic flights of fantasy rich in cultural flavor.
