Mexican-born, New York-based filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón directed this Mexican box-office smash hit about a pair of randy upper-class buddies that sparked some controversy for its frank depiction of drug use and sexual exploration. With their respective girlfriends away in Europe, Julio (Gael García Bernal) and his upper-class friend Tenoch (Diego Luna) are looking forward to a summer full of drink, drugs, and cheap meaningless sex. During a wedding, they meet Luisa (Maribel Verdú) -- the

The funniest and most emotionally charged erotic road movie since Bertrand Blier's Going Places.
Marvelous, merry and, yes, melancholy film.
A giddy and provocative sexual romp that has something to say.
Raunchy, smart, ebullient, melancholy, insightful, surprising, funny, frank and sexy as all get-out.
Part travelogue, part road picture, part meditation on class, mortality and intimacy, this extraordinary little movie might be the perfect harbinger of summer, as astute as it is steamy.
The best road trip movie ever made.
Not for nothing does a "Harold and Maude" poster turn up. Like Hal Ashby's cult classic, Alfonso Cuarón's film offers, to borrow Spanish-language sass, a chingale to horny-teen genre expectations as a story of sex and separation.
Offers a shot of wise, freshly etched character comedy in a time when it's desperately needed.
... an aggressively political movie, a heartbroken testament about a generation without role models or devoted fathers.
To everyone who bent over backwards to praise Y Tu Mama as raunchy, spicy, sexy, or hot, here's a novel idea -- skip this mild stuff and rent some honest-to-God porn.
The allegorical name of the beach (Mouth of Heaven) is one of several obvious sexual innuendoes of the film but in the fantasy of world Cuaron, they all seem ordinary and predictable.
Os diálogos são interessantes, as atuações são excelentes, a direção é correta e a narração é envolvente. Apesar disso, o 'relacionamento' homossexual entre os garotos soa de forma forçada.
One movie you really should see before you pack a bag or get behind the wheel.
Sexy, beautiful, hysterical, mesmerizing - one of the finest pieces of film I've seen in a while. You need to see it, and your Mama too.
The story is set in real world Mexico, not a cleaned-up movie world simulacrum.
Even though Gael Garcia Bernal is a favorite actor of mine, I don't share the enthusiasm this movie was received with. Most of all, this is about a couple of teenagers who act like two complete brats throughout, and who think about nothing else but sex, booze, drugs, and to have a good time at any cost. Not really my

I've rarely seen other movies that depict characters and lifestyles as real as this. They didn't go through any extra effort to depict Mexico as a place of criminal or as nature's paradise, which is done much too often.
