Y Tu Mamá También Reviews

fresh and alive

Full Review | Original Score: B

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4

Offers a shot of wise, freshly etched character comedy in a time when it's desperately needed.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

... an aggressively political movie, a heartbroken testament about a generation without role models or devoted fathers.

| Original Score: B

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.

| Original Score: 4/5

One movie you really should see before you pack a bag or get behind the wheel.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5

The story is set in real world Mexico, not a cleaned-up movie world simulacrum.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

The funniest and most emotionally charged erotic road movie since Bertrand Blier's Going Places.

Full Review

A fantastically vital movie that manages to invest real humor, sensuality, and sympathy into a story about two adolescent boys.

Full Review | Original Score: A-

It starts out like one of those brainless teen sex road comedies that make me want to puke, but, thank God, it has a lot more to it than that.

Full Review | Original Score: B

Would that we all could 'breathe life' the way this film does.

Full Review | Original Score: A+

A sexy, funny, sad, uplifting, and, most importantly, human film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

Marvelous, merry and, yes, melancholy film.

Full Review | Original Score: A-

This is simply a stunning film.

Full Review | Original Score: A+

Oft-described as the antidote to American Pie-type sex comedies, it actually has a bundle in common with them, as the film diffuses every opportunity for a breakthrough

Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

...a lighthearted, risqué romp with dramatic overtones...and an uncompromising view of youth and youthful vitality.
