Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

ayante_hdc I don't get the need that some Spanish films have to show people having sex in any circumstances, people in a bathroom or things like that. I'm not a puritan at all and I'm not making a point about. I believe that this movie is not about fat people or not, it's about people with guiltiness and prejudices about their sexual life.Sometimes I have the conviction that some Spanish directors are in their preadolescence age so they take any subject and make in pass through the "sex filter" . They need to show people having sex because...I don't know.The movie itself it's OK, acting work it's just magnificent but I'm still believe that the title doesn't match what the director wanted to show. In fact I don't really know yet what the director wanted to show. I have the impression that he made a script which basically was "ok guys, let's show how different average people reacts in different circumstances and reflect that in they sexual life. We will use as an alibi fatness, but in fact it will be a movie about the sexual life of normal people".Forgettable.

irikawa-874-630096 It helps a lot if you master Spanish when you see this film, not only Spanish but a good amount of lingo from Madrid, as some of the comments, twists and jokes loose quite a bit during translation.You laugh, laugh and laugh but at no time you miss drama nor plot, the movie evolves well and, though the ending is not my favorite, wraps a great comedy.Seem no human emotion goes untouched by this movie, love, sex and relationships displayed constantly in a very smart fashion.Last, the amazing transformation of the characters, speechless.It is so refreshing to see smart, well presented movies, in an era where CG and FX dominate the American movie industry, some should go to Spain to take a class ( or two), but again, it seems the majority of American public is not ready for anything that goes beyond video game quality, pity.

mangafan 2009 was a really bad year for Spanish movies, till the very end of the year din't arrived any good title to our cinemas. Then suddenly arrived Rec 2, Agora, Celda 211... some great movies than saved the year. But between all that great movies was a very nice title than passed walking on tiptoes... not great promotions, not great supports from celebrities or TV channels... just a great idea, a great director, a nice script and a solvent actors.This movie is not only about some fat guys than try to get his nice weigh, is about humanity, about how everyone try to get his way, about how people can avoid the obstacles and look to the future. It is about everyone, every guy/girl takes a different perspective of the problems... and much more. But It is not everything, is a great comedy. Maybe you will not burst out laughing, but you will show a great smile all the time, and maybe some laugh. The very nice part of this movie is than don't mind how sad is a that moment, always show a happy face of everything.Is some more positive points in this movie, the dialog are realistic, fun and VERY intelligent. All the characters are perfectly defined, but maybe the gay guy fails cause his stranger relationship with his best friend wife. Every actor does a great work, no one looks like over-acted or trying to remember his dialog just like the most of the Spanish movie. Seem than Daniel Sánchez is really a very solvent director, and was not only lucky his Azul Oscuro Casi Negro the previous movie.I really want to recommended this movie for everyone than are looking for take a nice time with a intelligent movie.

Nicolás Lichtmaier This is a bad movie. It has some few funny things, you will smile sometimes. Not laugh, just smile. Other than that this movie feels too long. The characters are very plain, they were taken directly from the "drawing board", they doesn't feel like real persons.The performances are not bad, and because of that it's nice to see some of the characters in this movie, but the plot ends up ruining the movie.The only attraction here might be to see the weight changes the cast had had to make this movie. If the weight changes were real (and they seem so) it's a pity these people have risked their health for such a bad movie.
