Am I Missing Something?

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a hilarious as well as amusing Spanish comedy dealing with various love stories and actors , as concerning inside Actors Studio. The plot is lively and nice , it has its sympathetic moments here and there and is formed by some humor set-pieces that divide the action in diverse episodes , as protagonists perform classic plays such as Hamlet by Shakespeare , El Misantropo by Moliere , Don Juan by Zorrilla , Romeo and Julieta by Shakespeare ; while players are playing , their acting reflects on reality . Along the way there take place several love stories plenty of twists and turns until a weak and forced finale in which actors fight themselves . Comical as well as wild comedy is loaded with irony , slapdash , humor with tongue-in-cheek , jokes , rapid flashes , thrilling choreography , funny situations and with a distinctly Spanish sense of style . Fun comedy with touches of irreverence and full of entertainment , humor and sheer amusement . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with numerous naughty and picaresque situations such as sex jokes , threesome and adult scenes . This is a special Spanish comedy from the 2000s with the usual ingredients such as enjoyable humor topped with a little bit of original touches here and there , including brief drama , though the tone of the film is light-hearted . The pic is finely played by experienced actors as Verónica Forqué , Daniel Giménez Cacho , Candela Peña , Carmen Balagué , Jorge Sanz , Rosa Maria Sardà , Pedro Martínez , Carmen Machi, as young players such as Marta Etura , Nur Al Levi , Cecilia Freire and singer Dani Martín of ¨El Canto Del Loco¨. Atmspheric and adequate musical score by Juan Carlos Gomez . Evocativa as well as colorful cinematography by Jaume Peracaula , including some moments splitting screen . The yarn was well financed by two of the best Spanish producers , Gerardo Herrero and Eduardo Campoy . The picture was compellingly written by the same filmmaker and Cristina Rota , including some biographic elements , in fact , his character is magnificently played by Verónica Forque as a stiff director of a famous actors studio . Many known Spanish actor studied interpretation in her Actors School : Malena Alterio and Ernesto Alterio, Guillermo Toledo, Alberto San Juan, Nathalie Poza, Andrés Lima, Luis Bermejo, Penélope Cruz, Fernando Tejero, Roberto Álamo, her son Juan Diego Botto and daughter María Botto , and ,of course , most players of this flick . The motion picture was well directed directed by Joaquin Oristrell expert on filming comedies (Dieta Mediterranea , unconscious , Novios , ? De Que Rien Las Mujeres ¿) but most famous as writer (Love causes seriously damage your health , Off Key , Between your legs , Extasis). The flick will appeal to Spanish cinema fonds . Rating : Good but entertaining.

By coincidence two film DVDs arrived at the same time that were similar in topic, a comic look at college level schools that ostensibly prepare young people for a career in the arts. No Shame/Sin vergüenza, a 2001 Spanish production and Art School Confidential, a 2006 Hollywood product, both using the device of a jaded group of instructors, played off against the naive enthusiasm of aspiring students. While each film reflects the cultural differences of the two countries, there is a significant difference in depth.Art School Confidential has an impressive cast for the instructor generation, the likes of Angelica Huston, John Malcovich, and Jim Broadbent who all put in yeoman's duty to provide some gravitas, yet for the film as a whole, there is only one degree of separation from it's humor and a typical teen comedy, as students compete for top grade to win a private show are distracted by something every budding artist must contend with- a mystery strangler terrorizing the town and student body and an unscrupulous, married, undercover cop posing as a student who seems a shoe-in to win the competition and snag the female lead while he's at it.In contrast, No Shame's plot device is more straight forward, a previous lover of the head of the acting school is in town casting his new film. The school head invites him to watch the finale exam performances, which throws the acting class into disarray as many of the students hope to impress the director and score a part in his film. Verónica Forqué and Daniel Giménez Cacho do the heavy lifting for the instructor's generation and though a comedy in the Almodovar vein, the acting during the performance scenes and before are at a higher level all together than Art School Confidential, and the humor is generally more sophisticated.I won't say that Art School Confidential is plagiarism, but coming five years after, it simply lacks the creative vigor and zest of No Shame.

This is one of my favorite movies and one that I feel hits closest to the reality of an actor's life and struggles.The one thing I like the best about it is its honesty regarding what actors are really like. While the movie shows the sense of community that develops among young actors struggling to make it in the acting life, the filmmakers also do not hesitate to show how actors can can also be selfish, conniving and self-centered. It doesn't romanticize the hard life of an aspiring and as such, ultimately becomes a valentine to actors and the acting life. In fact, the movie is dedicated to the several thousand strong acting community in Madrid.But for those not really interested in the plight of aspiring actors, Sin Verguenza is also a charming and engaging romantic comedy. Veronica Forque is simply adorable as the head of the acting school and her awkward chemistry with co-star Daniel Gimenez Cacho is the source of much of the movie's humor.When I first saw this film I remember comparing it to Tootsie, which is my other favorite film spotlighting aspiring actors. But in hindsight, for all Dustin Hoffman's intention to make the movie a tribute to struggling young actors, Tootsie is primarily a romantic comedy with insights into gender roles and how they affect relationships. As far as paying tribute to actors goes, Sin Verguenza is the real thing.I have already seen this movie twice and I look forward to seeing it again in two weeks when it is screened at the Instituto Cervantes cultural institute here in Manila.

Sin Vergüenza is a charming, light-hearted farce centered on a famous film director's visit to an acting school to look for new talent, and the eruption of emotional chaos this creates among the school's students and staff. Jealousies, insecurities and egotism come boiling to the surface as everything surrounding the director's visit goes fabulously wrong, and then fabulously right, all while both poking fun at and glorifying "the artistic soul". The entire cast is wonderful, with special mention to Rosa María Sardà's hilarious turn as a drugged-out aging diva, a performance that won her the Goya award (the Spanish Oscar) for best supporting actress. Also Goya-nominated for its rollicking script, Sin Vergüenza (No Shame) is a complete delight. :)
