Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Juan R I had been wanting to see this movie for the longest time, but it was not available where I live. So, I had to order this online, and I could hardly wait to see it when I got it. Believe me, this movie is worth every penny I paid for it.This movie is about four people that went to the same school and are about to turn 30 years old. So, they are all going through nostalgic moments at this point. They're asking themselves whether they have fulfilled their life goals or not.All the acting was great, the characters really grow on you as the story develops. There are moments where you laugh hysterically, and there are those moments that make you feel sad for them.This movie is a comedy-drama that reminded me a lot of American Beauty. The score is beautiful, and the movie came with the sound-track, so this movie will be one of my favorites in my collection. Mexico has come up with some awesome movies lately. I expect great things for Issa López (the director),as well as all the actors: Marina DE Tavira, Alejandra Gollas, Arturo Barba and Pedro Izquierdo.I would highly recommend this movie to anyone!

adivinando It is very difficult to understand why such a bad script got greenlighted. I guess this film is intended to be a "coming of age" comedy. Well, it is not. The characters are almost nameless. A recovering alcoholic-drug addict arquitect in his 30's is bests friends with a jobless woman who complains all the time about being dumped by a guy who once saved her life because he loved her (though later he confesses he did not); an aspiring actress who always fails at her cast appearances because she always has accidents because of the same reason (the architect's manners) and always ends up performing as a bee in a kid's show but... guess what... at the end, she decides to be a flight attendant and her mom gets her an interview with an airline executive who is willing to under-see her small size and her age... but guess what again... just as she was being admitted as a flight attendant, the police bursts in and arrests her for being a drug dealer, because she had a friend in her bee-entertaining-activities that put an heroin dosis in her room to ease her pains... but guess what again... the architect is a womanizer but deep inside he is just a tender guy waiting for his long time love to finally accept him... and guess again... the first gut, the one who saves the heroin, had a girlfriend who was smashed by the same car that smashes his new found love, at the same street, with the same car... really!!! I'm not kiddin'!!! And that's it. All of the above became into a boring, tedious, senseless motion picture.The worst part: this thing made it's way to the theaters. And was co-produced by Warner bros. The first time a US major studio invests in a local production.

rebelgirl_star Efectos Secundarios is the best movie I have seen ever, I have to say that I really admire the cast and the director -Issa López-, all the team to create this movie is wonderful. This film is a renovation, nothing is similar to this project, this is a chance to show great actors, the talent of new directors, the success of a really good work, what's behind all this work? And the results… an awesome movie! At my age, I am proud of the Mexican Cinema, and with the work of Issa López and all this great cast I think we can search for better opportunities for Mexico in the world.If we go like this Mexico can go to the Oscars.I have no words to explain how much this movie taught me, I consider myself as a huge admirer.

imdb-professional After seeing Efectos Secundarios, I realize that Issa Lopez is genuinely a well-read, versatile, sharp director and is ready to make her mark as a pioneer of Mexican and hopefully American cinema. Where will all this talent lead her next? It's nice to see a film that pulls from many different philosophies, while having a commercial, yet universal sensibility as well as one native to the environment of Mexico City. Another thing that this film has is an eclectic music score, and an exceptionally modern look for being produced entirely in Mexico. The audience I saw this film with was on the floor in laughter most of the time. A definite recommend.
