Supelice Dreadfully Boring
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
smatysia I thought that this was a decent sex comedy. I thought that Chile was a fairly conservative society, and though I obviously cannot make judgments based on a movie, it really seemed little different from the U. S. The photography of the unnamed Chilean city was fine. The plot was interesting, although it seemed awfully casual about the semi-incestuous encounter. It is hard to gauge an actor's performance when it is in a language not known to me, where I have to get the dialog from subtitles. But no one came across as bad, and I had to take note of Sigrid Alegria, who is stunning, playing the part of the young schoolteacher incongruously in love with the much older, toad-like parent of one of her students.
dromasca It looks to me that the most astonishing thing about this film is that it comes from an area that is dominated by soap operas on the easy side and social dramas on the heavy side of the genres spectrum, but has given very few daring comedies. This is the context where 'Sexo con amor' may look like an innovative thing, but taken out of this context and thrown in a market where 'Sex in the City' is the-day-before-yesterday prime time comedy and daring means 'Shortbus', the film has nothing different to say. A few couples are brought together in discussing sex by the sex education classes of the ... yes ... sexy teacher, and down the road they discuss a lot about sex, those who did not do it will do it soon, these who did it will have an afterthought, etc. The script is well written, but has really nothing important to say, acting is OK with well cast actors doing fair jobs but not really creating any memorable or at least funny character that I may remember tomorrow. The important thing for many viewers in South America may be that this film was made at all, but this is not really a enough reason to go and see it if you are out of its native area of origin.
Mauricio Acevedo Simple and funny comedy that take a real picture of many Latin American people. This could be the beginning of the "destape", see this is observe how Chileans starting in sex. She and He. Both, you could have a good moment buying this movie.Boris Quercia, director, is an actor that could be a good director if continue this way, anyway, you also may see: "El Rey De ls Huevones", his 2006 movie that too have excellent press coverage more for his quality and unrestricted way to show Chileans way to do things.And please don't believe that guatemalteco guy that say this is a bad movie, over 3 million people saw that movie only in Chile.
vaatutexas Especially for those of us who have spent time living in Chile, this is by far one of the best films I have ever seen. While the other comments are right in that it is like a soap opera, this movie has so much more than the traditional Latin American melodrama. Typical of what I have come to expect from Chilean films and even some soap operas on TV, Sexo con amor is extremely mature in the way it tackles some of society's most common problems- and its best kept secrets. Not to worry that this film might be heavy and too serious, it kept me laughing the whole time. Without subtitles, one without at least an introduction into "chilenismos" would be hard pressed to keep up, but I recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in learning more about Chile.
