PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Andres Salama I'm not a complete fan of Alex de la Iglesia's movies - he's technically proficient, but the things that tend to interest him (old style cinephilia, terror films of the 70s, pop culture in general) are far from mine. This biting satire of consumerism, though, is probably as perfect (or ferpect) a film as he can make. The movie stars Rafael, who works as the head salesman in the ladies section of a large department store in Madrid (it is subtly touching that Rafael believes his position in society is far more important than it really is). Around him work very beautiful, model-like women, that he never fails to bed. He's the ruler of a very small kingdom. Soon, a job opens for one of the top posts in the department store, and he founds himself fighting for the promotion against the balding Don Antonio, one of the old-fashioned vendors in the men' section. Rafael accidentally kills him, and after wards disposes of the body. But there is one witness, Lourdes, the ugliest worker in the department store (and I mean, really ugly), who is in love with Rafael. She's also something of a psycho, has a really crazy family and she will then proceed to blackmail Rafael into marrying her in order not to blow the whistle about the murder; a nightmare for the consummate ladies man that is Rafael. The last 20 minutes are something of a letdown (De la Iglesia probably didn't knew how to end the story, since a tragic ending would be out of line with the farcical tone of the movie before), but overall this is a surprisingly strong, entertaining movie, that is also hilariously critical of capitalism.

todd1007 I caught this movie purely by chance on cable. Without casting too many aspersions on other user comments, there is a slightly different dynamic that makes this movie so enjoyable. While others have purported that Rafa is seeking a perfect life, the much more accurate description of his character is one that is seeking overindulgence in the material (and carnal) luxuries that can be found within the store he works in, Yeyo's. Without Yeyo's, Rafa is nothing, and Rafa knows this. Rafa appreciates, understands, and desires all excesses that can be obtained as a floor salesman, and ultimately, the store manager. So, when his archnemisis, Don Antonio, is promoted ahead of him, on the fickle whims of the store's accountants, Rafa is ruined, as Don Antonio makes priority one to fire Rafa. As fortune frowns on Rafa, he is forced to become compatriot and lover to the store's most miserable employee, Lourdes. Lourdes personifies all that Rafa abhors. But, Lourdes nonetheless makes Rafa hopelessly entangled to her. The true comedy of this movie is how Rafa must continually splinter and sacrifice his love of the grandiose to constantly appease his tormentor, Lourdes. I thought that Monica Cervera was particularly exceptional in her portrayal of Lourdes. Cervera excellently balances the neurosis of Lourdes with her strangulating hold over Rafa. Her embodiment of this precarious character is very believable. Not an easy task. Of course, Rafa's two most humiliating scenes are meeting Lourdes' family, and the wedding scene in Yeyo's. They are both priceless. I found the ending much more entertaining the most. Rafa is able to escape his personal hell, and rebuild a portion of the missing luxury in his life, only to have Lourdes give him one last punishing blow. The mud shower on the street was unnecessary and cliché though. If you catch this movie, give it enough latitude to draw you in.

leilapostgrad El Crimen Ferpecto is absurdly funny from beginning to end. Rafael Gonzalez (played by a man who looks like the Spanish Dennis Miller) is a fearless lady's man from the moment he pops on screen and reveals his philosophy on life – he goes for what he wants, and he only wants the best. That's why he doesn't mind working at an upscale department store. He's constantly surrounded by perfect things and beautiful co-workers. His perfect world comes crashing down, however, when Rafael and his boss get into a brutal fight that leaves a clothes hanger in Rafael's throat and a coat hook in the back of his boss's neck. His ugly, sex-starved, co-worker Lourdes helps him dispose of the body and cover-up the murder, and then blackmails him for all the sex, love, and affection he can give. Just when you think Rafael's life can't get any worse, it does, and every new punishment Lourdes inflicts on him is better than the one before. Pure entertainment.

mikeheneberry This is what I call a "disaster" comedy -- kind of like "Meet the Parents" or that HBO show "Curb Your Enthusiasm", where the humor comes from watching the main character squirm through a series of excruciatingly terrible situations, where everything he does seems just makes things even worse. I laughed out loud a lot as the hero, a suave ladies man and top salesman in a big-city department store, finds his world turned upside down after the big promotion fizzles out and he finds himself pursued by the ugliest girl in town.This is a fast-paced, non-intellectual, crowd-pleasing kind of flick and though it's in Spanish, the humor is broad and I think American audiences will like it, if they get to see it, in spite of the subtitles.
