2/4
Familiar, soapy script. Go to Full Review Ed Park Village Voice 12/04/2001
Bears some resemblance to All About My Mother, but lacks its compatriot's flamboyance, content to traffic in glib banalities and unwitting self-absorption. Go to Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 10/04/2001
4/5
Wise, beautifully acted and well-observed. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 12/07/2001
A shameless, straightforward soap opera (no Almodovarian excess here!), but it's pretty entertaining on its own sudsy terms. Go to Full Review Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Daily News 10/09/2001
Albacete, Menkes and co-writer Lucia Etxeberria have a good ear for dialogue, but demonstrate less certainty at creating a wealth of memorable characters or situations. Go to Full Review David Ehrenstein New Times 10/04/2001
A thoughtful, well-acted and well-observed (though bleak) look at what some people have to put up with to get through life. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/08/2009 Hmmm... sorta cute for a melodrama a decade ago. See more 05/06/2008 Película muy divertida, muy española, con su toque gay. See more 12/16/2007 Me trae muchos recuerdos. De las primeras que fuimos a ver todas las de la pandilla en Pamplona juntas al cine. See more 12/13/2007 The interesting thing about this heterohomoromantic comedy is that it is an UnLove story. It's about almost love, or half love, or kind of friendship. There its merit. See more Read all reviews
