Plenty of juicy "s" words apply to And Your Mother Too: sexy, sweet, subtle, sad, surprising, superb... and did we say sexy? With enough male and female nudity to qualify as softcore porn--but deserving none of the stigma attached to that label--this vibrant coming-of-age road movie is guaranteed to jumpstart any viewer's libido. Frank treatment of its characters' burgeoning sexuality makes this unrated film a real eye-opener, but it's never prurient or juvenile. Rather, the three-way odyssey of two 17-year-old Mexican boys (Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna) and a 28-year-old Spanish beauty (Maribel Verdú) is energetic and affirmative, while acknowledging that relationships--and sexual adventures--rarely develop without a hitch or two (or three). Filmed in sequence by Alfonso Cuarón (Great Expectations), and shot with invigorating natural style, this refreshing comedy-drama employs an omniscient narrator to reflect upon precious stolen moments, weaving three lives into a memorable tapestry of fun, friendship, and fate. --Jeff Shannon

1) Great!   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I'm so satisfied with my product! I really appreciate your care in delivering me quickly! Thanks.

2) A nonintellectual opine   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This was the very first spanish speaking movie I purchased. I have since become an adict. I love the realism of the Mexican scenes. I love the reality of the young men's adventures. It's true that it is a "coming of age" type movie which depicts two young males adventurous beach trip with a slightly older female.I gasped at the ending, but I quickly recovered. I generally don't like unhappy endings. At first I perceived this ending as unhappy, but I don't feel that way after having time for reflection. It's a movie I often recommend to openminded folk. On the occassion I am allowed to "forcefeed" a friend a subtitled movie, the friends have ALL liked this movie and have recommended it to others.

3) Where is the warning?   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
This excellent movie was ruined by a scene that lasted about four seconds .There should have been a warning on the package or in the review about male homosexuality.I know it's ok with some people, but there should be a warning for those of us who are not into that.

4) Boys will be boys?   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Boys will be boys, ok i guess thats an accurate statement. But boys will not make out sexually with their best friends. At least they shouldn't. This movie started out pretty good, once they start out on a roadtrip with a little marijuana-usage, you think you begin to see where the director is going with it. But you don't. May the surprises begin. I watched this movie with some of my guy friends one night, and i'd say for the laughs, it was worth it. To this day all i gotta say in accordance with some kind of insult is Y Tu Tambien and its still funny. But honestly, as film, its not bad at all. As far as acting, direction, production and all that. But as these little unpredicted "homosexual events" happen, i began to lose interest. The funny thing is, regardless of how gay it got, we just kept watching it til the end. We kept saying to ourselves, ok theres no way it can get any gayer then this, but we were proved wrong too many times. The motivating factor for finishing this movie was the lonely housewife, WOW. I don't even care if they turned gay, you gotta respect them for getting with her. Reason enough to watch the movie right there. Hands down

5) Hot   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Besides the obvious this video have such a strong message. Many over and undertones, director amazonly. Highly recommend.
