I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Purely Joyful Movie!

Absolutely Fantastic

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

When the leaders of Heaven and Hell, Marina D'Angelo (Fanny Ardant) and Davenport (Gael García Bernal) respectively, decide to fight for the soul of the decadent boxer Manny (Demián Bichir), they send their best agents to Earth. The singer Lola Nevado (Victoria Abril) from Heaven and the former gangster Carmen Ramos (Penélope Cruz) from Hell are assigned to get his soul, and they have a tough dispute to accomplish their mission."Sin Noticias de Dios" is one of most original comedies I have ever seen. The story is very funny, ironical and charming, with splendid lines and dialogs in the screenplay. The direction is very precise; the wonderful cast, with a very charming and sexy Penélope Cruz; a stunning (as usual) Victoria Abril singing in a perfect Portuguese; an elegant and classy Fanny Ardant; and a very funny Gael García Bernal, has also the participation of Demián Bichir (from "Sexo Pudor Y Lágrimas", "Santitos" and "In the Time of the Butterflies"), Elsa Pataky (from "Beyond Re-Animator" and "Romasanta") and an uncredited last scene with Javier Bardem. The vision of Heaven as Paris, Hell as an American prison (could be a South-American one – certainly they are worse) and the Hell's administrator as an American president in his car with his body-guards are absolutely hilarious. Victoria Abril singing "I'm Evil" and Penélope Cruz dancing an extremely sexy dance are delightful. I highly recommend this movie, which has two (2) wins and seventeen (17) nominations of festivals, for those viewers that like a refreshing and very different comedy. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Sem Notícias de Deus" ("Without News From God")

As far as this reviewer is concerned Don't Tempt Me is a lot of confusing claptrap. Heaven and Hell in the persons of Cruz and Abrant (two lovely and fine actresses, wasted here) are fighting to gain the soul of a dying prizefighter (Demian Bichir). Just why he is such a tempting target never becomes clear. Several scenes shot in such places as a supermarket and a men's room (note the urinals), and they have a bit of humor when thought of as rooms in Hell. But at two hours particularly I felt the director was rubbing it in--or rather rubbing the viewers' faces in a mess of something. How did these good performers get involved? I should mention Gael Garcia Bernal as Davenport, just barely more than a walk-on role, but he manages to make something out of it, largely because of his own special talent, not that of the director.

I saw this movie today and I absolutely adored it!Originally, I watched it for Gael Garcia Bernal, who was quite good as the operations manager of hell. Victoria Abril played a wonderful Lola and Penelope Cruz, who I'm not very partial to, almost made me like her as the little hellion, Carmen.The only horrid part of the movie was Manny. I absolutely loathed that character. He was such a pig!Anyway, even though the movie was a bit confusing and odd at parts, I still found it wonderful.*** out of ****

Spoilers herein.I give Spanish films (minus Bunuel) lots of extra points; I just like the way they generally handle fantasy and how they entangle it with notions of observer-created reality. So this modest effort gets raised to tolerable. But it does have three interesting actresses. I finally can say I've seen Ms Penelope do real acting. Here, she is a sexy Spanish actress playing a (presumably Italian-American) gangster in the body of an English angel from Hell posing as a lost cousin who takes a role as a manager of cashiers who then puts on a final disguise to rob the place. This last frames the picture and is the root of the identity chain. Cruz reflects some presence at every level. And Abril and Ardant, though not heaviweights, are particularly interesting in how they sculpt poise.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.
