Truly Dreadful Film

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Blistering performances.

In my poor opinion, "Gordos" its a film that conceive that the problem in many times it is not the obesity of the people if not other problems very hard as the infidelity, fear of having a children, the toxic relationship of two brothers, etc.Those problems, also, are problems very serious of the society. Even, those problems are very serious than the obesity.In this film, Daniel Sánchez Arévalo get to transmit this item in many differents lifes where everyone intersect in the weekly meeting. It is a good way to mix the comedy and the drama.

This film was absolutely excellent! The characters were so relate-able -not just their struggles with appearance and weight, but also with elements of their personal lives. Although the genre is comedy/drama, I found it to be much more of a drama, with some funny moments that will probably make you smile rather than laugh.Throughout the film each of the character's stories are gone through in detail and the viewer is given an intimate insight into their personalities - somewhat clichéd but, overall, very entertaining.If at first you don't get into it, make sure you persevere, as the ending is one of the saddest and most beautiful endings I've seen.

It helps a lot if you master Spanish when you see this film, not only Spanish but a good amount of lingo from Madrid, as some of the comments, twists and jokes loose quite a bit during translation.You laugh, laugh and laugh but at no time you miss drama nor plot, the movie evolves well and, though the ending is not my favorite, wraps a great comedy.Seem no human emotion goes untouched by this movie, love, sex and relationships displayed constantly in a very smart fashion.Last, the amazing transformation of the characters, speechless.It is so refreshing to see smart, well presented movies, in an era where CG and FX dominate the American movie industry, some should go to Spain to take a class ( or two), but again, it seems the majority of American public is not ready for anything that goes beyond video game quality, pity.

This is a bad movie. It has some few funny things, you will smile sometimes. Not laugh, just smile. Other than that this movie feels too long. The characters are very plain, they were taken directly from the "drawing board", they doesn't feel like real persons.The performances are not bad, and because of that it's nice to see some of the characters in this movie, but the plot ends up ruining the movie.The only attraction here might be to see the weight changes the cast had had to make this movie. If the weight changes were real (and they seem so) it's a pity these people have risked their health for such a bad movie.
