Great Film overall
... View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreA classical teenage story. Many times this can be seen in real life. Precisely because of this fact, the film has received some golden meanings, although in the acting, scenic sense, there is a lot of things missing. Actors, I would say nothing more than an average. However, the message that the film sends is extremely powerful. Anyone from the younger population should look at this film because it can learn a lot from it. In fact, both boys and girls could see how to avoid problems in life.
... View MoreI turned this movie off after 47 minutes. I really felt sort of sick to my stomach seeing where it was going, and seeing how it is apparently the favorite move of so many people. The main characters meet with the guy, Hugo, harassing the girl on the street, then again at a party he breaks into. Then he almost gets her killed by chasing the car in which she is riding with his little motorcycle gang, for no discernible reason. The "romantic" part of their relationship starts with him using her to make sure she doesn't denounce him to any legal authorities, as he is already supposed to go to prison for nearly beating someone to death, then goes and severely beats up other people in the meantime, never with any real reason. Oh and this guy is still sleeping with his actual girlfriend while the female lead, a high school student, is falling in love with him. I just didn't care at all what happened to any of the characters as they were completely undeveloped/the type of people I want to pretend don't exist. I am so sad that there are 2 sequels to this film, it makes me feel like humanity is devolving.
... View MoreWhat I don't understand is at what point do they start to love each other? This is not real love that makes you feel warm inside. This is a piece of s***. They are both drop dead gorgeous, they look at each other and Babi forgets whatever bullshit he did to her just because he's drop dead gorgeous and they fall in love only because they are beautiful. Honestly I was watching this and I thought, they must have skipped some months because these guys have nothing in common, nothing to bond over. We didn't see any meaningful dialogue between them. At WHAT POINT, and WHY are they deeply in love? This movie is immature love at the most. I'm 16 but I just think at 18-21 people are more mature and should have deeper relationships? Maybe i would have liked this movie when i was 10. It's like a very young teens/child fantasy because it has no basis on reality or true love (sorry I keep mentioning this).Watch this movie if you want to kill brain cells. I liked the music at the start star for that. And it was entertaining, I didn't get bored (maybe at the end).
... View MoreI got this movie recommended for me, more than once, so I had high expectations. It started out with a guy insulting a girl - and of course you already know they are going to fall in love. But at that same moment, when you see the girl with a shy smile on her lips, as her car drives away - that is one of the first, of many, big mistakes this movie does. Justifying and encouraging such treatment - to insult someone in order to "get her".This movie justifies men treating women with no respect what so ever, the main character, Hugo, harassed the girl, Babi, more times than I can count, without any reason. This treatment kept on going, even after they became a couple. And Bebi kept running back to him two seconds later, whatever 'big' mistake he did. One second they were broken up, and the next they were kissing again.Tres metros sobre el cielo provides terrible gender behavior and roles for both men and women. It reinforces the stereotypes of men being violent, cold, emotionless, brutal and disrespectful, and it portrays women as weak, indecisive, extremely emotional and incredibly dependent. I don't even know where to start, I could write a whole book about this movie and how it reinforces the gendered stereotypes we already have, and what kind of message it sends out to young teenagers - who I guess are the main audience for this movie.One of the few good things I can say about it was the beautiful photography, it was thoughtful, lovely and very artistic. The actors were doing a good job as well, but their characters and the script was very, very bad.I will not recommend this movie to anyone - but probably rant about how bad it was, and how disappointed it made me. I kept waiting for a twist, a twist that somehow would make all the behaviors and the treatment justified, but it never came.. Please don't waste your time on this movie.
