Touches You

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

The acting in this movie is really good.

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

Well, it is difficult to give this movie a dissected look, even tho it is quite fragmented.You see, one can't hope for a well woven story when filming was accidentally driven for more than three directors and a long shoot, a crappy exec producer and a greedy distributor (but hey what's new about that?).Everything falls apart, the sound is awfully mixed, the photography carried out just like a recently grad student, Editing looses the audience, production quality hopes to get saved by a few shots abroad, in short, the execs apparently just gave up and tried to cut their losses.I strongly advise you to look the other way and grab another flick.

To be honest, I didn't expect much from this movie. It was over-hyped received lots of media attention. Now, not to be disrespectful with Mexican cinema but most Romantic Comedies from the past years have been total crap. Huge crap. So my expectations were minimal.I was correct in the first minutes. The movie was pretentious, it displayed a part of Mexican society that only exists in movies or in the rich class, it had clichèd characters, and crappy humor. I thought I was watching another novela or something like that.To my surprise and delight, the movie took an interesting direction towards the first half. The situations turned entertaining and with good humor. Yes, the technical values are not the best but still are candy for the eye. The direction is fast paced and has some decent camera angles. I mean, this does not look like a novela at least! Ana Serradilla is not a conventional beauty but she's very beautiful, sexy, charming, tender... and she delivers a fun, sexy, believable performance. She was funny but she also displayed great dramatic features when she had to cry, for example. She stole the show. I didn't know she was such a good actress. The rest of the cast is also very good although some actors are directly taken from novelas. Good job from Ana Layevska who is a fine actress with a sassy attitude.So if you are into the mood to have a good time with your girlfriend, watch this movie and you will see, believe me, she will be very happy with it. The ending is also great and will probably make your girl cry. Although I'm a huge obsessed Horror fan, I enjoyed "Cansada De Besar Sapos". One of the best Romantic Comedies from the new era of Mexican cinema. This is a fun movie with sexy bits and a charming plot.

With another poor year for the Mexican film industry quality and creativity, I would risk to take this movie and bring it to the recommendations board on its category.I knew little about Ana Serradilla but I have to admit that she offers a sweet performance that gives a fresh and tender touch to this comedy; Another remarkable hit is brought by Miguel Rodarte behind a gay character that makes his appearances funny and very enjoyable.The story itself is not very propositive but it's a soft romantic comedy that accomplishes having you in front of the screen with a constant smile and enjoying a great time. Isn't that one of "going to the movies" goals?

We all know that Mexican film industry produce a lot, but sometimes is hard to watch a lot of those movies because they are not commercial. Now "Cansada de Besar Sapos" is the chosen one to exhibit on movie theaters."Cansada de Besar Sapos" tells the story of a girl tired of being cheated to by her boyfriend, the girl is Martha (Ana Serradilla) a interior designer. So she decides to search for mr. right now in the web, and become a "hombreriega".She could've been a portrayal of a very strong woman, but the director (or maybe someone else) chooses to settle for the "fairy tale version" of this story.It is a funny movie, but you have a very recently example of another Mexican movie called "Asi del precipicio", a little more daring to show a girl reality in this country (and a bit more entertaining, I have to say).Ana Serradilla has star potential. But the surprise is Miguel Rodarte in "another gay role", I hope to see more of this actor in better roles. And also kudos for the art direction and the soundtrack, both, excellent.An enjoyable movie.
