Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
blanche-2 "I'm So Excited!" from 2013 is not Almodovar's best effort - it's as raunchy as it gets, and it seems like it's on the light side for him. It really isn't, if you understand Spanish politics.The plot concerns a flight from Madrid to Mexico with an economy class that's been drugged so they'll sleep through the flight and won't become restless, and a first class with just a few people in it. Those people consist of a dominatrix, a virgin psychic, a man escaping from bank fraud, an actor, a couple on their honeymoon, and a man who describes himself as being in the security business. They are attended to by three gay male flight attendants who at one point lypsync and dance to "I'm So Excited." They also pass out Valenciana cocktails with mescalin in them.It seems that the plane might not land - there's a problem with the landing gear and the pilot is frantically seeking an airport where he can make an emergency landing. Someone described this as a gay Airplane! and I suppose in a way it is. Almodovar I think was saying that the economy class (i.e., the poor) are kept unaware of circumstances. The wealthy people in first class are awake and, if not in control, at least they know what's going on.If you're not a fan of Almodovar, you will undoubtedly hate this. I liked it - I'm not one for raunchy, sexual humor -- but because I like Almodovar and his quirkiness, I put up with it. I have to say the guys' rendition of "I'm So Excited" was hilarious - I watched it a couple of times. Also, Miguel Angel Silvestre, one of my favorite actors, plays one of the honeymooners. Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz have cameos.Almodovar isn't for everyone, but he's an intelligent director with an offbeat sense of humor. If you're unfamiliar with him, I recommend you start with "Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" or "All About My Mother," or the wonderful "Volver."
runamokprods Uneven, but a lot of fun, with some serious thoughts about politics, class and the economy of modern Spain nicely hidden in the mix of sex and absurdity. This (very intentionally) hearkens back to Almodovar's anarchic, rough edged early sex farces like Pepi, Luci Bom, but now he's re-approached that kind of story with the technical mastery of a lifetime making ever more sophisticated films. That cuts both ways. On one hand the gorgeous color-popping polished visuals, and high- level performances make this even more of a joy to watch. On the other hand, it's very smoothness takes some of the bite out of Almodovor's early punky biting the hand that fed him, pushing the limits of film in post-Franco Spain. But forgetting all that serious mumbo-jumbo, this is fun sexual and political farce, 90% of which takes places on an airplane that may be doomed. Led by three very funny, very gay flight attendants determined to keep the upper-class passengers distracted from what's really going on, using everything from musical numbers to mescaline (the economy class passengers have simply been drugged and put to sleep; a heavy handed but effective comment) – the flight gets wilder and wilder as those ruling class passengers reveal their secrets – sexual, social and personal - and their libidos. As do the flight crew. Certainly not Almodovar's best work, but often filthy, funny and smart. And if a good number of the jokes don't quite hit, those that do, will sometimes make you laugh, and others will make you smile ruefully.
Lee Eisenberg "Los amantes pasajeros" ("I'm So Excited!" in English) is more lighthearted than most of Pedro Almodóvar's movies but still has a lot of clever stuff. The people trapped in an airplane who get forced to learn each other's life stories comes across as an allegory for Spain's current state of affairs: amid the economic slump, the government keeps opting for more austerity, which is sure to exacerbate the problem.The most interesting characters are the gay stewards, but the tart-tongued Norma (Cecilia Roth) has her own things to offer. It's not exactly a black comedy; it's got the same sort of humor that parts of "Broken Embraces" have. I found it to be a good movie, as I have every Almodóvar movie. When I stayed with a family in Spain, I was surprised to learn that the host mom didn't like "All About My Mother".As I once said, had Almodóvar ever cast Spanish horror star Paul Naschy, the movie probably would've been about a werewolf in a damaged relationship.
westsideschl 1. If anyone finds this funny then they haven't grown out of potty humor and the same level sexual innuendo. 2. A storyline with no direction; just a patchwork of dialogue thrown together as filler between swigs of alcohol and pretend sex. 3. Cheap graphics representing a plane flying. Really cheap graphics during titling and credits. 4. How cheap? Cruz and Banderas appear for about 30 seconds at the beginning boringly haggling over some luggage falling off of a baggage cart. Symbolic of the intelligent writing to follow for the next 90 minutes. Also symbolic of the junk these two have signed-on for in the pursuit of money these past few years. 5. Some actors first learned and practiced their lines a few minutes before filming. 6. Next to Mexico and Bollywood for turning out the worst film/TV on Earth (all for squeezing every last cent off of the high illiteracy rates in those countries) Spanish studios are close behind.
