Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Leftbanker OK, almost right out of the starting gate we see Luis Guzmán so you know you are going to like this film. I've never once not liked him in a movie. Never. Is that too many negatives or do they even themselves out to make a positive because Luis Guzmán is always a positive for me. His bit was totally sit-com type stuff but he still came through with flying colors.This film gives us a little peek at Puerto Rico in the three main stories told. The bit about the guy high-jacking the bus to marry the driver was kooky but believable while the love triangle between the old folks was my favorite. All of the many romances in the film boil down to one thing: love is a big pain but it's all we have up until the day we die.

Seamus2829 What we have here is a revelation. A dark little comedy from the island nation of Puerto Rico. 'Maldeamores' (or Lovesickness,as it's being called in the U.S.). Maldeamores is a smart little comedy with a dark centre to it. The film is directed by Carlitos Ruiz,and has Benicio Del Toro as it's executive producer (a good sign),and has a cast of familiars from the island (some of which are veterans). It concerns love, and it's effect on those who fall under it's spell. It reminded me a lot of the earthy comedy's from Italy (especially the ones from Lina Wertmuller). A bit of a search may be in order to see this film, as it's being distributed by a rather small U.S. distributor.

marzo-1 This film is a good example of how through media manipulation you can sell a film that is no more than a very unfunny TV sitcom. In Puerto Rico the daily newspaper with the widest circulation has continuously written about the marvels of this film, almost silencing all others. Coincidentally the newspaper with the second largest circulation belongs to the same owners. The weekly CLARIDAD is the only newspaper on the island that has analyzed the film's form and content, and pointed out all its flaws, clichés, and bad writing.Just because a film makes a portion of the audience laugh with easy and obvious jokes, and because one can recognize actors and scenery, does not make it an acceptable film.

lmc0791 This is definitely one of the best Puertorican movies ever made. I love it so much, I've seen it twice on theaters. It shows the worst in love but you can't help but enjoy it. I'm sure only a Puertorican can truly love this film but it's a movie for everyone, so don't miss out on it. Besides I'm curious about what a non Puertorican has to say about it.For those of you interested here is a link to the trailer(you'll have to copy/paste it):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kqNGq1VVX4This film does have English subtitles, unlike the man of a previous review, I know see has been removed, said.
