V.A. Musetto New York Post Familiar, soapy script. Rated: 2/4 Dec 7, 2001 Full Review Ed Park Village Voice Bears some resemblance to All About My Mother, but lacks its compatriot's flamboyance, content to traffic in glib banalities and unwitting self-absorption. Dec 4, 2001 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Wise, beautifully acted and well-observed. Rated: 4/5 Oct 4, 2001 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide A shameless, straightforward soap opera (no Almodovarian excess here!), but it's pretty entertaining on its own sudsy terms. Dec 7, 2001 Full Review Glenn Whipp Los Angeles Daily News Albacete, Menkes and co-writer Lucia Etxeberria have a good ear for dialogue, but demonstrate less certainty at creating a wealth of memorable characters or situations. Oct 9, 2001 Full Review David Ehrenstein New Times A thoughtful, well-acted and well-observed (though bleak) look at what some people have to put up with to get through life.

Audience Member Hmmm... sorta cute for a melodrama a decade ago. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Película muy divertida, muy española, con su toque gay. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Me trae muchos recuerdos. De las primeras que fuimos a ver todas las de la pandilla en Pamplona juntas al cine. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The interesting thing about this heterohomoromantic comedy is that it is an UnLove story. It's about almost love, or half love, or kind of friendship. There its merit. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
