Complications arise after a woman tells her lover (Guillermo Toledo) she is leaving him for someone new (Ernesto Alterio).

Critics Consensus

The Other Side of the Bed has appealing stars and some amusing moments, but they never add up to more than a sporadically entertaining trifle.

Geoff Pevere

Toronto Star

A movie in which insufferable yuppies boogie away inside the bubble of their own emotional immaturity. Truly, this is the unhinged joy of the deeply oblivious.

Rated: 1/5

Liam Lacey

Globe and Mail

Martinez-Lazaro's blend of erotic farce and Europop musical is so blandly slick and skin-cream deep, it barely leaves an impression, never mind anything to embrace.

Rated: 2/4

Boston Globe

If you're looking for an amusing endorsement for cheating your socks off, you've come to the right place.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

The Other Side of the Bed sorta drags in the last half, but it's a fun romp in the sheets with a little music thrown in.

The List

The film wallows in its own stupidity, realizing that by mocking itself it will bring out the fun and humor of a seemingly grave situation.

Rated: 3/5

No character arcs, no closure. Everyone ends up where they were, and there is no motivation to better themselves. How did this get made?

Esta peli es un poquito loco, un comedia casi como un musical que incluye una variedad de canciones temáticos españoles incluyendo "Salta" por Tequila y "Las Chicas Son Guerreras" de Coz, pero cantadas por los actores principales de la peli con números de baile con la gente extra de las escenas. Trata de unos amigos (Pedro y Javier) y sus novias respectivas (Paula y Sonia). Cuando Paula se rompe con Pedro, es porque está saliendo-ligando con Javier, quien miente a su novia Sonia diciéndole que le quiere. Después de intentar arreglarse una cita a el Pedro con una chica del trabajo (Pilar), Pedro empieza a ligar con Sonia mientras que Javier y Paula se alejan y el primero piensa que su novia Sonia está ligando con una amiga lesbiana. Todo la peli es bastante rídiculo, pero habla mucho de las curiosidades entre los parejas supuestamente monógamos en un mundo tan complejo y complicado.

I've seen this before, but it was a while ago... and I enjoyed it all over again. I do love musicals, though, especially musicals where the whole cast sings like "normal" people rather than trained singers.

The dialogues in this movie, mainly those payed for San Juan, are memorable and brilliant. the best ones from spanish cinema. It's unecessary the musical part but in spite of this it's a great movie and deserves to be seen.
