Too much of everything

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

A delightfully simple story, with simple and stereotypical characters:The Hysteric wife, the insecure guy, the girl next door, the faithful friend with a simple life and a tighter grasp on reality. This movie delivers.The comedy just works, and so does the drama. This movie clearly resembles Argetina's best intimate cinema, but is also modern and dynamic.The cast is just great. Marcos Mundstock (The Analist) is a master of comedy (The presenter from Les Luthiers). Far away from playing a stock plot-filling Psychiatrist, he plays a very realistic (and Porteño) Analist, Cecilia Dopazo in this film proves that she's not only a great actress, but also a great writer. Peretti and Villamil, as usual, provide a solid acting and interact perfectly with each other. A must see.

Javier is a doctor that lives with her girlfriend, Maria. They have decided to go living to the US in order to have a better life. Maria travels before to make contacts and, the day that Javier is going to go (after selling his house, leaving his job...) she calls him to tell him that she has been with another man and needs to think what to do. Without job, girlfriend nor house, Javier fells in a great depression. He buys a little dog and results to be a Great Danish...When things cannot be worse, he meets Julia and love starts between them. Unluckily, a few days later, Maria call to tell him that she is going to return with him, which will push him into a very hard situation. The story, though complicated, seems interesting, but the result is quite bad. The movie tries to be a different romantic comedy with a very great drops of drama, and the problem is that the movie becomes nothing: it is not a comedy, it is not a drama and it is not a mix of both; the mixture is not well done. In addition, Diego Peretti (who plays the main character)has not a great day, his acting is not very convincing and the fact that the character is quite repulsive makes things worse. Moreover, the movie spends two hours to tell us a story that could be told in a hour and a half so it has a light lack of rhythm. On the other hand, the rest of the actors are not bad and the story is well built and logic. I've been a little disappointed with this film, because I expected something better. The plot is interesting, but the result could have been better.

I just saw "no sos vos, soy yo" ("It isn't you, it's me") and the similarities to the American film "Along Came Polly" are truly suspicious. It isn't that the movie is bad, actually it is very funny, but simply we've all just seen it before. Javier is a surgeon who gets married to Maria. After a week she runs away with another men and Javier (some sort of mega-loser character) gets desperate. That alone is kind of a copy of the "Along Came Polly" plot. Despite some obvious differences we definitely recognize the Polly Prince character (Jennifer Aniston) in Julia (Cecilia Dopazo). Not only her corkiness, but also her messy house. They even go for ethnic food on their first date (and this doesn't have any further consequences in the movie, so it really seems to be a wink for those who have seen "Along Came Polly" first). Maria (Lisa, in the original version) wants to get back together with Javier at the end of the movie, and so it happens in "Along Came Polly". In conclusion: I've seen the same movie twice. There was nothing wrong with the first version, no need for a second one.

(Quoting) -What are you gonna do tonight?, -I'm gonna chop off my balls, but maybe i'll leave for tomorrow. That's the best side of being alone, one can do things whenever he wants!This is just a taste of Javier's obscure sense of humour when his life takes a new direction, after his long-term relationship and brand new wife, tells him that she met someone else and wants to leave him.The film is a laugh from the beginning to the end, as the main character, (Diego Peretti) tries to reconstruct his life, and get over Maria (Soledad Villamil), with comfort from his best friend, Martin, and the help of a psychoanalyst,(Marcos Mundstock from Les Luthiers).Characters and situations as real, as life itself; sad, but taken care of, as big problems, also can have a funny side... and the tenderness of falling in love again.Do not expect a 'super-honey-sweet film', it's a love story, but it shows the bitter side as well.
