Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This is such a simple, beautiful story done on a low budget, yet it's one of the nicest love/friendship stories I have ever seen. So much better than anything coming out of Hollywood these days. The amount of beauty, great feelings, friendship, love, esprit de corps and many other irresistible things draw me back to it. I don't think I will ever get bored watching this movie. My friends from HBO took me to see it once at a festival in LA. They produced some of the most famous and very profitable TV series out there. I walked out of the theater thinking how this little movie, done with such a great sensibility is better anything my HBO friends have ever done. It reminds me of Serbia where I come from and it makes me feel that the USA and England where I spent half of my life are basically a zombie-land where love (or even friendship) is hard to come by. All we have here is more or less psychopathic obsession with money and power games. This beautiful little story reminds me that there are much better places and better social environments to spend one's life in. Even watching a little bit of this movie makes me happy.

If I didn't know better I'd have guessed that the writer and director of "Plan B" were two different people, neither of them very experienced or talented, totally working at odds. The film seems like a collaboration between filmmakers who had never made movies before, or even seen better ones."Plan B" is too long by half, especially for as little story as there is to tell. Scenes drag on forever, broken up by shots of buildings and rumbling ambient sounds that belong in a more suspenseful film. There is a lot of will-he-or-won't-he going on, lots of staring and deep thinking, but none of it out in the audience. Which isn't to say that this little story is boring, only badly told. In the right hands, two men discovering that trying to define yourself is only fooling yourself could be completely fascinating.The film's biggest problem is the distance from each of its characters - not only emotionally but literally, in front of the camera. There are so few closeups it becomes difficult to follow what any of these people are thinking, and the script's refusal to put any of their struggles into words only hurts the process. Lucas Ferraro breaks through once, with a silent scene where Pablo realizes what has happened and what it means to him. Manuel Vignau's Bruno gets no such scene, so it's almost impossible to register where his plotting ends and his supposed love begins. Other characters, their relationships unclear, wander through adding almost nothing to what's going on.So "Plan B" is a disappointment mainly because of the squandered opportunity it represents. With dialog that developed its ideas and a director who better exploited not only its comic but tragic aspects, the brilliant hook of the script could have resulted in another minor classic like "Parting Glances." Instead, it is just one more foreign import with a great-looking trailer: lingering glances, a few butt shots, and a hope that the gay guys who've rented it will be too busy reading the subtitles to realize how thin the story and emotions actually are.C+

I have to say this movie is like 1 in a Million, because of the emotional roller coaster I had when watching it. I was intrigued, sad, happy and sometimes excited. I don't think this is a 'mainstream' movie because it is such an acquired taste. Only people who appreciate all the details in this movie would understand why it was depicted that way. The most poignant moment for me is, when Bruno argued about the existence of Peter Pan, and that was genius, and people who skipped here and there along this movie wont find all these amazing moments. For someone complaining about the gritty apartment would realize love does not only belongs to the rich people.Finally, for who dispute how these guys support their life (as if they were not working) would realize, a lot of the scenes were taken during evening or at night which explained the dark backdrop.

Thats correct .This is one LONG boring bore.The 2 male leads may be good actors, but they sure do not come over as possible gay lovers.What we have is a 2 maybe 3 reel film DRAGGED out to 103 minutes.The short scenes with actresses are not that good either.How any one could possibly like this is beyond me.The 2 star rating is for a few nice shots of scenery. The film is from Argentina.Films from here are usually much better. I cannot even recommend this as a gay themed movie.
