Actually I enjoyed this movie (and sorry Sergio, I'm not from Mexico). It may not be as great as some claim, but still it has something to offer. Funny and sad at the same time. Not 'typically' Mexican, I mean: it is relevant to western modern life and love relationship in general. Not only to Mexico. Artists (at best) have a vision to express, no matter where they do come from. One should not expect Mexican directors to make only movies about Mexico, Brazilian ones about Brazil, Iranian ones about Iran,... U.S. and European directors are not the only ones that have the right or the ability to be universal. Far from it. (However, a movie can sometimes be time- and location-specific and yet be universal; that's the magic of humankind)
In brief, an interesting movie. Some parts of it are clumsy, but nevertheless it's worth watching it.

A movie about western contemporary relationship
Strange Movie
I found this movie very strange in many ways. I can't see it as a comedy, as many people suggest, but more like a drama.
The reason why I didn't liked this movie so much, is because the story,that is very confusing and also surreal. For example, how can a husband, that doesn't have desire for his wife,suddenly starts to like and have a crush on her again? Or even worst,accepts her back after seeing that she betrayed him?
I also found that the friendship between Andrea and Maria totally odd. I mean,Andrea sees her husband Miguel and Maria , having affairs all the time,and even on that way she continues to be friend of Maria.
Not to mention Tomas,that is a don juan who loves to be with many different women,and starts to have a crisis,wanting only one woman,all of sudden.
Maybe I couldn't understand the movie very well; but anyway, I found it odd.
If you want a good movie just watch something else
If you want to waste your time this movie is for you. I have stopped watching it after the half of the movie because it does not have a single reason to keep you in front of the screen. It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen and to be honest it does not deserve 6.6 rating. Everything is so poor in this movie I do not know why some people rated with 8's and 10's.
