The boyfriend

This misguided comedy, written and directed by Jesus Delgado, is one of the worst films that have ever been produced in Spain. Obviously, this movie was made thanks to help of money available for young talent that have no way to make their films, otherwise. If there was an argument against these subsidies, this film will be a perfect example.

First of all, the plot is so convoluted, it makes no sense. The whole thing is just preposterous because we just can't believe in anything that is going on. Just think about poor Veronica, who being the girlfriend of Alex, a detective, has no qualms in making out with a man that is under suspicion for having robbed a bank, Roberto, who also was involved romantically with the young woman years ago.

The film is a mess. The director's idea to fill the gaps in the script is to have all his characters cursing all the time. This is a film to avoid at all costs.
