Trivia

Originally, this movie was set to be a direct sequel of Yo soy la Juani (2006) with Verónica Echegui reprising her role. For unknowing reasons, the project didn't turn out, so Bigas Luna rewrote it and casted Elsa Pataky.

User Reviews

Routine Spanish skin flic

Disappointingly short on surprises, this Spanish A feature follows the familiar rise to empty fame and glamour trajectory.

The Russian GLITZ was a far more imposing take on this subject.

Bar maid Pataky rises Hollywood stardom, via some kinky activity which includes being cling wrapped by a rich industrialist. You've got to admire her for running this obstacle course.

There's lots of skin, handsome production values, US location shooting and a script that someone should have known wasn't worth all this effort.

Why the director of the exceptional CHAMBER MAID OF THE TITANIC would want to make this one needs some explanation.
