8/10
Surprisingly good. Overpasses expectations.

To be honest, I didn't expect much from this movie. It was over-hyped received lots of media attention. Now, not to be disrespectful with Mexican cinema but most Romantic Comedies from the past years have been total crap. Huge crap. So my expectations were minimal.

I was correct in the first minutes. The movie was pretentious, it displayed a part of Mexican society that only exists in movies or in the rich class, it had clichèd characters, and crappy humor. I thought I was watching another novela or something like that.

To my surprise and delight, the movie took an interesting direction towards the first half. The situations turned entertaining and with good humor. Yes, the technical values are not the best but still are candy for the eye. The direction is fast paced and has some decent camera angles. I mean, this does not look like a novela at least!

Ana Serradilla is not a conventional beauty but she's very beautiful, sexy, charming, tender... and she delivers a fun, sexy, believable performance. She was funny but she also displayed great dramatic features when she had to cry, for example. She stole the show. I didn't know she was such a good actress. The rest of the cast is also very good although some actors are directly taken from novelas. Good job from Ana Layevska who is a fine actress with a sassy attitude.

So if you are into the mood to have a good time with your girlfriend, watch this movie and you will see, believe me, she will be very happy with it. The ending is also great and will probably make your girl cry.

Although I'm a huge obsessed Horror fan, I enjoyed "Cansada De Besar Sapos". One of the best Romantic Comedies from the new era of Mexican cinema.

This is a fun movie with sexy bits and a charming plot.
