Experience the musical phenomenon ! .With the best hits of Raffaella Carrà !.
Entertaining and funny musical comedy with fine actors and attractive musical numbers that was success enough at Spanish box office . It is a funny picture dealing with couple relationships , jealousy , lies , family conflicts and anything else . Resulting to be a charming and bemusing picture based on the hit songs by the popular italian singer Raffaella Carrà . Screwball comedy seasoned with musical numbers and regular but professionally directed by Nacho Álvarez. Romantic Spanish comedy with good actors , spectacular musical numbers singing charming songs , and nice direction . There's an embarrassing plot about the censors during the Francoist regime -from 1939 to 1975- when had been forbidden to give any news considered blasphemous, subversive, obscene , or against the good manners . It is not surprising to recourse this Musical Comedy genre carried out by the same writer of ''The Other Side of the Bed'' and ''The two sides of the bed'' . The best parts of the movie are the choreographic numbers and known songs adapted in original model with roots in pop music of the eighties and nineties ; recreating the essence of the classic songs by body movements accompanying sensual melodies and lyrics . This is a charming musical comedy including love stories in which there are twisted messes , as well as the ordinary Spanish clichés . Colorful story of loves and jealousy in which predominates songs and musical spectacle . It has some moments of enjoyment as well as amusement and others quite a few embarrassing . Regular and unbalanced , but gaining the sympathy almost at all times . Bad timing results to be the voice of the singers with the actors , it is less achieved . The film had a fairly large budget in the case of Spanish cinema and with cast members who did her own singing . Still , the public turned away , probably driven away by the mediocre reviews that accused it of having somewhat bland musical numbers and a cast that failed to dazzle . Main actors give passable acting , such as Ingrid Garcia Jonsson as the stubborn Maria and the unknown Fernando Guallar with whom she is very much in love . Co-stars Veronica Echegui who steals the show as the funny, loudmouthed, vivacious, free-spirited Amparo . All of them play and dance wonderful and Raffaela Carra classic Spanish songs . Support cast is frankly good such as : Pedro Casablanc , Fran Morcillo, Carlos Hipólito , Fernando Tejero , interpreters who provided a considerable boost to the result . Furthermore , dances and choreography are pretty well , following Emilio Martinez Lazaro's ¨El Otro Lado De La Cama" style , "Scandalous" or ¨¿ Porque Se Frotan Patitas ¿¨ (2006) by Alvaro Begines and in French cinema wake , such as François Ozon' ¨Potiche¨ and ¨Eight Women¨ , and , of course , the international boxoffice ¨Mamma Mia¨ and its sequel ¨Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again¨ (2018) .
Including catching and evocative soundtrack by great composer Roque Baños . As well as glamorous and brilliant cinematography by Juan Carlos Gómez . The motion picture was middlingly but professionally directed by Nacho Álvarez in his film debut , as no big deal , the flick is acceptable and passable . However , accustomed to other successes in the Spanish cinema , Explota Explota (2020) failed to convince this time to criticism or public .
