      6/10
      A gay and off-the-wall Spanish comedy with entertainment and diversion enough
      Almodovar's style comedy starred by Spanish-star-cast with plenty of absurd humour and disconcerting situations . Offbeat crazy comedy with hilarious results but pretty embarrassing . Two fine directors , Dunia Ayaso, Félix Sabroso , bring us a special whodunit , resulting in a very mixed bag of eccentric roles on a life-threatening situation , they're residing at a flat that's inhabited by three sympathetic gays : Toni (Jordi Mollà) , Dani (Roberto Correcher) and Carlos (Pepón Nieto) , where has happened a grisly murder . A hunky and sex-crazed stud , Lucas (Alonso Caparrós) is the last to come to live at the noisy apartment . Their twisted incidents and defenselessness in the face of danger provokes a general craziness . When it appears a man murdered his roommates result to be the prime suspects. Things go wrong when two unusual police inspectors (Lucina Gil, María Pujalte) showing up to investigate the astonishing criminal case . Who's the killer ?

      Silly film full of bad taste , outlandish characters , embarrassing mood-pieces , fun scenes , filthy humor , burlesque and sense of style but not totally satisfactory , including conventional pitfalls . The picture deals with three outrageous gay people sharing an apartment and along the way , happening absurdities , mad events , funny messes and many other things . However , being an extremey stagy and claustrophobic pic due to everything takes place inside an apartment or at a song club . There are many references to Pedro Almodóvar's universe throughout the sui generis characters and nutty occurences in the movie . The flick is passable but turns out to be very inferior to Almodovar films . The result is undiluted embarrasing comedy with a lot of profanities, references to homosexual sex and convoluted strings of plots . It's a piquant look at Madrid life by involving some gay friends played by three good actors but overacting their mannerism or affectation , and along with two peculiar police inspectors . Nice interpretations by all star-studded main and support cast and full of familiar faces as Maria Pujalte performing a disconcerting police inspector and other delightfully played roles , such as : Esperanza Roy ,Alonso Caparrós , Gracia Olayo , Ferran Rañé , Carmen Balagué , Malena Gutiérrez and Antonia San Juan's film debut , Mariola Fuentes's second movie , among others .

      It contains attractive musical score by composer Manuel Villalta including catching songs , such as : Corazón contento Written by Palito Ortega Performed by Gema Corredera ; It's a Lonely Town written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman ; Ma che fredo fa ; House of Devotion performed by The Frogmen and Voy a perder la cabeza por tu amor written by Manuel Alejandro and Ana Magdalena . Furthermore , colorful and luminous cinematography by cameraman Catinari , though mostly shot in interior .

      The motion picture was professionally written and directed by Dunia Ayaso and Félix Sabroso and being realized in their peculiar style . This couple of directors were competent experts on amusing comedies . They collaborated in various films until recent death of Dunia Ayaso . They made some attractive comedies ¨El grito en el cielo¨, ¨! Descongelate !¨ , ¨Perdona bonita, pero Lucas me quería a mí¨ , ¨Los Años Desnudos¨, ¨Fea¨ , ¨El tiempo de los monstruos¨ and ¨Isla interior¨(2009) in this one their sixth film they made a pure drama, although they had hinted at this change with their previous film ¨Los Años Desnudos¨. They won several prizes and nominations , such as : Iberoamerican Short Film Competition 2010 Winner "La Navaja de Buñuel" Award : Dunia Ayaso , Félix Sabroso . They won some prizes , such as : Nantes Spanish Film Festival 2010 Winner Jules Verne : Award Dunia Ayaso , Félix Sabroso , Valladolid International Film Festival 2009 Winner , Golden Spike Best Film Félix Sabroso , Dunia Ayaso. ¨Perdona bonita, pero Lucas me quería a mí¨(1996) rating : 6/10 . Passable and acceptable , but only for Spanish cinema enthusiasts.
