User Reviews

Fresh & Entertaining

After watching the original a while back, it faded from my memory fast, which will not happen with Kiki. The main difference is the direction & far superior performances.

The exiting, direction and photography is fresh and colorful, vicvdly showing a contemporary Spanish summer.

The actors are actually good, which is always refreshing in a comedy, and the scrupt is actually satisfying, with very good jokes spread throughout (the deaf girl story).

What is apparent is that some segments and stories are simply much better than the rest, and elevate the movie (think the one starring the director), while some drag and simply detract from the movie. However it's still a fun romp all around.

Liked: -specific scenes, such as the therapist scene (feels like straight out of a Woody Allen scene) and the sex club scene -some of the comedy -the actors

Disliked: - some of the stories and their pacing -some of the dialogue
