Storyline
In 2019 Barcelona, Catalonia (in northeastern Spain), 35-year-old Marcos breaks the fourth wall like Ferris Bueller in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) to talk about himself as his life turns upside-down in the worst way: his 8-year relationship with Ana ends abruptly when she breaks up with him the same moment he proposes marriage; the next day, his boss fires him, claiming "personnel reduction." Defeated and without resources or money, Marcos is forced to move back in with his parents, obsessed to recover Ana at any cost. Feeling like an alien lost on planet Earth and totally unfamiliar with the 21th century's language and social networks, Marcos starts to follow the advice of Sebastián Vennet, a famous Argentinian Internet coach and guru, trying to change himself into a successful man and a sex machine. Blackmailing his close friend, unstoppable womanizer Diego, Marcos gets a job as sports commentator in the Internet section of the newspaper where Diego works. Later he meets Raquel, a former high-school classmate who returned to Barcelona after several years in London. Funny, outlandish, loudmouthed, streetwise, free-spirited accordion player and amateur singer Raquel is a force of nature who decides to help Marcos change his life. Then the unexpected happens: Ana reappears, wanting him only for sex, leaving him confused. He keeps his encounters with Ana secret from Raquel, as his beautiful, vain, sex-bomb work colleague Lorena hits on him, after having turned him down several times in the past. Marcos realizes his true feelings about Raquel at the worst moment: a casual meeting in a disco among the three causes Raquel to discover the truth, catching Marcos in the most inconvenient moment. Feeling more lost than before, Marcos is forced to decide what he really wants in life before he loses everything. —Chockys

You don't have to be stupid
Or stay that way I reckon. Romantic comedies are a peculiar thing. Even if the work for some, others will hate them with all their heart. So while this isn't close to the best romantic comedy I've seen, it is more than decent enough. With cliches and jokes that may feel forced at times - parents having "sex", accidental transvestite dating and so forth ... the latter may feel insensitive or at least read that way, but your reaction to it will say more than the actual reaction the movie is showing. Handled it quite well considering the subject matter.
For a non english movie you feel weird this having an english song being so imprtant. So full of feelings - I smiled and had a tear in my eye. Which obviously was intended - the song is great too of course. Very fine use and the lyrics sort of are fitting too. Just enjoy the madness (not much but the little it has) and the two very different characters that are not fit for each other now are they? But will they be good for each other in the end? Well what do you think? Not giving anything away of course - one thing I will tell: there is some nudity. Which makes sense when you see people sleep with each other ... or just because they like to take their clothes off (who knows?) ... fun little movie that can be enjoyed if you're not too harsh with it (and yourself)
