almafuerte-1 A delightfully simple story, with simple and stereotypical characters:The Hysteric wife, the insecure guy, the girl next door, the faithful friend with a simple life and a tighter grasp on reality. This movie delivers.The comedy just works, and so does the drama. This movie clearly resembles Argetina's best intimate cinema, but is also modern and dynamic.The cast is just great. Marcos Mundstock (The Analist) is a master of comedy (The presenter from Les Luthiers). Far away from playing a stock plot-filling Psychiatrist, he plays a very realistic (and Porteño) Analist, Cecilia Dopazo in this film proves that she's not only a great actress, but also a great writer. Peretti and Villamil, as usual, provide a solid acting and interact perfectly with each other. A must see.
celestevial I just saw "no sos vos, soy yo" ("It isn't you, it's me") and the similarities to the American film "Along Came Polly" are truly suspicious. It isn't that the movie is bad, actually it is very funny, but simply we've all just seen it before. Javier is a surgeon who gets married to Maria. After a week she runs away with another men and Javier (some sort of mega-loser character) gets desperate. That alone is kind of a copy of the "Along Came Polly" plot. Despite some obvious differences we definitely recognize the Polly Prince character (Jennifer Aniston) in Julia (Cecilia Dopazo). Not only her corkiness, but also her messy house. They even go for ethnic food on their first date (and this doesn't have any further consequences in the movie, so it really seems to be a wink for those who have seen "Along Came Polly" first). Maria (Lisa, in the original version) wants to get back together with Javier at the end of the movie, and so it happens in "Along Came Polly". In conclusion: I've seen the same movie twice. There was nothing wrong with the first version, no need for a second one.
abisio NO SOS VOS, SOY YO (It's not you, it's me) is about an Javier and Maria, middle age Argentinean couple, living in a dangerous monotony, that decide to move to USA looking for better opportunities. Maria travels first, and few weeks later, announces Javier (her husband) that she had met somebody. The matrimony is over, and so is Javier's life. The movie comically (but sometimes very sour) documents his actions trying to overcome his depression about his failure in life, future and relationship.The movie stands above almost every recent (failed) love history recently in cinema; mostly because it does a great effort to avoid common places and situations. Dialogs and situations are very realistic but funny. Sadly, many of the best jokes will be very difficult to understand without knowledge of the Argentinean Spanish. Ultimately, are the writers (one of them is the only good woman in the movie) who give up and go for the easy way out; probably to satisfy most of the public.However, the main problem with the story is the main character. Diego Peretti is a very good actor (as is Soledad Villasmil, as the cheating wife), but his character is too real for his own good. It is unpleasant and very very difficult to like; making very difficult to feel any kind of sympathy for a person that you can bear even on the screen.Overall, the movie is not bad at all. It is not an easy comedy but a light and finally optimistic drama.
juanveliz7 Yetserday I went to the movies to see this one and I have to admit it surprised me...I was expecting a very simple, nice but kind of embarrassing plot, with the same old Argentinian jokes and this was much more than that...Its about a newlywed couple that has some problems and the husband (really well played by Diego Peretti) gets into deep depression and struggles to move on. The very appearance of Cecilia Dopazo in the story announces that there'll be a love conflict, but in the end, everything turns out to be a happy ending (tough I'm still not saying which lady gets the stud)...There are very funny jokes not only in the dialog, that keeps realistic the whole time, but also some situations where you don't know whether to feel sorry for him or for the people around him To say its more of a comedy that a romantic film is enough If you're expecting too much it may fulfill your expectations, if you are not expecting too much it will surprise you in the best way Simple script, realistic but funny situations and characters you'll definitely remember weeks after watching this... "No sos vos, soy yo" is another Argentinian success
