Carus Productions I am not sure what Pedro was thinking when he wrote this film, considering he made the Oscar-nominated 'Women On The Verge of a Nervous Breakdown' five years earlier.The film tries too hard to be a comedy. Veronika Forque is over-the-top in her performance, which is the point in most of Pedro's films, but this is exaggerated. There is nothing comedic about the infamous rape scene, nor should rape be classified as comedy ever.I do appreciate the character Andrea, because she represents the media in how she considers every horrific event as news entertainment. Perhaps that is the point Pedro Almodovar wanted to make. Otherwise the rest of the film falls flat.Do not make this film have you turn away from such a wonderful director. His later works are masterpieces, and he only improves through age. I recommend any of his other films, especially 'Broken Embraces' or 'Volver'.

kimbleanne This film was the worst piece of garbage I have ever seen. The worst Almodovar film by far (and I've seen every one but Flower of My Secret and High Heels). No character development whatsoever, the film drags for the first 3/4ths of it, then is wrapped up haphazardly in the last 20 minutes. Rape is again treated nonchalantly by Almodovar, and Veronica Forque, who I'm told by my film professor was supposed to emulate Marilyn Monroe, is both irritating and flaky. Warning: this film has no cinematic value. A real bomb for Almodovar. Watch at your own risk.

filfy-2 Although the film is ostensibly about "Kika," she is actually only one character featured in this raunchy, ensemble comedy.The plot here is all over the place! This is not necessarily bad--one character ties into another character's life and the focus of the movie moves in a circular manner which eventually returns to our heroine, the naive but lovable Kika (well-portrayed by Verónica Forqué).This film is funny! It's a combination of "There's Something About Mary," Woody Allen at his zaniest, and "Sex and the City." Good for a laugh, especially for the poor dubbing of Peter Coyote's Spanish.

Tito-8 This was the first Almodóvar film that I saw, and I would still say that it's one of his better movies. It's yet another highly unusual film by the Spanish director, filled with weird situations and his typically unorthodox style. The story is actually somewhat flimsy, and I didn't much care about what would happen to the main characters. However, I enjoyed this film because I liked a high number of the silly jokes. Like all Almodóvar films, this definitely isn't for all tastes, but if you like unconventional films, this is a pretty good choice.
