smatysia I thought that this was a decent sex comedy. I thought that Chile was a fairly conservative society, and though I obviously cannot make judgments based on a movie, it really seemed little different from the U. S. The photography of the unnamed Chilean city was fine. The plot was interesting, although it seemed awfully casual about the semi-incestuous encounter. It is hard to gauge an actor's performance when it is in a language not known to me, where I have to get the dialog from subtitles. But no one came across as bad, and I had to take note of Sigrid Alegria, who is stunning, playing the part of the young schoolteacher incongruously in love with the much older, toad-like parent of one of her students.

andrabem This film really made me laugh. It's not like those typical American movies in which sex is portrayed with prudery, timidity or solemnity. The sex scenes are portrayed in an open way. What I like in many Spanish and hispano-American films is the care with which they choose the actors/actresses. The chemistry among the actors/actresses is taken into consideration. That's why their sex, friendship and romantic scenes are much more intense than in their American counterparts. This film is a joy to see and hear. It's entertaining and thought-provoking. Some Spanish and hispano-American films I recommend are: "Pantaleon y las visitadoras", "La nina santa" "Todo sobre mi madre", "Maria Full of Grace" "Mar Adentro", "Sexo por compassion" (see this one after "Sexo con amor") etc.. I live in Brazil and would like to see much more Spanish-speaking films. There should be a greater integration among Latin-American countries.

jotix100 We are taken to a classroom in Santiago, Chile, at the start of this story, where children are asked to answer a test about sex education. The beautiful teacher, Luisa, never discusses the results with her students. Luisa, we realize, is having an affair with Jorge, the father of a boy in her class. At the same time, Luisa has her own live-in boyfriend. It appears the kids in Luisa's sex education course couldn't care less about the subject.To complicate things further, Then we meet Emilio and Maca, parents of a another boy in Luisa's class who are having problems of their own. It appears Maca doesn't like sex as much as Emilio, who seems to be ready for it at all times. Alvaro and Elena are a young couple with a daughter in the same school. They all come together one night as Luisia is trying to impress on all parents the importance of sexual education for children that will be teen agers soon in school, as well as at home.That this film was done in Chile is even more surprising. The country, a conservative stronghold in South America, shows how times are changing in this funny comedy directed by Boris Quercia, who also appears as Emilio. Mr. Quercia's film, one of the most popular films of all times in that country doesn't want to shock, on the contrary, he presents his story as a sort of waking call for his fellow citizens into speaking frankly about such thorny issue, that we are sure is not one of the things people don't feel free to talk about in the country.The ensemble cast Mr. Quercia gathered do impressive work. Sigrid Alegria is excellent as Luisa. Alvaro Rudolphy appears as Alvaro, a man whose wife, Elena, is expecting and feels the urge to look for sexual adventures with his secretary and willing women. Alvaro, on the other hand, is a typical exponent of the machismo mentality when he accuses his wife of getting involved with a friend from her university days, who happens to be gay. Patricio Contreras, is also fine a s Jorge, the writer who is involved with Luisa. Maria Izquierdo makes a comic contribution playing Maca, Emilio's wife.It appears that someone that had an issue with the movie keeps marking the comments submitted to IMDb as not useful. Take this comedy for what it really is and let other viewers make up their minds. Boris Quercia deserves better and perhaps he will show us on his next film.

LatinoMan It seems that for a movie to be called a masterwork it must show either obscure localisms or close shots of women's underwear. Believe or not, people acclaim this Chilean feature for its sexual content, not for whatever superficial insights on life it might have. This is an empty, banal, vulgar and poorly executed film. I can't believe the Chilean gov. backed it up. It looks so cheap! From the bad casting, too old or young mothers, to amateurish acting, to a truly awful script this is a movie you should avoid to all costs. Since when a movie must depend on sexual content to carry whatever point it intends to make? Said that, despite the excessive sexual graphism of this movie, excessive for a supposedly non soft core porn flick, I don't have any issue with it; I can accept and try to understand why the director would want to fill with cheap scenes his work. However, I think he failed miserable with this supposed sexual comedy. In the end, he only achieved to impress some of his countrymen, people hungry for panties shots in a domestic film or just because the movie apparently depicts a Chilean (and Latinamerican by extension) reality.So I can't recommend this futile exercise on mediocrity to anybody. It is really a trashy film. Instead, watch Playboy on cable or a real movie. In fact, I was generous when I gave this garbage a 3. It deserves nothing!
