Y Tu Mama Tambien Review |
by Eugene Novikov (Rating: A-) |
Y Tu Mamá También is a road trip movie, yes, and a movie about teenagers.
That doesn't describe the movie, which is like nothing I have ever seen,
remarkable in the way it weaves real poignancy into its disarmingly
lighthearted exterior. It's also frank,...more |

Put in simple terms, Alfonso Cuarón’s “Y Tu Mamá También” (“And Your
Mother
Too”) is a coming-of-age road movie set in Mexico. But this is no simple film.

I walked into a theatre showing "Y Tu Mama Tambien" without any prior knowledge
of what I was about to see. I was surprised to see a film not unlike what
Hollywood would churn out if they made far more explicit teen comedy-dramas.
That is not to say that...more |

Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN (AND YOUR MAMA TOO), told with bold exuberance by Mexican
Director Alfonso Cuarón (A LITTLE PRINCESS), is a very unique comedic drama.
Think of it, perhaps, as a road trip cross of BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
and THE GRADUATE. more |

CAPSULE: Most of this Mexican film is a road trip with
two teenagers and a woman in her 20s. Much of the trip
is discussion of sex and some minor sexual adventures.
On a deeper level this film is really about the uses
of sex in...more |

When a film opens with a handheld shot of two teens humping under a Harold and

certainly that – an original, harsh, funny slant on the traditional road movie,

Okay, it's about a pair of horny teenage boys hoping to nail a ton of chicks
during summer vacation, but And Your Mother, Too isn't merely a Mexican
