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

by Jerry Saravia (Rating: 3/4)
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 Mama Tambien Review
by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 3.5/4)
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

by Norm Schrager (Rating: 4.5/5)
When a film opens with a handheld shot of two teens humping under a Harold and Maude poster, one can assume the movie is different. Y Tu Mamá También is certainly that – an original, harsh, funny slant on the traditional road movie, as experienced by...more

Y Tu Mama Tambien Review
by Jon Popick (Rating: 7/10)
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 version of Porky's or American Pie. Call me crazy, but the Venice Film Festival probably wouldn't give...more
