Having not seen EL OTRO LADO DE LA CAMA I was unprepared for the song and dance routines of this film but after the initial weirdness they were wonderful additions for the most part especially in the scene with the two main leads and the talented Pilar.
While American cinema seems to have lost the ability to do screwball comedies and freaks out at the though of homosexuality especially male homosexuality the Spanish do it will ease and style never taking themselves or the material too serious while not making everything end with everyone back to normal.
The scenes between the two female leads will funny were also too true to lesbian relationships. All the interactions seemed genuine and there was a real charm and love of the characters and their story. The second story was funny but less necessary to the whole movie.
I look forward to seeing the prequel to this.
