This Peruvian teen comedy is build around a good plot core,related to the night-long experiences of a group of adolescent boys with young hookers,occurring simultaneously.Unfortunately,a boring preface,based on bad taste humor;and a pretended dramatic epilogue,spoils the film as a whole. It can be interesting as a reflex of the idiosyncrasy of middle-class teenagers in Peru at the 2000 decade.Melania Urbina does the best performance as one sensible young hooker,giving friendliness along with sexual knowledge,to her teen client.Milene Vásquez gets well photographed,artistic nude scenes;while Angie Jibaja (a vedette in real life)displays as the classical hooker.

I think the movie was made with the expectation that it would generate more buzz locally (in Peru) than internationally. I say this because of all the Peruvian jargon, I imagine it lost a lot in translation and I know for a fact that non-Peruvians wouldn't enjoy it as much as those of us who are part of the culture.

Generally, good acting by most characters and the cinematography (which has been described as poor by other users) was actually what made this movie enjoyable for me...it was successful in drawing you in as if watching the real lives of these teens.

There is one erotic scene which was beautiful and tragic. It is when one of the call girls allows a young boy to witness and partake in her self-arousal. One of the scenes that makes me want to recommend this movie. Also great is when one of the prostitutes, after having been humiliated by a teen, hesitates before taking his money, then takes it anyway as if to assure him that for her it was a non-sentimental business transaction too.

See it!

This is surprisingly good effort of a buddy movie / teen sex comedy that starts on a light-hearted and fun note but gets heavier and darker until it collapses under its own weight.

A group of 4 high school friends spend a night going out, having fun, and in the end, hiring prostitutes so that one of them can lose his virginity. Parallel to that story we get to meet the girlfriend of one of the guys who's at a slumber party. We learn a bit about each of the characters. And initially things are very funny- not just in terms of dialogue, but the kids do practical jokes on each other and others, including the law.

Eventually they hire 3 attractive prostitutes for 5 hours or so and take them to the house of one of the kids. The guys are somewhat nervous, reluctant, hesitant so we get a lot of attempts to break the ice as they all spend some time in the living room. Finally they go to their separate rooms and the remaining guy spends the time playing video games and spying/listening in on the other guys. In between sexual acts there's a lot of conversation between the couples as they get to know each other and themselves. Again, the conversations start out light, but eventually secrets are revealed/discovered and things get surprisingly ugly. In the end it all falls apart and what started as a fun movie ends up on a real sour note that ruins the experience.

Technically, there are some limitations obviously to the production. Some sets are better than others, for example. There's some outdoor filming which is good. The acting is superb I must say. The script is very good but full of foul language, understandable since our main characters are horny teens. Perhaps the sexual angle is exaggerated at first. But the actors do a great job in making it all seem completely natural.

This movie would have been a great sex comedy if they had left it at that. But I guess the producers thought that a movie won't be taken seriously unless some drama is injected. The problem is that they just went overboard. There's a twist to every guy's story, a revelation of sorts but they are all for the worse. What starts out as a fun feel-good movie ends in a really ugly way that was completely unnecessary.
