Un macho de mujer (2006)

3/10

Seaman222315 May 2006

I sincerely consider this movie as another poor effort of Dominican Movie Industry. The first 30 minutes of the movie are a little funny but then when they switch their role in the society (men doing what women usually do and women doing what men usually do) the movie falls. Becoming boring and not funny at all. They let many things without explanation and the end of the movie is predictable. I didn't like the way as a Roberto Angel played his character and his little either. I went to the movies theater hoping to see a good work but I went out really disappointed.

I don't recommend this movie.

awful movie, it has no point

It has a great name, but thats it and you wont get more than that for your money, in fact the first 30-40mins of the movie you might find it some kind of funny but after that the story goes from one side to another with no particular reason and you just cant understand whats happening until the action its gone.

And yet the producers (Roberto Angel Salcedo) calls him an actor, but i don't think the way he does could be called nothing but overacting!!....period. The little kid who plays as his son has totally no sense of acting and i believe it was just a favor he did or something because he had no clue of what he was doing.

For some reason while doing the casting they thought that by casting comedians they could made it, but they didn't!! and sometimes the tasteless cheap humor its so bad, i don't buy it.

But hopefully this is as bad as it gets. To make people accept those DVD's to the good taste public they will have to offer some food with it, that might work out.

Well, it's not the worst movie, but it sure as hell isn't the best

Warning: Spoilers

I was very disappointed by this film for a few reasons. For the first half hour it's actually pretty decent. Although the acting isn't any better then that which you would find in a rap video, its kinda funny and the production value doesn't seem half bad. In fact I almost thought this would be almost as good as Perico Ripiao (another recent Dominican film) which turned out to be MUCH MUCH better than I expected. The plot for the movie revolves around not just cheating husbands but how women are viewed and treated in Dominican society as a whole, which makes for a good premise especially in The Dominican Republic. Unfortunately I don't think the makers of this film relies that a good movie is all about how you treat your subject matter, and they f'ing butchered the veal cutlet they had before them. About 30 minutes into the movie the roles of men and women are reversed after the main characters wife puts a kind of spell on him as a result of his cheating habits. Not only does this transition happen via what look to be cutting edge, space age, CGI effects dating to what I'm guessing would be the 70's, but the whole plot just goes down the drain. The rest of the movie is nothing but cheesy predictable situations, and clever one liners. To top it all off (and I guess I should warn you now **SPOILER ALERT**) it all turns out to be a dream. Oh my who didn't see that coming? Oh man I almost forgot the most ridiculous thing about the movie. Well after about an hour into it I start thinking "hmmmm something just doesn't seem right about the sound track but what can it be??" and then it hits me HALF OF THE MUSIC IN THE MOVIE WAS TAKEN FROM A VIDEO GAME CALLED KING OF FIGHTER 95.

When oh when DR will you give us a film we can call a work of art?!?! Perhaps a comedy to match France's Amelie, or an action flick to match Thailand's Ong-Bak, an animation as Akira was to Japan, a witty crime thriller as Layer Cake was to England, or a socio-awakening journey as Waking Life had here in the states.

...i would give it a 1 but i've seen much worse come out of DR, search Los Jodedores and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Great and Funny Surprise

hermilk23 February 2006

After severals failed intents of DR movie makers, finally come true an enjoyable and well done comedy. Try not to miss this movie, cause you will keep laughing from the beginning to the end. The Director can catch the good sense of humor of the Dominican People. In a City of a Carribbean Island, where the power of the Macho still remains in the structure of the family, a young wife try to change the way of living of his happy and foot-loose husband who spent all his free time to hang out with his two job pals and young girls. The solution is given to her in an amulet: "amanzaguapo" it's power will revolve the life not only of the husband, even his friends.

good job

gregjean2523 January 2007

I've seen this movie, and I think it was a good production, in order to understand Dominican movies, people must understand Dominican speech, I think Roberto did a great job on this movie, of course there is always place for improvement, but time and experience always yield its fruits. if you are Dominican and watch this movie, you will enjoy it, because shows a reality of our society. the movie starts very nice, with very nice music, later slows down, and the part which I did not understand, it's that when Ramon it is given the "Amanza Guapo", he was supposed to change, but everybody changed, and if I am not wrong one of the ladies said, if this works for you then I will try it as well, any way, I love this movie.
