How can the weekend be over already? *sigh* Ah well, maybe the end of the weekend will also bring an end to my quasi-lurkdom on LJ (meaning that I do save stuff but don't get to read anything because I either have a RL or I waste time watching videos/films or browsing for stuff on Wikipedia

Unax Ugalde! Yesssssssssss. I fell in love with him after watching Reinas. I even had an icon of him for a while. :)
As for the film itself, I don't remember much about it (I watched it a long time ago) but I'm pretty sure that I found the concept interesting, and I'd watch it again. It's basically about a whole bunch of gay male couples getting married in Madrid in this mass ceremony, and the film follows a few of those couples (and their mothers, lol) in a vaguely rom-com style thing. It's one of those films with many characters who are all linked in some way - I have a weakness for films like that. I guess it's like a conventional rom-com but with a more interesting premise! I can't remember if it was actually funny or clever, though, just that I liked the concept. It's like any movie about a bunch of couples getting ready to get married; it doesn't make a huge spectacle about the fact that they're gay men. But at the same time, it doesn't shy away from that. Bah, I should stop trying to explain this film that I can't even recall properly.

Oh, and my mother adored Love in the Time of Cholera and I'd say that she has pretty good taste. :) Besides, isn't Javier Bardem in it? Mmmmmm, he is fine.

I just ordered Reinas today, hehe. XD I mean, a gay film with Unax? Can there be a better reason for me to buy a film? XD And considering the reviews it got on Amazon, it seems like it's a good film too, so I'm all the more excited about it! :D Thanks for letting me know what you can remember of the film! I'll definitely return here once I've watched it and then we can discuss a little, if you like. :)

My mum wanted to watch that film but then forgot, but from what I read about it on Wikipedia, I'm sure she'd have liked it. I'm not really into that type of story usually, but once I discovered that Javier Bardem is in the film, I really have to see it. XD (Have you seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona? Another brilliant film of his. :D)

Ooh, do let me know what you think of it! I feel like watching it again right now.

I haven't seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona, no. My mother really liked it, though. C:

I definitely will! :D

Oh, you have to see that one! Javier Bardem is brilliant, and I also loved the female leads, especially Penélope Cruz. That woman is a goddess. :D And there was so much chemistry between the main characters, wow. :)
