Cansada de besar sapos

We all know that Mexican film industry produce a lot, but sometimes is hard to watch a lot of those movies because they are not commercial. Now "Cansada de Besar Sapos" is the chosen one to exhibit on movie theaters.

"Cansada de Besar Sapos" tells the story of a girl tired of being cheated to by her boyfriend, the girl is Martha (Ana Serradilla) a interior designer. So she decides to search for mr. right now in the web, and become a "hombreriega".

She could've been a portrayal of a very strong woman, but the director (or maybe someone else) chooses to settle for the "fairy tale version" of this story.

It is a funny movie, but you have a very recently example of another Mexican movie called "Asi del precipicio", a little more daring to show a girl reality in this country (and a bit more entertaining, I have to say).

Ana Serradilla has star potential. But the surprise is Miguel Rodarte in "another gay role", I hope to see more of this actor in better roles. And also kudos for the art direction and the soundtrack, both, excellent.

An enjoyable movie.

It was a huge disappointment to see this film.

The plot is so predictable, they use all the stereotypes that fit in the characters and all the available clichés to make a very obvious story.

The soundtrack is a compilation of love songs, and you listen to them all the time, due to the lack of a good story they use the songs to "guide" the viewer into the plot. About on a half of the movie, the only thing that you listen is a love song, one minute dialogues, and then another love song. Hard to stand after an hour.

I won't deny that I had a couple of laughs, but the suffering was bigger than that.

This film had a lot of advertising in Mexico, and maybe for the average T.V. viewer perception this is not such a bad movie. But I dare you, my friends, to tell me that it deserves more than a 2.

Excuse my English ;-)

Well, it is difficult to give this movie a dissected look, even tho it is quite fragmented.

You see, one can't hope for a well woven story when filming was accidentally driven for more than three directors and a long shoot, a crappy exec producer and a greedy distributor (but hey what's new about that?).

Everything falls apart, the sound is awfully mixed, the photography carried out just like a recently grad student, Editing looses the audience, production quality hopes to get saved by a few shots abroad, in short, the execs apparently just gave up and tried to cut their losses.

I strongly advise you to look the other way and grab another flick.

It's a very nice Latino romantic comedy, fun, enjoyable, and touchy. (And believe me, I never liked romantic comedies before done by Mexican filmmakers) but this one is fresh, great acting, charming, very well directed and the production values are excellent. Never heard about this director before but it's obvious that his background is from advertising. Never saw an Mexico City so beautiful. I really enjoyed it and also it's fresh...I am tired of Latino films about drugs, gangs, thieves, rapes, immigration ... Latinos have ten thousands more positive stories, and this is one of them. (Especially that it makes fun of the macho men).

I thought this film was great. Being use to flashy Hollywood films, I caught this movie during Christmas vacation. I absolutely loved it. The acting was good, the storyline was interesting. I felt like this was the story of someone I knew or maybe even something that could happen to me. Very real and entertaining to the last minute. The soundtrack was phenomenal. I recommend this movie and thanks to this experience will now make a better effort to support Mexican films. I was pleasantly surprised by Ana's versatily and credibility in the supporting role. I only knew her as a soap opera actress. PLease go see this movie. It's great for a girls night out, a first date or just on your own.
