In the nights of the 80s, Borjamari (Santiago segura) and Pocholo (Javier Gutiérrez) move freely in the Aguacates nightclub, with their self-confidence they are the kings of the place dancing to songs. They are experts in making dirty jokes to the girls, and laughing and joking with everyone and constantly having fun. Only now, the two brothers have fallen into disgrace, and are not given in Aguacates and other places, being the object of mockery and ridicule. Their cousin Pelayo (Willy Tolesdo), who they used to laugh at and abuse in adolescence, reappears in their lives, now he is a modern flirt man , popular and a successful skier. He avenges the old cruelties of his cousins, announcing that Mecano will reunite in a surprise concert. The brothers believe it and embark on an adventure in the company of Paloma (Pilar Castro), a romantic and emotionally complex girl. Paloma has the keys to her daddy's car, and also the keys to Borjamari and Pocholo's happiness. They are apparently the perfect trio, but then things go wrong.
The movie is embarrassing to see because of the fun as well ridiculous situations that protagonists suffer in order to to revive their old hits and to attend a Mecano concert get their aims .The film follows in the wake of "Isi Disi amor a lo bestia" and its sequel ¨Isi/Disi: Alto voltaje¨ dealing with two bankrupted Rock singers played by Santiago Segura, Florentino Fernández, while ¨El asombroso mundo de Borjamari y Pocholo¨(2004) is set in the 1980s, with Borjamari and Pocholo as two "pijos macarrillas" from the Aguacates disco, but 20 years later, the two brothers are teased by their resentful cousin Pelayo. It packs grotesque incidents, hilarious sketches, tongue in cheek , sex remarks, but above all , it contains bad taste , irony and silly humor. Santiago Segura and Javier Gutiérrez give likeable interpretation as the bemusing duo stranded long time that attempt to play together to get their aims .
The only thing worth mentioning about the film is the brief appearance of notable supporting actors, including veterans and younger ones who would go on to have wonderful film careers, such as: Carmen de la Maza, Gerardo Malla, Antonio de la Torre, Patricia Vico, María Ruiz, Javivi, Marta Hazas, Daniel Albadalejo, Secun de la Ros, Diego Martín, Fernando Tejero, Liuva Toledo,Josema Yuste, among others.
The technician credits are pretty good . Adequate cinematography by cameraman Teo Delgado.
