Y Tu Mamá También (And Your Mother Too) Review

Y Tu Mamá También (And Your Mother Too) starts with a shot of a hairy arse frantically bobbing up and down beneath a Harold And Maude poster, as one of the film's trio of heroes, Tenoch (Luna), bids a frenetic farewell to his girlfriend Ana (Mercado). It carries on in much the same way from there - scatological, knowing, funny and tinged with the sadness of a fleeting moment.

Ana's departure leaves Tenoch and his best friend Julio (Bernal, Amores Perros) alone and bored for the summer (the latter's girlfriend has also gone to Italy). They've got little to do other than smoke weed, go to parties and jerk off. That is, until they meet Luisa (Verdú), the beautiful Spanish wife of Julio's unpleasant cousin. Jokingly Julio and Tenoch invite her to come with them to a paradise beach called Boca Del Cielo (Heaven's Mouth - lecherous pun fully intended). To their amazement, she takes them up on their offer, having left her philandering husband. The boys, unaware of this and completely unprepared, manage to borrow a car, rush around to their dealer's to pick up a map and other essentials and hit the road with Luisa, hoping for some sex - and that she won't realise that the beach is a figment of their imagination.
