2.0 out of 5 stars old, quaint and out-of-date 28 Mar 2011
By Anne-lene Gabrielsen
Format:DVD
How strange when you know Ms Maura had allready been in When on the verge of av nervous breakdown, which is brilliant, then this boring movie comes a long. And the way the men are idiots is just depressing. I can't believe the Spaniards were this backwards in the mid nineties.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to be a woman without penis envy 19 Dec 2000
By Merita Cruz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This movie, that is actually based on a novel by Carmen Rico Godoy, is the personal view of the life of an independent woman that has to face the fact that in the 90s the world is still ruled by men, just because their men. Keep in mind that this movie and the novel are set in Spain, a very traditional an chauvinist society. She is an accomplished woman, as one she is not only a professional journalist, but she is also a housewife and a mother. Her crisis arises when she realizes that she is a mother figure to her husband, that the gynecologist sees her as a woman and not a patient, and that a promotion at work will go to the best man and not the best person. When the mistakes of others slip by seamlessly, hers do not--society punishes for being a "Superwoman"--something that she brought onto herself. Carmen Maura is excellent. She sets the tone of the movie--in the novel the character appears to be a neurotic woman, yet Maura manages to give us a woman with a purpose, and why not,with a vengance.

3.0 out of 5 stars How to be a man and enjoy this movie 15 Jun 2000
By Alejandro Aguilera - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
This movie, based on an Almudena Grandes novel, is a tribute to women all around. Carmen Maura is the wife of a man that cheat on her and a son in the process to grow... a tragedy changed her forever. This comedy has great moments of laugh, but the book is much better. I think in some levels the director misunderstood the novel, Almudena Grandes is a feminist who believe that women are not better than men, they're even and in this movie goes in the inverse. Other movies based on an Almudena novel are "Cuernos de mujer" y "How to be unhappy and enjoy it".

5.0 out of 5 stars Femisogyny strikes again 6 Jan 2004
By Dorion Sagan - Published on Amazon.com
This is a great little Spanish movie about family, gender, and sexual tension ("Sex relieves tension. Love produces it") in modern Spain. Carmen Maura plays a nuanced role as a devoted housewife and reporter in love with her sweet and apparently honest but incorrigibly sexist husband. Great bits include mother-daughter talks, stoned son, Maura and her friend�s feminist walk out during a dinner scene and the envy of Carmen�s character (called Carmen, I believe!) envy of the "elegant men" that nonetheless drive her crazy. The voice over was put to such good use that I found myself identifying as much with her as her husband Antonio (played by Antonio Resines).
