This movie was alot different than I thought it would be. I can't really say that I enjoyed it. The womens behaviors were way over the top but I assume it was for the comedic value. The women in the movie seemed to tolerate the inappropriate behavior of the men. Some women feel like they have to have a man in their lives to be complete. This leads to bizarre behavior at times. Some women contemplate suicide, others act on it, like Pepas friend Candela who jumped off pepas balcony. Others lean towards revenge/murder like when Pepa spiked the drink because she knew Ivan liked it.Many women today stalk their lovers and ex-lovers like Pepa did to Ivan. It's amazing that in todays world men can still be the cause of a womans self destructive behavior.
The men in the film were portrayed as gigolos, Ivan moves from one women to the next and Carlos hits on other women even though his fiance is in the next room. In the film it seemed like normal behavior. In some cultures women are taught that the man is the boss and they follow meakly behind . It amazes me how some women allow a man to degrade/disrespect them and they think it's ok.
I liked the part in the movie when Pepa saved Ivans life at the airport when Lucia was trying to kill him. Then when he came over to her she didn't want anything to do with him. It seemed like she had grown as a person and found her selfworth within herself.
