I Love Mexican Vacations

Y Tu Mama Tambien (R-rated Edition)

Plenty of juicy “s” words apply to And Your Mother Too: sexy, sweet, subtle, sad, surprising, superb… and did we say sexy? With enough male and female nudity to qualify as softcore porn–but deserving none of the stigma attached to that label–this vibrant coming-of-age road movie is guaranteed to jumpstart any viewer’s libido. Frank treatment of its characters’ burgeoning sexuality makes this unrated film a real eye-opener, but it’s never prurient or juvenile. Rather, the three-way odyssey of two 17-year-old Mexican boys (Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna) and a 28-year-old Spanish beauty (Maribel Verdú) is energetic and affirmative, while acknowledging that relationships–and sexual adventures–rarely develop without a hitch or two (or three). Filmed in sequence by Alfonso Cuarón (Great Expectations), and shot with invigorating natural style, this refreshing comedy-drama employs an omniscient narrator to reflect upon precious stolen moments, weaving three lives into a memorable tapestry of fun, friendship, and fate. –Jeff Shannon
