This misguided attempt to comedy showed up recently on a cable channel. Not having a clue as to what it was about, we decided to take a chance. Bad choice!
The film, by Catalan director Joel Joan, who appears to have been making his debut as a full length feature, is a writer, basically, as well as an actor. In fact this project seems to have been a joint venture with Jordi Sanchez as a vehicle for themselves. Although the screenplay is credited to Pep Anton Gomez, it appears the basis for the comedy was a stage play involving Mr. Joan and Mr. Sanchez.
The story involves Christian, a horrible womanizer and his pal, Jesus. Christian having made contacts with an American ad agency decides to create their dream come true breaking away from their jobs. Jesus is married to Begona, who hates Cristian. Susana, a television personality is Christian's main squeeze. The quick pace in this comedy gets out of hand right away when one realizes one does not have anything in common with the duo at the center of the action, nor does one care what happens to them.
