    Torremolinos 73 is a quirky, light-hearted take on the hopes and dreams of two average people in 1970s Spain. The characters are vivid and easily recognizable, and the plot is just convincing enough to be believable but bizarre enough to keep your attention. I enjoyed it. (But Torremolinos 73 is definitely not a good movie for a first date, as you can probably imagine from the general subject matter.) Expand

  1. Camara and Peña are perfectly cast as the bewildered couple, and early on Berger gets some laughs from the one-note premise. But the material grows increasingly stale as the film drags on to its unintentionally creepy finale.
  2. 60
    Somewhat wacky tale, based on real events, is kept anchored in reality through attention to detail and by first-rate central perfs.
  3. 50
    Its Saul Bass-y credits suggest an Almodóvarian flamboyance, but this impotent '70s-set comedy mostly skimps on discoteca stylishness.
