Very good film. Better than I thought it would be. Storyline is excellent.
Tye N. gave it a10:
This is an excellent film and, like Maria Full of Grace, is almost too real in it's subject. The actors, along with the excellent script, convey these characters and these situations with such authenticity it's almost a documentary. Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna are great, but Maribel Verdu is fantastic as the glue that holds the film together. Her performance is stunning. Alfonso Cuaron's direction is amazing, and this film is most definitely a must see.

Excellent film. spontaneous acting, fun and riveting.
Dave S. gave it a10:
My favourite movie of all time. The writing is second to none, and Maribel Verdu's performance is a revelation.
Dave C. gave it a9:
The relationship between the two male protagonists is often insipid and Cuaron fails to make them sympathetic to the audience and muster up enough quite tha mount of homoerotic tension it appears he is opting for. Leaving that aside however, Y Tu Mama Tambien is a beautiful film and in spite the obvious of nouvelle vague influences and jump-cuts, every scene has an amazingly convincing and natural fluidity to it. Difficult not to recommend.
August G. gave it a0:
You call this a movie? It's hardcore/softcore porn with a plot. If the director added a few more sex scenes this movie would've premiered on the Spice Channel. The director might as well said "We're gonna film two Mexican boys getting their brains screwed out by a 28 year old harlot as they traypse across Mexico in search of a beach that doesn't even exist." which is wrong from the get go. If I want to entertain myself with something like this nature I'd read Madame Bovary than watch this sexed up piece of crap.
