Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

MartinHafer Pedro Almodóvar has a strong tendency to make films that push the boundaries of conventional morality. His themes usually revolve around sex and through the course of most of his films, you come to realize that the convention looking folks in his movies are morally bankrupt hypocrites. In this sense, "I'm So Excited" is fairly typical of his films, though the style in which he makes these statements about human beings is unique to say the least.The film is set almost entirely on an airliner that might just be doomed. While the plane is supposed to cross the Atlantic to get to Mexico City, the plane just circles and circles and circles the airport in Toledo, Spain...waiting for the all clear to make a landing with broken landing gear. Through the course of this long wait, the very emotionally fragile and incompetent crew do a lot of unprofessional things...such as drugging all the passengers in Economy to shut them up, fighting about who has had sex with who as well as learning the odd back stories of the few passengers in Business class. Overall, they're all wackos to say the least...and, of course, moral hypocrites...doing and discussing a lot of behaviors (mostly sex acts) I'm not even allowed to mention on IMDb!This film earns an 8 mostly because it is so unique and the black humor is, at times, pretty funny. It's obviously not a film for kids, your mother or Father O'Malley if he happens to stop by...but it is fun...and shocking...like you'd expect an Almodóvar film to be.

Harold Boss OK nobody else has apparently pointed this out yet, but the effects of mescaline are WILDLY DIFFERENT from how they are shown in this movie.Mescaline is a powerful hallucinogen similar to LSD, psilocybin, 2CB etc. It takes at least an hour before the effects are apparent and the total duration of the trip can be 10 or 12 hours. At the peak of the trip eyes are dilated, strong hallucinations, highly mystical, spiritual experiences etc. Mescaline has been used by shamans for hundreds (thousands?) of years in the form of peyote and other cactus.The passengers in this film are allegedly taking a HIGH DOSE OF MESCALINE. I doubt very much whether sex would even be possible on a high dose, let alone landing a plane. Anyone unfamiliar with hallucinogens would be freaking out. However considering the duration of the drug, the characters in this movie would not be tripping hard until well after the plane had landed.I don't expect total accuracy in a comic movie but I would have thought Almodovar could have been somewhat closer to the mark.https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/mescaline/mescaline.shtml

Claudio Carvalho In a flight from Spain to Mexico, the pilots and crew are bi-sexual or gay and all have sex problems. When they learn that the landing gear is stuck, they try to find an airport for an emergency landing. A few passengers discover that they may die and some of them contact their families; others have sex. "Los amantes pasajeros" is an unfunny and disappointing comedy by Pedro Almodóvar. The storyline is silly; the characters and non-likable and not funny; most of the jokes are about sex among gays. The cameo of Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz is limited to a couple of minutes only to give their names to the credits. The most impressive is that after 90 minutes running time, I was unable to laugh. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Os Amantes Passageiros" ("The Passengers Lovers")

geocaplan-883-878434 The film's narrative is such a perfect metaphor for it's function that it achieves a kind of meta-brilliance, but there is not a shred of pleasure or purpose to be had along the way: The cast (that is the passengers) are trapped in an enterprise by a technical malfunction resulting in no one ever going anywhere. Whatever critique of Spanish cultural or political life some may feel this film attempts in its set-up is never realized, and in fact, is abandoned very early on. THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE this is not, by a very, very long shot. Almodóvar fell off a cliff several years ago and has now, finally, hit bottom.
