Steineded How sad is this?

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

bjarias contains spoilers... no matter how well done.. at times some of these films just stretch the credibility issue way too far... here we have a woman that's married to a guy she finds out really has feelings for her, but wants to have sex only with men.. (and she's been married to him for ten years !?) .. and she craves sex, so much so she sleeps with his brother a bunch of times, relishing every dalliance...getting into it hot and heavy, she then makes the decision to pack her bags and leave the gay husband for a torrid sex life with the hot brother in law... now it turns out in addition she's pregnant with the brother's kid (who BTW when finds out, immediately tells her in no uncertain terms to get an abortion).. the husband says irregardless who fathered it, he'll step up and play dad, as long as he can sleep with other men whenever he wants... now supposedly, this drop dead gorgeous, irresistible woman (can't take your eyes off her) is just going to remain content/ happy being a mom.. while the a-hole BIL is just going to remain out of sight for the remainder of the kid's life (his-kid!)... whoever dreamed up this bizarre fairytale had to be whacked out at the time on something seriously strong.. in no known universe is this EVER gonna pass believability !! ... the ultimate and most valid statement in the entire film... 'any man not craving to make love to this unbelievable woman every available minute of every day would have to be gay'..

Desertman84 La mujer de mi hermano,The Wife Of My Brother in English,is a Mexican film based on the novel of the same title by the Peruvian writer, journalist and TV host Jaime Bayly,who also wrote the script. It features Bárbara Mori, Manolo Cardona, Christian Meier and Angélica Aragón.It was directed by Ricardo de Montreuil.Zoe is a beautiful woman who has been married to Ignacio for nearly a decade. While Zoe still loves her husband, she feels the spark has gone out of their relationship, and she's become restless and anxious. Hoping to find the excitement she craves in forbidden fruit, Zoe falls into an affair with Gonzalo, Ignacio's rough-edged but handsome brother. Zoe and Gonzalo's passionate affair is deeply satisfying to them both, but the adulterous couple must deal with the sharp sting of betrayal when Ignacio finds out they've been sleeping together.Far from realistic, the film's shallow characters' sexual escapades and heaving passion are the only interesting aspect of particularly with the sexy and gorgeous Barbara Mori. The movie's sensational glimpse into a wealthy Mexican family's business, at its best or any other story about a love triangle between family members as well as the marital strife presented are far too common in many Mexican films and this film adds nothing to it.But with clean and crisp cinematography, this modern rendition of a strict taboo provides nothing else but temporary entertainment but lacks sustenance.

tanguy116 Other reviewers said it. Well filmed but, at heart, this is no more than a telenovela. About as detached from the real world and as implausible. Child abuse, homosexuality, abortion, adultery - the film glides through it all, hardly making a wave. Zoe is pregnant but the father does not want to hear about it? No problem, her gay friend conveniently offers to be the father. Oh, that's settled, then.The actors are OK, no more. Mori is beautiful, very beautiful but one single facial emotion carries her throughout the film. To be fair, none of the actors has much of a character to work off. The gay friend is as cliché as if taken right from the Birdcage, but with no appearance of this being meant to be funny.The writer could also have paid more attention to details. The baby is called Juan Ignacio in the email sent to Gonzalo but his grandmother calls him Jose Ignacio in the following scene. Ignacio asks for Zoe Edwards at the hotel reception. They obviously know her by that name but the groom calls her Mrs. Berkley 5mn later.

junay01 I just saw La Mujer De Mi Hermano and I may sound a bit biased since I am a huge Barbara Mori fan, but as always I thought she was great...but the real treat here was Christian Meier, he really seems to have evolved as an actor with every character he does. The ending is a powerful one and all three actors come in true sync with their respective characters. This is the second film Meier has done, based on a Jaime Bayly character and here he hits a bang! All three main characters are subtle yet very effective with their portrayals..simply amazing, chic and sexy all throughout.I had a slight problem with the fact that sex was a little bit overdone...It somehow felt that some of the sex talk scenes took away from the actual story and felt more like a filler than to have any substantial purpose. This was one of the main reasons I would rate this movie a 7.5 out of 10...It was a great movie that had a great pacing for the surprise finale and I was a bit baffled about one of the character's actions after he discovers something very significant to the story (which I will not give away.) Manolo Cardona was also great and the imperfections of his character came alive through the screen.I did not see this movie with subtitles so I am not sure what non-Spanish speaking folks read, but I do have to say that it is understandable why many American critics will slander this film. Is because they don't understand that Hispanic films don't deal with some of the American topics on film in a daily basis. Americans and Europeans make tons of films about rape, incest, murder and every possible sick thing imaginable, which is why it might seem like a joke that something like La Mujer De Mi Hermano will cause marvel to the Hispanic audience. Spanish-speaking films seldomly deal with these topics and do not have such a big history with sleek, smart & taboo films, so they should definitely take that into consideration when rating the film.Overall, I felt as I needed more...More thought-provoking dialogue, but it did justice to the Jaime Bayly novels, which rather speak for themselves rather than providing revolutionary sayings.
