SOME SPOILERS:
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. A stylishly shot, fashionable and well directed film, it was also a fine commentary on contemporary Spain, covering many issues that have arisen in that country. All that, however, was incidental to the main storyline which concerned the mothers (and fathers)of six sons who really did not want their sons to marry another man, despite their pretensions to the contrary. The women stole the film obviously, particularly the one with the sexual addiction and the lady from Argentina who has brought her Old English Sheepdog to the wedding of the six sons.(sorry, I can't remember their names off-hand) The story is complex but easy to follow, the guys were a delight to watch and the characters warm and believable. The passion of modern Spain is still there and the acceptance of modern life commendable. Well worth watching.
