9/10
Screwball comedy from Spain---.with all star cast.

Warning: Spoilers
Yes,This fast,furious, madcap comedy concerning a mass wedding of Same-sex(gay)couples.

The title refers to the mothers of a few of the guys. Carmen Maura is one of the mothers & to me she is a queen of Spanish cinema.

A few of the lads fathers are involved as well, Some naturally have misunderstanding emotions on there sons marrying men. Most importantly there is NO HATE expressed. h Also all the gays are quite masculine even though they may be gay.I wish we here in the USA made gay themed movies of this type

The acting by all is first rate,,the direction & other productions aspects are first rate.

Warner Bros. of Espana are the producers, even tho the Frere's Warner are longer here, They were known to film with very tight budgets. This may be a 2005 film. It is to the films credit that they did not go overboard on the production. Madcap screwball comedies do not need excessive production values. The film is quite sexual in nature but is not graphic at any point,the one nude scene is done naturally.

The film had a very skimpy theatrical run in 2006 in the States. It deserved better.

Rent this, you hopefully will like it as much as I did.
