Amar te duele (2002)
2/10
Mexican Romeo and Juliet
18 May 2011
Amar te duele is a Mexican romeo and juliet, except that every character is over the top and cartoonish. I don't think the director heard of subtlety before. Early on every body falls in their given roles. We are quickly told who are the bad guys we are supposed to hate, and who are good guys we are supposed to like.

This movie which is already bad is made worse by cheap tricks. It is as if it is directed as a college project and the director is trying to show off, by randomly changing between black and white and color, using colored filters and even using low resolution cameras. Some times tricks like this can be really good, but for this you have to have a very good and different movie as a backbone so the people don't reject these effects as gimmicks.

You have better things to do with your life then spend it watching this clunker.
