Provocative but poignant Mexican road movie in which two teenage boys with worldly aspirations, Tencoh (Diego Luna) and Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) decide to make the long trek to a legendary beach party. Along the way they encounter the very attractive Luisa (Maribel Verdu), unhappily married to Tenoch's older cousin, and who lends a sexually charged atmosphere to the trip. Beautifully shot and tightly wound by its director, 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' unfolds at a smart pace, which thankfully never sacrifices wit or character development. While it routinely bounces between an extremely funny sex comedy and melodrama, 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' is a very accomplished piece of work - never overstepping the mark in either genre, and ensuring that the ultimate message of the film makes as great an impact as possible. See it.
