Product Description:
"Two thumbs way up" ("Ebert & Roeper and the Movies")!

But one summer the boys learn more about life than they bargain for when they set off on a wild cross-country road trip with seductive 28-year-old Luisa. Both boys taste forbidden fruit as Luisa schools them in the finer points of passion but will their mutual desire for her destroy their friendship forever?Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: LATIN/DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 027616879677 Manufacturer No: 1003846

Plenty of juicy "s" words apply to And Your Mother Too: sexy, sweet, subtle, sad, surprising, superb... and did we say sexy? With enough male and female nudity to qualify as softcore porn--but deserving none of the stigma attached to that label--this vibrant coming-of-age road movie is guaranteed to jumpstart any viewer's libido. Frank treatment of its characters' burgeoning sexuality makes this unrated film a real eye-opener, but it's never prurient or juvenile. Rather, the three-way odyssey of two 17-year-old Mexican boys (Gael GarcÃa Bernal, Diego Luna) and a 28-year-old Spanish beauty (Maribel Verdú) is energetic and affirmative, while acknowledging that relationships--and sexual adventures--rarely develop without a hitch or two (or three). Filmed in sequence by Alfonso Cuarón (Great Expectations), and shot with invigorating natural style, this refreshing comedy-drama employs an omniscient narrator to reflect upon precious stolen moments, weaving three lives into a memorable tapestry of fun, friendship, and fate. --Jeff Shannon

- Mexican boys road trip
I love Mexico and have spent time at some of the beaches that are shown here...so I really enjoyed seeing the country and its people.The story is fun to see unfold; it felt very real to me.
I think that the reason I didn't give it five stars was that there was sooo much gratutitous adolescent boy sex that I was glad when it ended.Perhaps because I am a female, I'm just not as amused or entranced by it. It was well done and funny at times...just so much of the film was about sex ... Read More

It was an entertaining movie. I was tense during the movie, expecting some horrible event while they were traveling by car to remote places. I must say I was happy that nothing bad happened. The armed police or guerilla-like people on the road side made me unueasy.
It is definetely not a "must see movie."

- Not sure I agree this mainly a 'coming of age' or 'road movie'
I see "Y Tu Mama Tambien" as so outrageously and unremittingly libidinous as to put it outside the realm of a routine "road movie" or "coming-of-age" movie.
Most coming of age movies ("Summer of '42," "The Last Picture Show") tend to show a slightly older woman showing a youngster the ropes.
"Y Tu Mama Tabien" has randy teenagers, yes, but they not shy and repressed by any stretch. Julio and Tenoch are spectacularly frank and uninhibited with the slightly older, unhappily ... Read More
Rating: - Purchased as a gift
I purchased this as a gift for my (adult) daughter. I didn't see the movie, but she was very happy with it.
Rating: - To Really Live!
I bought this one at a yard sale over the summer, having remembered that it received some good reviews.(Plus I have a foreign film fetish, so even though it was on VHS, I bought it.)
Whooo man, it is a goodie!
The story centers around 3 people, two best friends and one beautiful slightly older, woman.
Just after high school, Tenoch and Jose's girlfriends head off to Europe for the summer. But that's okay, the boys are looking for some foot loose and fancy free ... Read More
