Advantages: a funny film with loads of sex, drugs, and alcohol Disadvantages: not for prudes!
A couple of weeks ago, 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' was playing in my university's film series. I'd never seen the cinema so packed. Hundreds of students packed the auditorium and dozens more queued outside. No doubt everyone had heard that this film features a lot of sex. That's certainly why my friends and I turned up!
A lot of people assume that if a film is in a foreign language, it is sophisticated art appropriate for people of all ages. My grandparents' ...

Advantages: A thoughtful film Disadvantages: Those subtitles
Much has been made of the sexual content of this film and yes, it’s probably not something you would want to watch with your parents in the room.

Awesome movie.. erotic yet with a storyline... one to watch with your betterhalf, not your parents!!
Basically.. the story line is that there are two teenage guys, plenty of testoterone, until their girlfriends decide to travel around Europe.. the guys are left to entertain themselves, and end up going on a road trip with an older woman, who has recently split with her husband... the hormones rage in the car until the woman takes advantage of the ...
