Cast

Production

The film was produced by Lolafilms and MTV Films Europe in association with Intuition Films, and it had the participation of TVE and Canal+.[2] It boasted a €3.6 million budget.[4]

Release

Distributed by United International Pictures (UIP),[2] the film was released theatrically in Spain on 23 July 2004. It was the second largest-grossing Spanish film at the domestic box office in 2004.[5]

Reception

Casimiro Torreiro of El País warned that "its coarse comic tone, its gutted humor, and its textbook patriarchalism make this film strictly inadvisable for sensible spirits".[6]

Jonathan Holland of Variety assessed that the "desperately unimaginative script is compensated for by cast's obvious determination to have a good time and thesps' marquee power".[2]
