Well worth watching
This is a good film - not great - but worth seeing at least once. And it IS a film - not a movie. For those sharp enough to pick them up, it's full of symbolism and wonderful contrasts, driven by the relationship between the two protagonists and best friends, and the older woman they meet.

Once you get used to the style of the film it soon becomes addictive. I couldn't take my eyes off it. There is a gentleness about it, and some poignant and meaningful statements about human life linger just below the surface narrative of sex and adolescent self-discovery.

Unlike some reviewers here, I don't find the sight of two teenage boys kissing each other offensive, and so am not willing to damn the film because of its homo-erotic content. This makes it realistic - not a terrible quality in a film.

Great coming of age movie
Don't get tied up in the sex thing. While its definitely a sultry, sexy movie - this movie is a great depiction of the way that friends grow up and apart.

I think a lot of people are bashing on this movie for being too erotic, and even a bit homo-erotic. Seems just like its being honest to me. Highly recommended. (though probably not the movie to watch with your mom, grandmom, conservative co-workers)

it's an okay movie, and not all about sex
Luisa did not go on the road trip to get revenge on her unfaithful husband. She loved him, but she wanted to make the most of her time. Better to spend it on a road trip with some teenagers than wondering who her husband was seeing while she was sitting at home. The last sex scene wasn't a threesome--as Luisa said, they could have sex with each other, but not her, which is what she steered them towards.

I think it's about two kids learning to choose something other than instant gratification--not caring who they sleep with, what they do, or how they spend the rest of their lives. Their time with Luisa teaches them to take things more seriously, which doesn't happen until the end (there are lots of little things along the way, but that's obviously the final blow).

Of course, if you're trying to decide whether or not to buy this movie, you totally shouldn't be reading these reviews. They're so varied--stick to the synopsis, trailer, or real-life recommendations.
