Sexy comedy of another time, 8 January 2007
7/10

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

My vote comes strictly in the genre of sexy comedy not the overall quality. I'll be reviewing a few of these since they are selling everywhere and people need to be informed. This movie is set in 1991 in Mexico and it finds veteran comedy actor Alfonso Zayas playing a pact with the devil, which he must keep by having sex with a bevy of women. The women are on the higher end of the sexy comedy genre: Rosario Escobar is lithe and quite pretty, Jacaranda Alfaro is busty and has a womanly body (both show their attributes quite a bit). Lina Santos is oustanding and here's where the spoiler comes in. Santos a former local beauty queen, will parade in nighties and skimpy bikinis, but absolutely no nude or topless scenes. She made that deal early in her career. The plot is actually not bad as Zayas delivers some laughs, and Roberto Ballesteros who plays Santos character's husband is playing his usual devilish foil.This was perhaps the last well known sexy comedy that showed lots of nudity, after 1992, the sex would be implicit and the women kept their clothes on, as the powers to be in the Mexican cinema industry wanted to legitimatize the industry. Yet sexy comedies since their inception in the mid 1960s remain as popular as ever.

DVD has No English Sub-Titles, No English Track, 5 March 2006
2/10
Author: Bob YH from Ohio

I watched fifteen minutes of this DVD before I gave up. When I rented it, I did not notice the lack of English sub-titles or track. What I did see was a sexual farce on the old deal with the devil plot. The action and special effects somehow reminded me of Benny Hill, but without Benny's music. The movie focuses on a 5,000 year old man, Alonso. He made a deal with the devil to live 5,000 years. Alonso wants to have sex with as many women as possible. He tries to negotiate a new deal to live longer. I wish that they could add sub-titles to this DVD to make it more accessible. That it lacks the sub-titles leads me to doubt its overall value.
