CGiii Comment

Definitely not one of his best - it does have all his trademarks...but, there is something missing, a vital spark.

The energy is sporadic - as for the comedy, there is none.

This almost reeks of an Almodovar-wannabe film, unfortunately it is an Almodovar film - one that he should keep hidden in the closet.

Sorry Pedro. You can't win them all.

The(ir) Blurb...

Ricky is released from a mental hospital, and knows exactly what he wants to do. He hunts down Marina, a porn film star he once had sex with, and tries to convince her to be his wife. She is a bit reluctant, so he ties her up. Will this approach endear him to her?
