I just Saw "7 Dias"(7 Days) for the second time and me and my friends just loved it. What is going on with Mexican cinema this days? Gonzales Inarritu, Cuaron, Del Toro, Monteverde, and now this little gem.The movie grabs you so fast in the beginning that half way in it, I didn't realized that I was also reading sub-tittles. (It seems that sub-tittles is the new trend, ha?)The story is as simple as an underdog rock promoter that wants to get out of mediocrity and comes up with the idea of taking to a small city in northern Mexico "U2", the biggest band on earth. (But this is Mexico remember not the "staples center".)That Is the tip of the iceberg in a story that really is about life or dead decisions, friendship, and most important growing up ( Even harder in a country that opportunities are not the everyday commodity.) And this is a comedy!!! ....And you laugh!!! ...How cool is that?Don't expect to see a lot of "U2", because the band is just an excuse for the story. Not the movie by itself. But everything is so well done that becomes a wonderful and delightful experience. The photography, the art,the locations, are very interesting and peculiar. The score and the music is so moving that I even got the soundtrack from amazon.The actors are great!!!! A multilayered middle class hero "Claudio caballero", is incredibly played by Eduardo Arroyuelo, who is sooooooooooooo hot! that no doubt he is the new Antonio Banderas, being a blend between Antonio, Johnny Depp and Orlando bloom, (if you can picture that!) Eduardo is the star in the movie and it's amazing how subtle and elegant he plays the character, blowing me away in the end where ( wins or not, I'm not telling you, and doesn't matter) he as an actor makes the most amazing choice revealing an universal truth about success, "The world changes, you don't".The other character "Tony" played by Jaime Camil (An other hottie!!) takes the comedic relief by showing the other face of the coin of a Mexican mafia member, as well as being the perfect sidekick for Arroyuelo. They both together work and look great!!!I can't wait to see it again, this is the type of movie that is worth my dollars and my minutes... If Mexicans are doing these I'll stick to the Mexicans!!! Or if I have to be patriotic and wait and see the Hollywood remake; God! please just tell them to keep Eduardo!!!!!!!

**** this contain some spoiler about argument*** I couldn't say that is a Oscar winning movie but I liked, th story is simple like life in the bottom that's the message of the movie, life is simple do what you have to do, Claudio Caballero finds himself in a pretty fat trouble, only to probe that he could do a big concert like his older brother used to organize.In the process he will meet Tony Zamacona son of a local gangster which he makes a bet on a soccer game, when Claudio loose the bet Tony's father gives him 7 Days to get the money... But when Tony knows Claudios plan about bring to Monterrey a Concert Date of U2's Vertigo Tour Tony convince his father for support him but the deadline stills the same 7 days money, concert or Claudio's life.Tony will show Claudio the true meaning about CARPE DIEM in his own point of view, Tony is a young man whom has three laws in his life, have a great meal (20 or more Tacos) Have a great sex with his girlfriend (sex is the best exercise in world) and finally make a big fat s**t. And above all this exists his devotion to the biggest band of world (U2).So this two forced friends became the best friends.The movie has a good soundtrack, the photography is cool with some strange view angles but it helps to tell the story.But I must insist the movie is simple Life is too.

Awful, horrible, stupid movie. The main question here is why this guys got up from their beds and got into making a film that is actually made for retarded people. With all respect to the retarded, who cares about this rich superficial and mediocre people, why would anybody will enjoy seeing this? People who support this movies are completely out of touch with their brains and probably their hearts. I would say to anybody who is thinking of watching this film. Don't! this film is made by stupid rich people who in no way represent this country. Welthy individuals who tough it was a cool idea to make a film about the way rich people spent their stupid life. Another good reason for the revolution.

Why? That's just the question, why somebody gave this people the money to shoot this "film"? Why U2 let them use their music? Why someone actually believes that Jaime Camil could be an actor? Why does this piece of **** exists??... There is a wave in Mexican cinema. They are shooting easy going plots to raise money. But they have two problems: one, the stories are simply awful, and therefore they are wasting some great stories about our country, plots that are waiting to be told...Siete Días is probably one of the worse movies of all time...and nobody seems to notice that... Why? i have no idea...i just want to go to a movie theatre in my country and watch good stories, about our cities, our towns, our people. There are exceptions, of course, but in general, we are wasting the opportunity to tell the great story of actual Mexico... What a Shame...Shame on Fernando Kalife, Shame on the Producers...
