Don't waste a second watching this crap. Extremely boring. A self referential movie. The character plays the real actor that is himself, as if he were a kind of devalued, Latin, John Malcovich's "Being John Malcovich". The best you can do is picking another Spanish movie, there are a lot with good content or at least entertaining. Don't waste a second watching this crap. Bad performances. Bad script. Everything's bad. So painful, that one just can't found much words to complete the 10 lines required to post a review. I'm almost reaching the 9th line, but I can tell you anymore, just take my advice and you will gain time and won't get a headache after watching this crap

I have just watched this movie on a Latin channel here in Miami. I found it incredibly boring and full of overstretched nonsense dialogues that are as dumb as they can get. Even for an Argentine like me this Argentine movie was pointless so I can assume it is even more boring for non-Argentine viewers.I cannot think of a good reason why this movie was even made. I cannot stress enough how tedious the dialogues are (e.g.: "-It's strange two meet you twice in the same date. -It can happen. -But it's strange. -But it can happen. -But it's strange. -Yeah, but, you know, it can happen"). Enough said.No message, no plot. Invest your 72 minutes in something else.

I had the chance to see this movie at the Latin BEAT festival in New York City in 2003. I will not comment on the plot, there is almost no plot, but that it is a really well achieved portrayal of a Generation of young argentinians that wander. They don't have money, Argentina is bankrupted, and they have nothing to do on a Saturday. Indiferent whether the plan is to go out or stay at home, go for a drive or walk, there is nihilism all aver the movie and this can be annoying. It is not if you think that the movie was actually made by kids the generation of those depicted in the movie. If you saw Richard Linklater's "slacker", well, this is the new millennium argie version.

SPOILER"Sábado" is a nice little movie that didn´t had quite the success it deserved at the time of its release here in Argentina. So it´s not really likely that anyone outside Latin America will ever get a chance to see it, which is a shame.The movie depicts the wandering of six characters (three couples) through Buenos Aires one saturday afternoon. They ran into each other practically all the time, sometimes literaly (Daniel Hendler seems to crash his car at least twice in every movie he´s in), to the point that every single one of them has had a chat with any other, and most of the time without being aware of the relation. In the end, they all return to their lives one sunday morning and nothing has changed. The film thus shows the inner boredom of a certain class of young people in Buenos Aires.The juicy part is the dialogue. Every single piece of dialogue here is superb and extremely quotable. Villegas pays a lot of attention to the delivery of the speech and it shows: none of the characters says anything honest about himself but by the end we know them all very well just by the way they speak about stupid things. The camera, on the other hand, is very static and straight-forward (it almost never moves), which in a way fits the mood of the movie but becomes a little tiresome. If we have to summarize I´d say that the only flaw of "Sábado" is that of being a little too long -even with 76 minutes. We don´t need all those scenes to get the point that this is one empty existence. But it never gets downright boring so why even bother to point that out?
