I turned this movie off after 47 minutes. I really felt sort of sick to my stomach seeing where it was going, and seeing how it is apparently the favorite move of so many people. The main characters meet with the guy, Hugo, harassing the girl on the street, then again at a party he breaks into. Then he almost gets her killed by chasing the car in which she is riding with his little motorcycle gang, for no discernible reason. The "romantic" part of their relationship starts with him using her to make sure she doesn't denounce him to any legal authorities, as he is already supposed to go to prison for nearly beating someone to death, then goes and severely beats up other people in the meantime, never with any real reason. Oh and this guy is still sleeping with his actual girlfriend while the female lead, a high school student, is falling in love with him. I just didn't care at all what happened to any of the characters as they were completely undeveloped/the type of people I want to pretend don't exist. I am so sad that there are 2 sequels to this film, it makes me feel like humanity is devolving.
... View More(Could contain spoilers giving vague clues to main characters' general traits as well as general plot development, but nothing specific) It was a tip from a friend to watch it in original language and improve my Spanish, which I speak quite well. I did watch it in Spanish. I watched the first 10 minutes in utter disgust but thinking that a sudden plot change will logically lead to the main character's punishment by life/society/parents for being an unapologetic, disgusting, dangerous, sexually harassing anti-social violent testosterone- laden a-hole - a true "piece of manure". No, didn't happen. All characters are reduced to the most basic and frightening clichés - both girls and boys. Being a total jerk is glorified every second of this cheap movie. Sexist, sexist, sexist, it hurt so much to watch it. If you have any respect for women and common sense (which I hope you do), do not bother to watch this steaming pile of feces.
... View MoreWhat I don't understand is at what point do they start to love each other? This is not real love that makes you feel warm inside. This is a piece of s***. They are both drop dead gorgeous, they look at each other and Babi forgets whatever bullshit he did to her just because he's drop dead gorgeous and they fall in love only because they are beautiful. Honestly I was watching this and I thought, they must have skipped some months because these guys have nothing in common, nothing to bond over. We didn't see any meaningful dialogue between them. At WHAT POINT, and WHY are they deeply in love? This movie is immature love at the most. I'm 16 but I just think at 18-21 people are more mature and should have deeper relationships? Maybe i would have liked this movie when i was 10. It's like a very young teens/child fantasy because it has no basis on reality or true love (sorry I keep mentioning this).Watch this movie if you want to kill brain cells. I liked the music at the start star for that. And it was entertaining, I didn't get bored (maybe at the end).
... View MoreThe guy treats the girl like sh't and she still falls for him. Really naive movie, it should have teach girls to never take this horrible treatment from guys and instead aim higher.I don't understand why people still make this kind of movies.what are we really telling girls? to accept this behavior and fight with other girls over guys that treats women like dogs? And what will it teach guys? to act like this to a girl and she will eventually fall for him? and why can't the guy mature by himself for once, why must women act like some babysitter and teach a grown man how to respect others?Just the same old macho bullsh't.
