Why should I care if she is fat...
edu-227 November 2003
"Why should I care if she is fat, I don't want her for race-running." - Rodolfo Zapata

This is a movie built around Rodolfo Zapata working class easy-going quasi-folklore songs; mainly the one providing the title and "We are not going to work today"

9/10
A fantastic movie of the old argentinean cinema.
dasa10813 February 2024
There was a time when family films were made in Argentina. That cinema had innocence, likeable characters, careful production, large mobilizations of extras and catchy music since those were times of actors who could sing and dance. Rodolfo Zapata was an Argentine singer who knew how to dance malambo very well (he was Mirtha Legrand's double) and with this particular song he achieved immortality. It is a film that exudes naivety but on the other hand transmits values from a time that will not return but that are especially dear. It is good cinema, the kind that does you good, the kind that makes you smile and gives you joy. Seeing her is really a great pleasure.
