Bad Romance

Warning: Spoilers
To start with this opinion, first I am going to say what the whole movie is about.

The film introduces us to two characters Paula (Paola Olivera) and Roberto (Reynaldo Gianecchini), both are in a Bar, for different reasons Paula is at her bachelorette party and Roberto has just had a marital crisis, in the middle of the Bar they are they give them some daring looks, and then watch them dance together, in a simple way this is the prologue, then they go to a motel where they take off their clothes and have sex in a frantic way, after that adventure, they both have a short conversation about what do to take a woman to a sexual adventure, after that Paula wants to leave but Roberto has no intention of leaving especially because he is in the company of Paula, after a conversation that turned into an argument, however they reconcile and have sex passionate. Then they spend most of their time talking about their intimate life, their social life, their jobs, their dreams, their respective partners, their perspective on religion, death, the future. Ro, love relationships and sex, at the same time Roberto gives Paula a card with his name and phone number, while Paula and Roberto talk or hang out together they make a pact that they will not see each other again and that tonight will be unique among them, after a long conversation about "sexual satisfaction", they both dance like striptis, then they go back to having passionate sex, then Paula and Roberto realize that they are both falling in love, then they both have an argument about it, but reconciles, then they spend a while talking about the supposed love they have just meeting and plan to escape all conflicts, after Paula takes a bath, Roberto taking advantage of this, romantically decorates the motel room where they are, apparently both They are happy, however both Paula and Roberto receive a call from their respective partners, where they both argue again, since Roberto wants to reconcile with his wife, but Paula wanted to stay With him, after a somewhat strong argument, both decide to return with their respective partners, after that decision they return to have passionate sex (for the last time), they dress and both Paula tearfully and Roberto leave the room, where they say "You always remember tonight."

The movie ends with Paula in a taxi, crying when she sees a card that Roberto gave her.

Honestly, this movie from its premise fails considerably. In the first place, it is something unlikely that two people fall in love at first sight, added to the fact that both intimately indulge in having sex together, (at least 4 or 6 times), another very negative point of the film is that their dialogue is quite banal, the relationship between the two characters separately is quite absurd since they literally argue, reconcile and have sex, in the case of the sexual scenes they are nothing to write home about, since the two actors never feel that they have real sex apart from Reynaldo Gianecchini spending most of the movie in underwear while half or less than half of Paola Olivera in lingerie or only covers the upper body, the positive points that I could find in this movie is that at least the chemistry between the actors is very good, the performances are decent, the setting and the background are also decent, but regardless this movie is very mediocre, even more so with that ending quite ambiguous.

Moves slower than a one-sided frog

After the intro scene, it's just two people. They talk a lot, but don't say much. Add a few short not really sex scenes with minimal only incidental nudity and that's the movie. One hour and 27 minutes later when the credits roll, after thinking the plot has to develop into something but doesn't, you realize your mistakes. I would try to explain further, but there really is nothing else to add. Skip this one.
