Rating: Q=6, P=6 / Average OJ
Scale 1=3, Scale 2=3, Scale 3=3, Scale 4=3

Comedy, Light-hearted, Witty, Character Film
 
I love that Almodovar decided to make a purely funny, ridiculous film without serious themes or complicated relationships. His last film, The Skin I Live In, was almost traumatic for me to watch (I still loved it, though). This one is far less challenging for viewers. Flirty, silly, melodramatic in all the corny and good ways. If you want something light that makes you smile, but still serves up all the Almodovar craziness, this is it.
