I'm So Excited! Reviews
It may not be artistically stylish to accommodate fans of Almodóvar's more acclaimed films, but the amoral characters and the quick-witted dialogue are enough to shock and entertain.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 25, 2019
An interesting entry into Almodóvar's body of work.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 19, 2019
A bawdy, trifling, absurd breath of fresh air that sees the auteur return to zany high camp territory.

Has Almodóvar's filthy comedic mind lost its edge during his extended respite? No-his edge is sharp, and he's still fiendishly provocative, no question. He had me constantly shaking my head in disbelief at the dirty things he got me to laugh at.
| Original Score: 7.8/10 | Apr 12, 2019
Enough bravado camerawork, soapy intrigue and Spanish piquancy to draw you in, before spitting you out in globule of foam, mescaline and who knows what else.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 25, 2019
I'm So Excited! is a bit repetitive, but it's unashamedly frivolous and often very funny.
| Feb 22, 2019
It's thin, banal, boring, unwitty and, if satirical, then poorly satirical, and poorly satire is no good to anyone.

Any resemblance to an outrageous Mexican telenovela wears off when the movie stalls and resorts to cheap shocks.
| Aug 30, 2018
A comedy without any laughs...
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 18, 2018
I'm So Excited! isn't very good. In fact, it's close to terrible.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 31, 2017
A ribald, ridiculous party in the sky, I'm So Excited is basically Almodvar's Soul Plane-and I mean that as a compliment.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 25, 2017
A very regressive transition for this Oscar-winning filmmaker.
| Original Score: D | Sep 7, 2017
Here's a good rule of thumb: never trust anything bearing an exclamation mark.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 5, 2017
I'm So Excited is so strongly problematic and yet resolutely without much to facilitate worthwhile discussion.
| Original Score: C | Aug 8, 2016
I'm So Excited is far from perfect, but as far asmost summer comedies go, the film is more open and accepting of various sexualities and is mostly light-hearted fun-excluding a couple profoundly distasteful scenes.

Seeing I'm So Excited, a return to comic form for the director, is like downing the cocktail the passengers and crew drink in the movie without having to come down from that high later.
| Mar 21, 2016
The entertainment factor it delivers is as high and pixilated as it's whacked-out, crazy characters.
| Jun 27, 2014
For a light and naughty festival opener, I'm So Excited! got the job done. The audience saw something kind of sophisticated but didn't experience any real turbulence. Or excitement.

"I'm so Excited" shows Pedro Almodovar at his frothiest: shaking sex and death into a humorous cocktail aboard a plane in peril.

Think Flying High with a gay cabin crew and no laughs...The story has most of the plane's passengers rendered unconscious, presumably by showing I'm So Excited as the in-flight movie.
