| Original Score: 2/5 | May 6, 2006

Here's a 'steamy' soap opera that's never very steamy, and if you set your expectations low, this movie is only too happy to meet them.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 5, 2006

With one-dimensional characters stuck in a plot that gives them nothing noteworthy to do, only the most superficial aspects remain to be admired: the attractive cast, their attractive clothes and the attractive houses in which they live.

| Original Score: C- | May 5, 2006

Soapy, sappy, silly and sluggish, La Mujer de Mi Hermano (My Brother's Wife) is one of those issue movies that wants to cram every hot topic it can think of into a melodramatic situation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 29, 2006

90 minutes of wheezing emotional flare-ups, played with such straight-faced sobriety that I wanted to slap these people and tell them all to lighten up

You could dismiss this swankily shot Latin American trifle as an upscale soap opera, but that would be an insult to soap operas.

| Original Score: C | Apr 19, 2006

There's also a tiresome, warmed-over feel to all the revelations -- one of which, a whopper, is never really resolved -- and the flat dialogue and one-dimensional characters make it impossible to care.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 14, 2006

Repressed desire! A sultry soap-opera star! Incest! Gay politics! La Mujer de Mi Hermano has it all. Now if it only had a decent plot.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 14, 2006

You've seen hotter stuff on Oxygen.
