| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 19, 2004

Elvira, Sol, and Jimena -- named for women in the life of El Cid -- are so spoiled and blind to their mother's happiness that they're often thoroughly unpleasant.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 3, 2004

A sometimes cloying mix of screwball comedy and drama.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 13, 2004

Less side-splitting than a sad reminder of the past.

| Jul 9, 2004

Offers some pleasures along the way, including an engaging performance by Leonor Watling.

Full Review | Jun 24, 2004

Despite the promise of its title, this is a movie that skirts the issues of gay relationships at every turn.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2004

My Mother Likes Women wants keenly to be hip and modern, but really it's just an old-fashioned drawing-room comedy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 18, 2004

No matter how hard My Mother Likes Women tries to be witty and insightful, it emerges Almodvar Lite.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 17, 2004

The film and its star, Watling, could not be more off-putting.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 3, 2004

My Mother Likes Women will make you smile and feel generously enlightened at the same time.

It may be the most heterosexually minded film about lesbians ever made.

Full Review | Jun 2, 2004

It's trying so hard to be a crowd-pleaser that it never stops to think that you might want to find its characters' behavior believable.

Corny and forgettable.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 21, 2004

There's a strong heart beating beneath the foolishness and one wonderful performance from Leonor Watling.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 21, 2004

The fizz of playful sexual anarchy bubbles like spiked ginger ale through the comedy, whose two stars are veterans of recent Pedro Almodvar films.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2004

This first Spanish feature helmed by two women sidesteps the over-earnestness or high camp that hallmark so much gay-themed Hispanic cinema, and also provides the best showcase so far for actress-to-watch Leonor Watling.

| May 18, 2004

Leonor Watling ... plays the spectacularly neurotic middle daughter with dizzying abandon and single-handedly saves the day.
