Whether or not you have ever lived in Madrid, this movie is worth seeing.From putting his father out on the street to beg to stealing old ladies' panties, Torrente shows his true colors as a scumbag all the way through. He is loyal to no one except himself.
Some of the humor is very typically Madrid, such as the making fun of Catalonians and the continual support the fans give of the Athlético de Madrid soccer team. Even so, the English subtitles on this movie are actually quite good - I was impressed how they translated some unique Spanish slang.
Film critics, on the whole, did not favor this movie. This movie is not a serious film, people, so just get ready for raunchy laughs.
Also, don't forget to see Torrente 2: Misión in Marbella. Se pasa aún más.
