Oceans's Eleven meets Alex de la Iglesia
fpiquero31 December 2007
Another example of the wonderful things Venezuelan film makers are doing today. Very black humour, smart comments by NO NAME (Cimarro) I'm not going to comment about the plot in order to not spoil the fun. It is very remarkable and enjoyable the character played by former soap operas bad guy Jorge Palacios as "Tio Andre". It's about a team of "Puras Joyitas"(something like charming spoiled guys) liderized by NO NAME hired by "Tio Andre" to steal the crown of the most important beauty contest of this country: Miss Venezuela.The plot is a little confusing at times but all get well explained at the end. All in all I give it an 8 out of 10.

Puras Joyitas
Tinirix16 January 2008
Well first do not expect the next academy award winner if you haven't seen the movie, for me it was OK, some acting are really good and some other could be better, the story is different from the normally boring Venezuelan film makers and it's a cool proposal to begin with new proposal for Latin American movies and no to continue with the same old stories, It's cool for this community if they have seen the film to make comments for other people to know what to expect and not to be disappointed. I don't regret of watching it, the only thing is that the film makers in a interview said that there was a surprise at the end of the credits but in Cines Unidos Valencia took the movie off before the end of the credits and didn't let the credits to finish. please don't forget and leave your comment.

A Stark Raving Mad Venezuelan version...
plinacevedo7 July 2008
This movie is the Venezuelan version of Stark Raving Mad (2002) of Drew Daywalt & David Schneider (with Sean William Scott). But i this case is a copy not a franchise like Taxi of Luc Beson. A Venezuela screenwriter did a scrip based up to the 2002 American movie five years after.

Maybe it have a good screening an a little bit of humor, but remains the strange characters, the "talk to the camera" act of the leading role, and the funny gang. Even the clothes and the haircuts looks so similar.

yeah i loved the garage full of Mustangs of Mario Cimarro, Scott doesn't have one.

But in a few words: ITS A COPY
