In a flight from Spain to Mexico, the pilots and crew are bi-sexual or gay and all have sex problems. When they learn that the landing gear is stuck, they try to find an airport for an emergency landing. A few passengers discover that they may die and some of them contact their families; others have sex.
"Los amantes pasajeros" is an unfunny and disappointing comedy by Pedro Almodóvar. The storyline is silly; the characters and non-likable and not funny; most of the jokes are about sex among gays. The cameo of Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz is limited to a couple of minutes only to give their names to the credits. The most impressive is that after 90 minutes running time, I was unable to laugh. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Os Amantes Passageiros" ("The Passengers Lovers")
