Café solo o con ellas (2007)
Typical but entertaining
Although it is as the person previous stated, 'a typical Spanish movie', it did have it's good jokes, and it was definitely funnier then ANY of the 'American Pie' movies - Some of the jokes are too personal to the country to be understood by foreigners, which is why this film would never be a success anywhere else (ie. The grandmother's love for Franco). The film did have some implicit sex scenes, but that is only because the Spanish film industry (as well as Spanish people) is very comfortable with sex and showing sex on television and film, it is not 'behind closed doors' as American films are with sex. It definitely isn't a GOOD film (after all, what movie that belongs to this genre can be called a 'good' film), but it is entertaining.

Thoughts
I have just seen the movie at a screening, and I thought it was very well made. The trailers did no do Leonardo DiCaprio's acting justice, since it seemed that his accent was not accurate, but after listening to the rest of the cast and their accents, DiCaprio's is actually surprisingly accurate. The funny part about the film is that it seems to be one of the few DiCaprio films where he doesn't take his clothes off. It seems to me that Hollywood has such an attraction to the physical side of a player that they distract the viewer from the acting and the storyline by adding love scenes etc. something which this film did not have any of. The film was beautifully shot, with amazing establishing shots, which at certain points, although beautiful, made the movie appear to be too long. Overall, the acting was great and the film was well shot. The storyline was accurate and realistic, mainly because of the lack of a love scene (which obviously seems unnecessary, but many filmmakers would have included).
