in what appear an attempt to mix drama and comedy and manuel gomez pereira make this film and thing that make life worthwhile . it be not an original discovery and by many voice you have ( quite off the pitch and by the way ) and but it depart somewhat from the norm in the spanish cinema . the downside be that the element form the film be poorly combine and and while some point be not well develop and others be out of place . a day in the life of two people close to the median age . it basically what the movie gómez pereira . jorge ( eduard fernandez ) be a stationary ( parado ) one which and despite load on your back with a drama major and seem willing to see thing change . only this explain his commitment to a minor could mean a turning point in it existence . in line with audrey tautou of long dating ( jean pierre jeunet and 2004 ) and jorge say thing like this to herself represent if i find a coin before the corner that be now go to change my luck . of course it find it and begin to play today could be a great day ( hoy puede ser un gran dia ) by joan manuel serrat and in a few cross on it way hortensia ( ana belen ) . she be another woman entry age and divorce and a little lonely . take valeriana for sleep and organizes birthday party a an exemplary mother and say her belief in god and lead to a speed of homicidal mother . hortensia be a woman of many contradiction in his behavior and life be go in his head drive data a 70 % of people fall in love only once in a lifetime and say although it be short of jorge and unemployed and do not preclude the possibility that it be a sadistic sleeping in his shoulder in the cinema at the early opportunity . later come a communion and a dance in the luxurious wedding banquet and the back of a car and other thing that player seem to live unique experience like that but end up do quite heavy for the viewer . thing that make life worthwhile debate between u be the drama of two adult person who have no other that lead them to see where their strange relationship and and conversely and make u take the case a a comedy and focus on thing like a chinese singing at a wedding ( which seem to be amuse in itself ) or the gait of a drunk person . the problem be that it do not leave u time to connect with the player and therefore we can not identify with the dramatic and and not give u a solid base comic too and leave everything except pure joke . in the end and all mixed in a way that the viewer no longer know very well whether to laugh or mourn and and end up not do either . and it be true that something be not see a thousand time and be not the kind of film that we find to bend every corner and but it be not sufficiently different or special a we want to do . ana belén ( which apparently far less than the 53 year that have in this film ) and eduard fernandez be two actor who be very enjoyable to see working and but this time it seem ready or comfortable enough in scene that require him to break the calm that prevail in the film and so in moment like the accident with the child of the bar thing seem to be slip from their hand . perhaps a very dramatic change that have to do and but that be no excuse to lower our guard . in any case and both interpreter be erect easily the highlight of the function . thing that make life worthwhile work only up to the modest level of entertainment . any claim that be beyond that point have not be fulfil and a a romantic comedy or dramatic a that and we presume and they want to do and can not afford to have little moment finish successful ( beyond bad ) a that in which one of the character talk and laugh and lose drunk and compare to a boy who remain in a coma in part because of him . neither do much for people like rosario pardo and make the typical friend launch whose big contribution to the film be the phrase must be screw over and and song from the soundtrack and though significant and not just fit . it be true that the film by manuel gomez pereira have it hit ( some of the moment involve jose sacristan ) and but the whole be a anodyne story and a film with good intention and a nice result when the good .
