Though it leaves you with a sad feeling at the end, it doesn't keep you depressed the whole way through. I'm sure very few people will regard this as a comedy, but it's filled with hilarious moments, mostly involving the explicit sexual conversations. We aren't simply thrown into this torrent of teenage decadence without a net. It's a slice-of-life story involving teens, and who's gonna deny that 80 percent of a teenager's life revolves around sex? The two main characters, though utterly repulsive in nature, aren't totally unsympathetic, like the characters in Larry Clark's "Kids." Through the narration, we get a sense of the characters' backgrounds and why they are the way they are. "Y Tu Mama Tambien" is much more sexually explicit than those two films put together, but it's in no way exploitative. I read an article about this movie and some have referred to this movie as a Mexican version of "American Pie." I believe the joke was that it should be called "Latin-American Pie." Now, I enjoyed the "AP" movies, and don't believe them to be crappy movies, but they possess no depth and substance.
