Review of The Other Side of the Bed (2002) by Donovan D — 23 Feb 2008
Not bad Spanish Sex Comedy Musical. The Other Side of the Bed was apparently one of the top-grossing Spanish films of the 03, and I can see why: its blend of an attractive cast (especially Paz Vega), open European sexuality and the musical is a crowd-pleasing combination that is largely inoffensive and unchallenging.
While these characteristics made it an instant hit, they also work to lessen the film's chance at a lasting impact. In a lot of ways the plot felt like something we've all seen before countless times, and while the incorporation of musical elements was novel, it was only novel because this was a Spanish film - if this were in Hindi it would seem like standard fare.
All in all, I enjoyed the film - it wasn't exactly a chore - but it wasn't particularly distinguished either.
