Review of I'm So Excited! (2013) by Tvjerry — 10 Aug 2013

Pedro Almodóvar is an accomplished and versatile director ("Women on the Verge," "Volver," "Talk to Her"). With this film he's moving away from serious subjects back to his zany days, but not to great effect.

Almost all of the action takes place on a plane, where 3 very gay flight stewards tend to the pilots and the smattering of passengers in business class. There are unrealistic situations, silly dialogue and lots of homo affairs (including the film's highlight: the lip synch of the titular Pointer Sisters song).

While it's sometimes fun, the unfocused structure and inane situations don't work. It's over the top in every way, except good.
