Y tu Mama Tambien is alot of things: Sexy, Poignant, funny, sad, vibrant, honest, life-affirming, and in my opinion it is one of the best films of the 2000's. I remember I saw this film on the IFC channel a few years back when I was 16, and I was completly shocked by it. I remember having very mixed feelings about it, and associated it to soft core porn. After revisiting Y tu Mama Tambien again, I can say that my comment was idiotic. But in my own defense it is understandable for people to have these thoughts when only childish views of sex are allowed in this country, while any sort of honesty towards the subject is met with scrutiny and the NC-17 stamp by the MPAA (Or The league of Old Homophobic conservatives). In my honest opinion, their so called "protect our children's minds against sexuality but not violence" ideologies has done way more harm then good.
Now that I've matured a tad, I have to say the film has become one of my favorites. It is a beautiful journey that this film takes us through and everytime it ends I just want to start it over again. The Acting is exceptional from all of the leads, and there are so many layers to this film that you could view it countless times before finding them all. But when it comes down to it, the film is about life. How it can be sweet, vibrant, but also sad and bitter. But it's always worth living through. I think it's a shame that films like this can't be made here, while we have idiotic trash clogging up the cinemas. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Too much sex. After a while it gets on your nerves.
The blatant rip-off of Jules et Jim, though, in the form of the voice-over narrator, is very interesting. Unlike the narrator in Jules et Jim, who simply states what is going on, this narrator is completely omniscient. He tells us things about the characters that they don't know about each other, for instance that Tenoch always lifts the toilet seat with his foot at Julio's house, and Julio will never know this.
As their car passes a cross beside the road, the narrator says "If they had passed this spot fifteen years ago, they would have seen a few chickens. If they had passed it five years ago, they would have seen an overturned truck, many bloody chickens, two dead bodies, and a women wailing inconsolably." This explains the cross by the side of the road.
After their last meeting for coffee in Mexico City, the narrator says, "They will never meet again." This is interesting.
