Amor de Hombre

Summary: Almodovar Lite
Review: This perfectly enjoyable but somewhat forgettable movie is Almodovar Lite. If you like that previously-quirky-and-now-more-serious Spanish director, then you'll find "Amor de Hombre" a good way to pass the time.

The story is very simple: A rather immature, attractive gay man claims he wants a relationship, but all his actions indicate otherwise. This causes exasperation in his female bosom buddy, who can't seem to find a straight man of her own. That's about it. It's well made, though, and has some funny moments.

I'd recommend these other films of a similar type more highly: Italy's "His Secret Life" (extremely good - read my review for that one), Brazil's "Possible Loves" (a "Sliding Doors" concept, with excellent performances) and Spain's "Km. 0" (not perfect, but charming).
