Torrente 5 (2014)
6/10
Great Slapstick!
2 February 2015
I have never seen or heard of the Torrente movies saying that I cant compare them to the previous movies but I did enjoy this one. After reading some of the other reviews that were so negative and unjust, I just had to give my two cents! If your you're looking for a Critically-acclaimed award winning Movie, no this is not for you. If you want some almost painful to watch slapstick humor that will hurt your side from laughing like the three stooges then yes this is for you. Its like watching Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm, always setting him self up for failure. The viewer sees it coming a mile away and just enjoys seeing the comedic failure. It is a bit derogatory towards woman and misogynistic in my opinion but to me it shows the cultural differences on what is exceptable here in America versus Spain. (or the rest of the world for that matter) If a major movie company in America was this misogynistic in a comedy and not a drama, they would be shunned. Now I feel bad for enjoying the movie. I would have been just as (stupid) funny without the scenes I speak about. It is not OK to encourage or endorse this behavior. So I guess I can only say that I liked this movie because I learned something from it. I Love my Mom, my sisters, my nieces, my aunts and my grandmothers...Don't we all?
