Synopsis

A Spanish comedy about the love lives of a group of friends, centers on the exploits of a group of urban hipsters who live in the same apartment building. Angel and Edu share a flat. Angel, who is handsome and strait-laced, is planning to get married, and as his marriage draws closer, Edu, a sloppy punk, begins to resent Angel's impending union with suspicious voracity. Meanwhile, in the flat downstairs, Txell and Aina are a lesbian couple whose relationship is faltering. They share their lodging with Elena, an obnoxious heterosexual who has the habit of annoying everyone with her inability to shut up. Elena is looking for love, and soon sets her sights on Oscar, Edu's prospective new roommate. Oscar, however, doesn't return Elena's advances; instead, he's got a jones for Aina, who, it soon becomes apparent, shares the attraction.

newland80 There is a very common problem when a theatrical play is adapted to the screen: the eventual result is more like filmed theater than cinema strictly speaking. This is precisely the case with "Todo me pasa a mi", which is a poor film adapted from a possibly nice play (I haven't seen the stage version).Visually speaking, it's pure theater, and so are the dialogue and performances. Maybe screenwriter/director Miquel García Borda should have tried to enrich the film by adding some more cinematic effects, instead of filming it with just a few actors in a very limited number of settings. Pieces of dialogue that are considered normal in theater are puzzling in cinema, and so are some of the grandiloquent performances.These considerations aside, "Todo me pasa a mí" is nice enough plotwise, and some of the characters are very interesting. That is why I thought the theatrical play must be quite engaging and entertaining. In a nutshell, the film is not much cinematic ally speaking, but it has a nice entertaining story and it's worth a watch anyway.Overall rating: 5/10
