Butterworth B+ "It won me over with its genuine poignancy."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "As playful and politically scatterbrained as Truffaut's overrated Jules and Jim, Tambien has the raunchier upper hand."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A- "Remarkable in the way it weaves real poignancy into its disarmingly lighthearted exterior."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 4/4 "Vastly sardonic and intoxicating, Y Tu Mama Tambien is a bristle and unconventionally welcoming eyeopener that refreshingly defines what it means to be an examination of sexual angst while catering to a personalized and undefined rebellion."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C- "Coarse and titillating--you could well feel like referring to it as 'Mexican Pie'...The mere fact that it's in Spanish doesn't really make it any better."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek A+ "Would that we all could 'breathe life' the way this film does."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 2.5/4 "It's not as awful as some of the recent Hollywood trip tripe ... but it's far from a groundbreaking endeavor."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "Erotic, controversial, and unforgettable."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 9/10 "[Cuarón has] created a substantive movie out of several cliched movie structures: the road movie, the coming-of-age movie, and the teenage sex comedy."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 2.5/4 "Like its characters, Y Tu Mama has a great distance to go before it becomes enlightening."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 6/10 "If adult viewers go in with lowered expectations and don't mind the graphic sexual material, they'll probably find that this film offers enough of a different take on the standard road movie."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "It delivered in laughs, moments of surprise, drama and beauty."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4/5 "...after a number of films that inspire siestas, it’s a pleasure to watch one that feels fresh and alive."   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit 7/10 "...a lighthearted, risqué romp with dramatic overtones...and an uncompromising view of youth and youthful vitality."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "The pedigree is much stronger than what you'd find in a typical teen rank-out comedy."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3/4 "Y Tu Mamá También es un buen filme gracias a lo poco convencional de su narrativa, y es quizá el proyecto más arriesgado en la carrera de Alfonso Cuarón"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 4/4 "One of these movies where I want to jump in and live in these places with these characters."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B+ "the film belongs to the marvelous Verdu, a sexy slip of an earth mother who mourns her tragedies in private and embraces life in public"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/5 "A raunchy Mexican teen comedy with surprising depth and the nerve to confront subtexts that normally get short shrift in pictures aimed primarily at young men."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "A sexy, funny, sad, uplifting, and, most importantly, human film."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 5/5 "An incredibly joyous and life-affirming film that gushes with the energy and daring that is increasingly hard to find in Hollywood."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "It's about growing up, being more responsible about sex, understanding that it is an act that has weight, meaning, and significance."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Offers a shot of wise, freshly etched character comedy in a time when it's desperately needed."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B "It starts out like one of those brainless teen sex road comedies that make me want to puke, but, thank God, it has a lot more to it than that."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A "...a vivid, thoughtful, unapologetically raw coming-of-age tale full of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3/4 "A hallmark film in an increasingly important film industry and worth the look."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 1.5/4 Read review   Zertinet Movies   David Johnson 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 7/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R.
