Worth the price if you are a fan
This review is for the product itself, not the movie. The packaging on this Blu-ray is great and better than pictured. It comes with a small booklet containing two introductions and biographies by the director. (A nice addition for fans of the movie who want to know more about the backstory of characters)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mouth of Heaven
    Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2003
    Verified Purchase
    I've seen this film twice now and can say it improves with re-viewing. But in looking through some of the other customer reviews, I was amazed at how many who complained about lack of plot or purpose completely missed major thematic points being flagged by the creators. There's a lot going on in this road trip/coming-of-age film if you watch and listen carefully.
    No writer can call a beach The Mouth of Heaven (which is where the film's lead trio are driving to) without signaling, practically with flares, that he is making a thematic point. Consider how this one gets used: The two boys think they've just made up the name to con Luisa--they've no idea where they're headed. It later turns out that a beach called Mouth of Heaven actually does exist, and they are near it. In the end, only Luisa goes to it; the boys never see it.
    Backtrack for clues as to why the boys never see the Mouth of Heaven: For all their sex- and drugs-obsessed horseplay, they are not social equals. One comes from a privileged political family (part of the PRI ruling party in Mexico, now temporarily out of the presidency thanks to Vicente Fox) and the other, as he is unkindly reminded, is "peasant trash." They go to the same high school, but their post-graduation futures are going to be very different and that is what is really coming up on the horizon for them--not a celestial beach where they can honestly be friends forever.
    All through the boys' juvenile dialog, and highlighted in the omniscient voiceover, are details that point out not only how the pair aren't similar, but also how much they've already internalized the social attitudes that will inevitably pull their friendship apart. The poorer one lights matches in his friend's bathroom after he uses it; the richer one uses his foot to raise the toilet seat when he visits the other one's house. As Luisa comes to discern, their relationship, while often affectionate and close, is mostly a sham and riddled with unspoken secrets and class-derived mistrusts.
    Throughout the film, the creators take off on sidetracks to look at various aspects of Mexican life and culture. The film is clearly slanted toward non-Mexican audiences, because much of what they show is information to help outsiders understand the social realities facing these young men. Remember that the middle-class is much smaller in Mexico than in the US or Europe, so necessarily these two boys, while exuberantly individual, are also representing the largely dichotomized Mexican society in the way they inter-relate and yet remain separate and closed off. (Luisa, importantly, is Spanish, so she shares our view as an outsider; it is her job to help us uncover what is awry with this pair.)
    Try looking at the film from these deeper and more symbolic viewpoints and I think many viewers will find the creators have given their audience a lot to think about during the film, and many reasons to care about what happens to the protagonists. The sad last scene isn't just a gathering up of plotlines, for the news about Luisa IS anti-climactic for us. The emotional punch is in watching the boys as they finally get an inkling of what Luisa was trying to tell them about themselves on that trip, and then push the realization away.

    4.0 out of 5 stars about the movie Y Tu Mama Tambien........
    Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2003
    Verified Purchase
    Y Tu Mama Tambien is a road movie directed by Alfonso Cuaron (Great Expectations). Set in Mexico we are introduced to two 17 year old boys having sex with their girlfriends. The girlfriends are about to leave for a trip to Italy so they are looking to get just a little bit more fun in before the trip. They leave, and Tenoch and Julio are left to find their own entertainments. They are part of Mexico's upper middle class and while at a party (thrown by one of their parents), they meet an older woman (in her late twenties). Not expecting her to accept, they invite Louisa(her) to a fictitious beach called 'Heaven's Mouth'. After learning of her husband's infidelity, Louisa takes the trip. Tenoch and Julio pretend they know where they are going and head towards a beach they hope will really be there when they get there. Before reaching the beach, the two have sex with the married woman, Louisa which resulted in fights during the travel time in the car. They later halt the fight and begged her to get back to the car as they agreed to listen to what she says and what she wants them to do......
    This is a very sexual film, from the opening scenes to the denoument. There is a lot of discussion about sex, a fair amount of sex scenes (graphic and tender at the same time), and this just feels honest. We are not given nudity for the sake of nudity because in this film it feels essential to the ability to tell the story. The camera shows, but doesn't linger. There is also a gay act between the two boys, at almost 3/4 of the movie, after both were drunk. When they found out that they slept together on the same bed the next morning, they ran out of the house and vomitted.
    The road trip and the development of the characters are extremely well done and the film rises well above the concept of the source material. We see Tenoch and Julio begin to grow up and grow into the men they will likely become. They begin the movie very immature and only looking for sex, drugs, and hanging with their friends. This movie shows the first steps beyond their childhood. Y Tu Mama Tambien could have easily become a Mexican version of American Pie or Road Trip, but this is much, much better. Highly recommended with a warning of a lot of sex(inclusive of one scene on masturbation near the bank of swimming pool where the 'things' which was fired out drop into the pool water) and nudity.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mexican Delight
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2002
    Verified Purchase
    Two Mexican lads travel, with an older woman, in an old estate car, to a beach that doesn't actually exist. Well, it doesn't sound much. In fact this film is by turns hilarious and moving; no surprise it has gained quite a following. The three main characters (all well played) are likeable and although the spoken language is Spanish (there are English subtitles), it doesn't really matter at all. Much of the attraction of the film is visual; it is beautifully photographed on location in Mexico. There are quite a number of explicit sex scenes, but these are entirely natural and part of the story. They are often amusing too.
    The presentation on DVD is outstanding. Picture quality is excellent with rich colours and a sharp image. Stereo sound (I don't have surround) is atmospheric and used well. There is an 11 minute short film by the director of the main item. It is amusing. There is also a version of the film for under 17's. This is very amusing, if a little short. There are music tracks, a making of documentary, and numerous other extras-all enjoyable. Also current copies have a short book detailing the early lives of our heroes.
    Good humour, sun, sea and lots of sex. The perfect DVD for dark Autumn nights.

    Questo non è un film per tutti, o perlomeno non si presenta così ad una prima impressione

    Può essere estraniante per via di come tratta i suoi argomenti, o per la peculiare regia, ma è proprio tutto ciò a valorizzarlo interamente.
    Un piccolo racconto di formazione, in cui due amici scoprono molto di più riguardo quelle cose che avevano sempre preso come un frivolo svago, e del loro intrinseco rapporto con una donna che sconvolgerà appieno le loro vite, riuscendo però in questo anche ad offrire un grande aiuto

    Un film che nonostante tutto riuscirà a colpire e a portare ad interessanti considerazioni sulla crescita, mai in modo petulante o pesante, ma neanche troppo leggero o semplice
