She just can't get it off.
If the analogy between food and sex has to be taken to the letter (as the directory desperately and didactically tries to tell us), I'd say that the movie is quite dull and fails to "reach" that spot. There's no development whatsoever in the characters, no blossoming, no flavour history, no smell track: it lacks all the elements that it tries to underline; the only effective character played by the cast is the wicked mother. Too sanitised, unengaging, boring, pathetic. I haven't read the book, but I'm sure the movie has very much spoiled a good book.Mexico has produced many good movies, this movie doesn't do honour to the Mexican filmography. So much for those who think that the movie is good just because it made it to the US box offices.
