Before I decided to see this movie. I did not know anything about it. As I started looking into the title, I realized it was an Almodovar movie. I'm neither here nor there about his film so I'd thought I'd do more research about it. Usually, the more bad reviews I read about a film, the more curious I get. This one had all the ingredients screaming to go and check this dud out since most were panning it and since I usually love to go against the grain (I must decided for myself whether I liked the film or not), I though I'd go see on my intuition. I was not disappointed. The bad reviews were screaming camp and that it is!... The bad reviews were screaming stereotypical gay stuff...that it is too! and bad reviews were screaming offensive and felt sick... yes you will! And those are exactly the three reasons I went to see it and I was not disappointed. As a matter a fact I had myself several laughs throughout the film while some, I'm sure, frowned upon the subject matter and all that was happening. I just wish the was more character development of the pilot who claimed to be heterosexual but had his issues, mostly because that was one interesting sub plot I would have love to see more of and how it all gets resolved. Overall, If you just wanna get out of the summer heat and immerse yourself in a different kind of Aldomovar movie, this may be for you. However, you should still yield the warning from previous viewers who have written their pans and puns of the film, for I can see how their points are just as valid. Too bad for them I took their hostilities towards this film and turne it into a delight for me. So go figure. Take a chance, and know that you may or may not like it. I don't think there an in between with this film. For what it's worth, I, probably more than most here, appreciated this Almodovar effort.
score 10/10
