MCT:June 3, 2008El sexto largometraje del inclasificable y políticamente incorrecto bilbaíno Alex de la Iglesia, no es nada más un homenaje paródico a un género cinematográfico, el spaguetti western, sino a todo un escenario geográfico que vio nacer muchas obras emblemáticas: el desierto de Almeria, España. Un viejo ?pueblo? del ?Lejano Oeste?, es la atracción principal de turistas alemanes y japoneses, que parecen llegar ahí por equivocación.
Estamos lejos del mejor filme de Alex de la Iglesia. Sin embargo, sigue esa capacidad para burlarse de todos y todo. El relato narra la vida de un grupo de viejos ?dobles? (stuntmen, en lenguaje técnico), que alguna vez hicieron carrera en las producciones norteamericanas filmadas en Almeria, como los spaguetti westerns de Sergio Leone, encabezados por el vulgar, alcohólico y agresivo Julián (estupendo Sancho Gracia), un avejentado doble que presume haber sido gran amigo de Clint Eastwood y haber ?doblado? a George C. Scott en Patton (Schaffner, 1970).
Luego de una atractiva secuencia de créditos, que lo mismo es capaz de sacar referencias a The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Leone/1966), como de los filmes de Sergio Corbucci (Django/1966), o Damiano Damiani, nos enteramos, desde el inicio, que el padre de Carlos murió accidentalmente durante la filmación de una escena peligrosa: una persecución en diligencia digna de John Ford. Por ello, Carlos viajará hasta la desértica zona para encontrarse con Julián, su abuelo, quien lleva encima un sentimiento de culpa por la tragedia de su hijo, y así descubrir un mundo cinematográfico oculto: el de los dobles, las caídas y los golpes falsos.

MCT:June 2, 2008"A truly original film that forces me to beat myself constantly for not thinking of it first!! This brilliant riff on the spaghetti-western genre only further convinces me of Alex de la Iglesia's genius. plus, the whoal Clint Eastwood subplot almost made me cry! a great time at the movies.

MCT:June 14, 2007Very goof film! Again a crazy story with really funny scenes. What I love the most of all this movies is the originality of the ideas, the plots are very unsusual. They're not supernatural thing or anything like that. They're common things but nobody has done a movie about that before. Anyway, really good film. Very funny.

Not Iglesia's best, but still pretty good. Worth a look especially if you're a fan of spaghetti westerns

This movie would've been amazing if they could've gotten a certain major western actor for the last scene but they couldn't and as a result the final beat seems somehow false. Great fun (and a touch of melancholy) for spaghetti western fans.

A Spanish made homage to the Spaghetti westerns of yore filmed within its borders. A modern day comedic part-western that is too jilted and misfocused. The over-the-top final act doesn't help matters.
It has its moments (like the nude scenes of the actress that plays Sandra. *ahem*) but overall fairly disappointing.
