Plot summary
Emilio, a shy, not too brilliant pupil at a humble local secondary school, has always harboured a secret love for Natalia, the cutest, brightest girl in the class. On the last day of the school year, when he finally decides to declare his love, Natalia is awarded a scholarship to study Medicine at Oxford. It would seem that all is lost for Emilio, but his drop-out school-pals are not ready to throw in the towel. After faking qualifications and scholarships, this band of brainless nuts land in Oxford, causing havoc in the normally peaceful campus existence. —The Film Catalogue

Nutty and romantic comedy full of humor , bad taste , profanities and fun
Pretty funny
I can't say that the movie is truly good, but it's really funny. It's the most typical Spanish humor: pretty vulgar, sex, drugs, and what you could call "underprivileged people": people with disabilities, young people that fail in school, gypsies, prostitutes.. It's true that what happens in this movie has been seen already; everything is stereotypical and plus the movie ends well.
The actors in this movie are all known to the Spanish public, they can be seen on TV 24/7 on shows, ads etc. Even though i thought it was going to be really bad i went to see it, and i laughed a lot.
I think it's a movie for younger people to enjoy, it's not a movie that requires you to think or to debate and there is no point in trying to find a point to it. The situations are completely unreal and the characters are unreal but you laugh a lot, it makes you feel better.
I say: watch and enjoy!
