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

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!

Don't bother going to see this film.

I recently had my arm twisted to see this film: a new comedy, produced by Antena 3 television under the new Spanish laws that say that television stations have to make so many films a year to help keep the ailing Spanish film industry afloat. They'd said, on the telly, it was the number one film in Spain that week. However, when we went we were the only two people in the cinema. I now know why. Unfortunately, this film is a prime example of what tends to happen when a government obliges the production of creative material to meet a quota. While it tries to copy the American wave of films like 'American Road Trip' or 'There's Something About Mary,': films that shock and make you laugh at the same time. It really fails on all counts humorously. I think the only part I found really funny was when David Fernández got up and did a Chiquito de la Calzada impression in front of the English staff and family. Most of the humour is based around farcical concepts of dramatic irony, which would have been funny in the nineteen eighties, but now are just corny. There's also a trend in Spanish productions to ignore real-life premises, so they can do anything for the sake of the situation, even when it would not be possible in the real world. This, for me, is an easy way out, because you don't have to worry about how the characters will resolve a situation, because there are no limits on what they can do. A man with two degrees does not accept pills from a stranger in real life, because they could be anything. If one of the characters has a disability, then the girl they fall for, and who falls for them, does not have to have a similar disability. The situations set up are resolved in the most predictable ways, and, although they try to shock, do not create a funny situation. I have seen some very funny Spanish comedies: 'Va ser que nadie es perfecto' 'Perdona bonita, pero Lucas me quería a mí' 'La Comunidad' etc. This film just wasn't up to it.

A really funny picture

I went to see this movie just by chance. I couldn't envisage my surprise when I started laughing from the beggining to the end. This is a group of drpouts, losers and nerds that manage to get enroled in "Oxford University" only to be near the girl of his dreams of one of them. One is a nacker who happens to be a hacker; another is a blind chap that wants to become a soccer player; another is a very handsome lad who is completely shy; another is a seller of semen who wishes to make a fortune with his man's fluid, and so on... Everything is surreal and totally crazzy, but laughable. The picture got the Public Award at Malaga Film Festival and even a sequel was produced three years later. The gags, characters and situations are not to everybody likes, but are really funny and surprising. Give it a try.
