The script is really rubbish. Not a very believable story. Performances are quite weak as well. Just pretty faces can't make a movie. Not worthy!

Just pretty faces
Jess & James
Oh, will someone please spare us from any more of these predictable road movies! This one sees the slightly hedonistic "Jess' (Martin Karich) have a one hour stand with the overly mothered "James" (Nicolás Romeo). That ought to have been it - a short film about an hook up, but no - we have to have a road trip around Argentina where they encounter the third wheel for their wagon - "Tomás" (Federico Fontán) before ending up at the home of the former man's brother. The narrative meanders as if it were a country lane with some beautiful photography of the Pampas scenery, the odd snog in an idyllic place and the usual menage-à-trois scenarios as the boys come to what was, for me anyway, an inevitable realisation. It is a nice film to watch - the light is brilliant at times, but the rest of it is really nothing new. The acting talent is easy enough on the eye but the story takes 90 minutes to take us nowhere.
