Humor can make the awful truth palatable especially when merely speaking on issues of political corruption, oppression of the meek, and outrageous standards of virility imposed upon Mexican youth--leaves a sour taste in one's mouth. Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN with one cinematic brush paints quite a critical and yet laughable picture of Mexican(much of Latin American?) culture. The two main male characters are ever so subtly portrayed as unwitting victims who have been sucked into the "machine" of National Idealism. This idealism does not ring true with their personal quite imperfect human relational experience. The main female character, though unwittingly wise , is yet a victim nonetheless as she identifies with the poor with whom she finds solace. I found the movie thoroughly delightful and laughed so hard that even the more revealing, erotic scenes(by some considered soft porn)only served to accentuate how deeply penetrating and pervasive"lies" of a society influence the young, restless, brave and idealistic even in their more intimate moments...though they think they know better! I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to view a first class cinematic "event", which may well become a classic in Mexican filmmaking.
