Social commentary?

[diazart · 15 September 2003]

This movie is the chronicle of a bunch of domestic servants and how the world is after them. Ha.

Believe it or not, there's lots of social commentary in this crappy movie: when the maids are not being pursued by the snotty kid, then they are pursued by the father; they are accused by their employers of being lazy, obnoxious or downright, of being thieves. The life of a maid is really, really hard, according to this movie.

It is full of stupid jokes (someone actually sez to Jorge Reynoso: " this is like a movie... and you are like Jorge Reynoso!"), and has nothing to offer...

Yet, who can resist a movie with the title "day of the maids"?????

p s i guess nobody buys Meche Carreño's accent. Even she forgets sometimes the way she's supposed to talk.

Nothing more than a ficheras flick.

I caught "El Dìa de las Sirvientas" on late cable night. I was expecting a low budget movie with an edge that would throw a social message against Mexican Federal Labor Law or against bosses. But no, the movie is a ficheras cheap and vulgar movie disguised as something that could deliver a social message.

Well, what could you expect when Lucila Mariscal is the main character? The movie deals with maids that spend the day drinking and inviting their boyfriends whenever their bosses are not home. For example, there's one exotic foreign singer who spends the day on a t.v. studio. So her maid makes a party whenever she's out.

The other bosses are the typical people from the Mexican high social class that humiliate their servants for whatever reasons.

Jorge Reynoso makes a special appearance as one of the maid's boyfriends. There's one "comedic scene" where her girlfriend, while having a talk in the car, tells him "you even like Jorge Reynoso, the actor!". So you can go figure the quality of the comedic situations.

Meche Carreño and Lety Perdigòn are really sexy and deliver hot performances but that's not enough reason to watch this sad attempt of Mexican comedy.

No social message, no comedy, nothing. "El Dìa de las Sirvientas" is pure crap. Take my word.

Meche Carreño,naked..¡again!!!

it had to pass ten years,before Meche carreño appears again in a Mexican Movie,I suppose she didn't pass all this long time choosing for a good proposal,even if she had wanted,it was very difficult to find at least an acceptable Mexican movie in that time,but I suppose she could have avoided one of the worst,with comedian actors of the second class,and a rocker singer(Vitorino)improvised as an actor "El dia de las Sirvientas"(servants day) pretended to be a continuance of the movies with bar ladies workers(Ficheras)in this case costumed as servants, which best time had been passed,however Meche Carreño's best times had been passed too,although this wasn't an impediment to show her naked while she was taking a shower in her role of ingenuous servant. this is the last Meche Carreño movie until now,but I bet nobody would remember her for this film,even I could bet any of her enthusiastic fans knows this "Movie"
