Not so comic Argentine romantic comedy about Aldo, a car wash owner and landlord and a bit of a sad figure with his obsession with control and his model car friends and the woman who walks into his life, Andrea, a liberal photographer, 3 months pregnant and ready to turn his life upside down.  The movie has funny scenes and quite a lot to say about conventions in society and there is a very funny cameo by Lidia Catalano as Aldo’s elderly maid who helps him with a sexual problem.  However, the overall tone is rather dark in places and I can’t say I really took to it.  Diego Peretti and Carolina Peleritti do a good job in the lead roles and the Spanish co-production stars fit in.  But overall and thanks to a wimp out ending I felt the good elements did not add up to so much.
