Y Tu Mama Tambien

I personally don’t really enjoy Y Tu Mama Tambien. The only way you can enjoy it is if you’re very familiar with Mexican history. For any one else, they would just think of this movie as you stereotypical just graduated form high school road trip. The only way you can understand the movie for the ways the writer intended is if you pay very close attention to the narrator and all the things he hints to. For example, how the narrator tells the story of how the man was hit by the bus and it seems as if that sequence is just tossed into the movie and has nothing to do with the plot and also the time the narrator tells the story of Tenoch’s nanny who he called his mother until he was four, but in actuality there is meaning behind it and your average viewer probably doesn’t even realize this.

But anyways, the movie starts off with Julio and Tenoch, who are best friends even though they come from different social classes, Julio being from the lower class and Tenoch the upper, saying goodbye to their girlfriends as the girls leave for Europe for the summer. Then after the goodbyes Julio and Tenoch plan on this summer being the best ever and that it will be filled with sex drugs, and fun. But it doesn’t star


Throughout the movie there are a couple sex scenes with one of them being a threesome at the end. I feel as if the sex scenes, minus the first, which is Julio and his girlfriend, are of Luisa taking advantage of the horny younger boys. She initiates the first two and then the third is of them all wasted, which is pretty much provoked by her. Then also it shows the masturbating scene that I really don’t understand and is just weird. But then if you look at the sex scenes in a Mexican history understanding of the movie then the sex could be examples of Spain having its effects on Mexico and that’s pretty much what I see.

You really need to know your Mexican history well to get the full effect of the movie. Through out the movie the narrator tells many stories that are directly related to Mexican history and if you have no idea what he is referring to you would just be bored. Through out the movie there are many arguments that go on between the characters: One being Tenoch and Julio over Luisa, another being between Tenoch and Julio over their girlfriends, also between Luisa and the two boys, and the characters against society. The boys and Luisa are on a rebellious trip where they do things different then what they would do if they were at home. They talk to each other different then normal, like about sex and other topics, like relationships.

Later on Luisa gets a call from her husband and he admits to cheating on her, that is when Luisa decides to take up Tenoch on his offer and go with them to this beach. So Julio and Tenoch have to make up this road trip and go to this beach that they made up. With help from a friend they come up with a plan and start on their trip to heaven’s mouth.

They planned on the drive being only two days but on the second day the car broke down and they had to stay in a hotel the second night. That second night Tenoch walks in on Luisa crying in her room while he is looking for shampoo. Instead of being upset Luisa asks Tenoch to get
