Although I'm a big fan of director Pedro Aldomovar's fims, this one is:

(a) a woman's picture (I can't believe that I said that!)

(b) a big, old-fashioned Spanish soap opera,

(c) a movie for people who like Danielle Steel "novels,"

(d) a movie for people who like to read those Mexican love comic-books (you know the ones with pictures of big breasted women, etc.)
