Republican Gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli better stay away from
“I’m So Excited” as he recently said that he wants to arrest any male
or female, non-gay or gay, engaging in either anal or oral sex and
that’s what this film is all about, especially oral sex, along with
drugs and alcohol!
There
are 3 stewards of which one Joserra (Javier Camara) is having a long
time affair with the married with children pilot Alex (Antonio de la
Torre), the second Fajas (Carlos Areces) has a 3D set of a religious
scene and is into gossip and tossing his hair while Ulloa (Raul Arevalo)
believes sex is the answer for everything and has the co-pilot Benito
(Hugo Silva) questioning his sexuality. All 3 stewards haven’t found a
tequila they can pass by and camp it up lip synching to the Pointer
Sisters recording of “I’m So Excited”.
In
second class all the stewardesses and passengers have knocked out with
drugs making the psychic Bruna (Lola Duenas) who wants to lose her
virginity before the plane lands to remark about the smell of farts and
most of the film taking place among the business class passengers such
as the ‘mule’ (Miguel Angel Silvestre) who keeps his bride (Laya Marti)
passed out with the drugs hidden in his butt because it is responsible
for her mounting him constantly. Norma (an Almodovar regular Cecilia
Roth) a dominatrix, who has lost count of how many clients she has had,
has an eye for handsome Infante (Jose Maria Yazpik) and there is a
famous actor Ricardo (Guillermo Toledo) who is a serial womanizer. All
drink, have sex and pop a drug now and then except for a banker Sr. Mas
(Jose Luis Torrijo)a banker who doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of
the cast but seems to be part of the director/screenplay writer
Almodovar’s askew look at current Spain.
Due
to a technical difficulty the plane won't land until it finds an
appropriate airport and goes around in circles and has to drop a load of
fuel before even attempting to land. Though the plane can crash this
comedy by Pedro Almodovar is filled with low, camp, trashy, tacky,
naughty and attempts to be screwball comedy with moments of being kinky.
This
is a silly comedy by one of the best film directors and screenwriters
in the business though he can get a lot of smiles having his cast
talking about sex, especially oral, sorry Ken Cuccinelli. It is also
nice to see Antonia Banderas and Penelope Cruz doing a cameo in the
opening of the film.
