Pleasant and decent Spanish comedy full of fun , along with some disconcerting elements , being efficiently directed by expert comedian director Fernando Colomo . Entertaining and amusing Eighties' Spanish comedy in which a lot of good actors become involved into improbable happenings . It deals with Ana (Veronica Forqué) , married to Minister's (Miguel Rellán) assistant (Antonio Resines) , she is a doctor who works at a clinic for STDs, meeting characters from all walks of life, then a twisted mess emerges when all the protagonists get gonorrhea .
A naughty comedy filled with goofy incidents at a clinic for sexual diseases, STDs , Sida or AIDs , while outrageous situations ensue , along the way we find some quirky roles and other unlikely messes . Thus, there are several entanglements that seem really forced and artificial in order to provoke supposed spontaneous laughter , but it does not work properly . In La vida alegre (1987) abounds impudent set pieces with special itching for sexual jokes, bad taste , continuous references to intercourse , dicks , as well as deceit , adultery and anything else . This is another Spanish typical comedy in the 80s style , it is an enjoyable film that contains hilarious events , entertainment and lots of fun .
This comedy contains twisted love stories , social habits with political critique included , humor , and grossy elements . This is a slightly funny film with bewildering events , emotion , giggles , and touching scenes at its final part . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind, and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few embarrassing , adding some absurdities and implausibilities . The picture benefits itself from a good cast formed by the best Spanish actors , all of them giving sympathetic interpretations , such as : Veronica Forqué , Antonio Resines , Miguel Rellán and Ana Obregón . But the main diversion results to be to look for the large plethora of secondaries appearing briefly here and there , that include the following ones : Guillermo Montesino, Massiel, Gloria Muñoz , Alicia Sánchez , Rafaela Aparicio , Chus Lampreave , El Gran Wyoming, Maria Elena Flores , Javier Gurruchaga , among others.
It displays catching musical score by the band Suburbano who sings attractive songs . Furthermore , a colorful and appropriate cinematography by cameraman Javier Salmones . This charming and with plenty of misunderstandings motion picture was professionally written and directed Fernando Colomo . Craftsman Fernando Colomo was born in Madrid and is a talented and versatile writer/director who has made a vast array of often solid and entertaining films in all kind of genres as comedy, drama and one science fiction movie (1985 El caballero del Dragón) in a career that spans over 30 years . Especially known for directing comedies , such as : 1987 La Vida Alegre , 1988 Miss Caribe , 1989 Bajarse al Moro , 1993 Rosa Rosae , 1994 Alegre Ma Non Troppo , 1995 Efecto Mariposa . And in the 2000s directed Al Sur Granada (2003) , El Próximo Oriente (2006), Rivales (2008) , La Banda Picasso (2012) , and several others . Rating : 5.5/10. Acceptable and passable , but neither notable , not extraordinary .

I saw this movie in a DVD my friend from Las Vegas Nevada a Massielista meaning a fan of Massiel like me sent it, the movie is a comedy Massiel play this girl from the wrong side of the track, she is well know all over the Spanish speaking world as a singer and sometime as a dramatic actress she did Cesar and Cleopatra and a play based in Bretcht and Weill music in the stage in Spain. both play with great acclaim but as a comedian I has never imagen Massiel and she is really good
and very funny , Veronica Forque one of Almodovar early star she did for him among others movies Kika is the lead in this movie and as always she is very good too sadly Massiel never did a movie again, she is back but only as a television panelist in some gossip show what a waste of talent Massiel please comeback
