OK I'm late to the party but I right enjoyed this (after a shaky start).  Sort of like a Mexican version of the Inbetweeners except they have a bit of success.

Some great imagery (though not much the mexican tourist board would like), a fantastic sense of an entire other world full of rich lives just sitting off to the side (and ignored by the two main boys) and some lovely sub-text with all of the under the surface swimming.

The look on Luisa's face (almost slyly to the camera) [spoiler]after the disappointing fumble [/spoiler] with Julio in the car is priceless.

With the title, I was thinking of Roger as I watched it (especially the bit at the end where [spoiler]the boys gay up[/spoiler]. Maybe one day that will be me and him.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

Great. Now I have to find a way to get my brain out of my skull to SCRUB THAT THOUGHT FROM MY MIND FOREVER.

Agreed. Amores Perros is LITERALLY the bomb.
