Description:
MY MOTHER LIKES WOMEN (A Mi Madre Le Gustan Las Mujeres) is a hilarious comedy about three sisters whose lives are thrown off-kilter by their mother's sudden sexual awakening.
Sofia, (Rosa Maria Sarda from All About My Mother), a renowned pianist, is long separated from the daughters' father. It is on the occasion of her birthday that she delivers a stunning announcement: she has fallen in love again.
Clearly smitten, she begins to describe her new lover: somewhat younger...also a pianist. The daughters, thrilled and eager to hear more, are interrupted by the doorbell. To their surprise, it's Mom's new girlfriend.

Rating:  - A mi madre le gustan las mujeres
Very funny Spanish movie about three daughters (Watling, Pujalte and Abascal), all neurotic in their own special way, that have just found out that their mother is in love. And it is with a woman. The three of them deal with the situation in very different ways. When they find out their mother has given her new girlfriend a large sum of money, they assume that the new girlfriend is a gold-digger and they plan to break them up. What ensues is a series of hilarious and revealing scenes about hot each woman deals with their mother's sexuality, and their own. Very good and interesting movie. I especially liked Rosa Maria Sarda and Leonor Watling in this movie.
I have a different version from the one in this listing. It has a different cover and no Special Features.
Rating:  - Not Spanish Speaking
Had I known the movie was in Spanish with English subtitles, I would never have purchased this movie. I did not see any where this was how the movie was set up until after I opened it and in small print on the DVD is where it was. A total waste of money.
Rating:  - Suds, not soap; laughter, not lingerie.
My Mother Likes Women is well paced and doesn't waste any time getting through the plot. All scenes are well placed, all lines are tightly woven, and the plot is down right fun. This plot is about any relationship, gay or straight and doesn't preach any ideology or philosophy. It's about relationships between two adults, between fathers and daughters, between sisters, between mothers and daughters, and men and women, and women and women.
You will find yourself experiencing what the characters are experiencing and sometimes feeling sad and funny moment to moment. This is not `great literature translated to film', rather, this is a `good read translated to fun film'.
My Mother Like Women is not soft-porn or sexual in any way - it's entertainment. This film would entertain you and your date, a party of friends, or be a sweet watch on a rainy afternoon, with the smell of freshly popped popcorn wafting through the house carrying the sound of your laughter. Caution, there is some graphic language and swearing.
Enjoy seeing life without excuses.
Rating: - Terrible
The lesbians have absolutely no chemistry (although to be fair, despite the title, the movie is about middle daughter Elvira and her impending twentysomething crisis). The actions of the daughters in trying to break them up are actually quite vile, when you think about it, but are sugared with a Almodomar-esque brightness and sweetness. Conventional Hollywood ending. Just goes to show that, because of the slim offerings for lesbians in the cinema, sapphic moviegoers will praise movies that are actually somewhat insulting to them.
Rating: - Cute, sassy, sexy, and witty!
This movie is great! It's a hilariously cute movie with a fun and talented
cast, a whitty script, and ultimately an adorable love story. A coming out
story with the most clever of twists, "My Mother Likes Women" ("A Mi Madre
Les Gusta Las Mujeres") is a lesbian romantic comedy classic that everyone
will adore.
Sophia is a divorced Spanish woman with three adoring, grown-up daughters.
And, as she announces during her quiet birthday celebration, she has
fallen in love. Immediately ecstatic for their mother, the three women are
stopped dead in their tracks when they discover just who their mother's
new love is -- a beautiful Czech woman closer to their age than their
mother's. The daughters' reactions are brilliantly realistic and all over
the map. Suddenly everything they thought they knew about relationships
and love is turned upside down, and everyone is sent into an uproariously
funny and tragic search for how to deal with love and desire.
Tongue-in-cheek humor throughout, this movie is absolutely a joy to watch.
If you know Spanish, it's an added bonus, but the English subtitles are
superb and easy to read. The characters are genuine, the European scenery
extravagant, and the plot extremely clever. "My Mother Likes Women" is
laced with humor, romance, and ultimately, a coming out story for
everyone. Cute, sassy, sexy, and witty. Great movie.
