Rating:  - hard to follow along
I enjoyed Ernesto's performance in this movie; but that's about it. The rest of the cast either overacted their roles or the story was so jumbled up I couldn't understand it at all. I don't think subtitles could've helped me understand this at all.
Rating:  - Amusing Tale of Romance and Justice ...
Esmeralda is a nurse who has a big heart. She cares so much ... that over a short period of time she managed to get married five times to five different men and somehow manages to balance this bigamous lifestyle with no guilt or remorse. Unfortunately, her luck runs out when she nearly snares husband number six. It is husband number five who gets suspicious and follows her and discovers her *secret* lifestyle ... It is not her job and the long and strenous working hours as she claims which takes up so much of her time. It is the balancing act of carrying on her love life with so many husbands! One husband is a businessman. Another is an older gentleman and a poet. A younger husband is a university student. One of the marriages is simply a ruse, a cover-up for his "real life" gay relationship. Esmeralda married him to hoodwink his mother who might not understand his natural inclinations. And one is a rock star .. a musician.
After Esmeralda is arrested and undergoes interrogation by the chief inspector, he is quite overcome by his self-righteousness. He is a respectable man with strong and high standards of right and wrong. He wants justice done. However, he also tries to understand and reason out how and why she got so deeply involved in such a complex and socially unacceptable lifestyle. The more he hears about how she met each of her husband's - each so different from the other and yet each with their own brand of attractiveness and individuality, the more the inspector realizes ...

Rating:  - sexy and sweet, with whimsical humor
Have never seen a Maria Rojo film before but bought this film on impulse. It is subtitled which is fine with me, I like foreign films, but has no chapters or special features. The film itself is very sweet; Rojo has great charm. She is also quite sexy and several of her husbands are bound to set some pulses racing as well. It does have some fairly frank nudity which isn't made clear on the DVD case. The story has charm and provided many smiles as well as a few outloud laughts. I will definitely be looking for more of Rojo's films.
Rating: - WARNING: IN SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES!
This movie is in Spanish with English subtitles! This is not mentioned on the sale site; this is in fact the only way it comes. For the record this is ASIN: 0780624998 UPC: 794043471131. We thought the movie was very funny. A great movie to watch next; Love Potion #9.
Rating: - How About an American Remake?
I loved this movie. Maria Rojo as Esmeralda is delightfully sweet, and absolutely beautiful. The humor is top-notch; I especially liked how the inspector and others in the police station appeared in the scenes as Esmeralda was describing them.
Esmeralda is light, sweet, beautiful and funny, and she totally fills the movie with those qualities.
I highly recommend this movie.
