How salacious! I didn't hold any expectations for <em>'Torremolinos 73'</em>, but I wouldn't have predicted that. I did enjoy it though, it is the type of plot that I feel like I've seen done before but it has enough differences that it stands on its own feet. I'd note it as a film totally worth watching, if you're open to seeing plenty of nudity of course - though, to be fair, it becomes less about that as it goes on. Candela Peña and Javier Cámara give two good performances, they bounced off each other well <em>(...pardon the pun...)</em> and held solid chemistry. Cámara is the more comedic of them, he made me chuckle a few times. The rest of the cast aren't all that (relatively) important, with Mads Mikkelsen limited to a rather small role.
