Torrente 2 - Mission Marbella

Well, first of all, to those who have seen "Torrente: El brazo tonto de la ley", I found this second part much, much better. It has many more gags, jokes and funny situations and it isn´t boring at any time. Santiago Segura has created again a box-office movie which will make you laught for about two hours. Gabino Diego has an incredible performance as Cuco, and Torrente is as "special" as always. He is as politically incorrect as he was in the first film, but fantastic. Hurray for Torrente!

Never seen the first Torrente, but if it's as good as this one, I'm there. Santiago Segura is excellent as the overweight, rude, crude and downright nasty detective caught in some elaborate plot in Marbella which doesn't really matter since the movie is a collection of gross gags and outrageous situations... Torrente is one funny man and he's ably supported by a cast of weirdos, including his slow-witted assistant Cuco, a madman obsessed with his pet monkey, a crime boss with a panty fetish, an overweight kid in a wheelchair dreaming of being a detective, and a lot more. One of the funniest films I have ever seen, proving why Segura is a cult icon in Spain. **** out of 4.

If you are interested in testing your Castillian Spanish, this is the place. Go ahead, put the subtitles on, and get ready for a lesson in Spanish cursing.

Although the film critics did not like this movie any more than its predecessor, Torrente, El brazo tonto de la ley, the audiences have cast their vote at the box office. This movie is disgusting, perverted, repulsive, and most importantly, very funny.

Forget about the haunting Spanish dramas Abre los ojos and Todo sobre mi madre. Spain needs more productions like Torrente to get the Spanish people interested again in Spanish cinema.

Torrente is a crude, ladies man type man of the law. I think this version was even more fun because he's in the playground of Spain, Marbella. I think if you liked the first one, you will enjoy this version even more. I've even seen the third version, and this is my favorite. If you get the Spanish sense of humor, you will enjoy this film. I would say it's definitely for machos, and the wives and the girlfriends have to ignore lots of scenes in the Torrente series. But just keep a good sense of humor about it all. It's for guys who like sexy women (quite a bit of nudity in all of the Torrente films) and very Spanish domestic sense of humor. If you've ever lived in Spain or have a Spanish husband like I do, you will understand what I mean. For example, he loves "El Fary", Real Madrid, etc. The language is very graphic as well, and it is better if you understand Castellano. It is quite hilarious if certain things don't bother you.

This is a great movie, I recommend to everyone who loved the first Torrente movie! I really love Torrente's character, he is the coolest person of the world :). I think that this movie is not worst than the first one, it's as good as the first (10/10) was. Santiago Segura is a good actor, and I think.. he is a good director too. I want Torrente 3 now!!! :) 9/10
