When Paula breaks up with Pedro, he hires a private detective, Sagaz (Ramon Barea), to follow her. She's really dating Javier, who tries to get Pedro to date Pilar (Maria Esteve).

    This is the fascinating Spanish sexy romantic comedy... with a musical twist.
    Sparklingly clever and funny, this is a relationships comedy in an almost opera bouffe style with a measured dose of slapstick. Music - songs with funny lyrics (I'm happy it shows in English subtitles)... read more - and sprightly choreography more than highlight the story. Spanish director Emilio Martinez-Lazaro creatively uses song and dance to bridge narrative portions, summarise a fast shifting plot-line and bring the viewer along in what otherwise would, however good the acting, be a fairly conventional and oft-told story of couples checking out their best friends in the sack.
    Natalia Verbeke and Paz Vegas are really delicious and attractive for the men's eyes with their perfect bodies and breasts and beautiful faces.

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

A movie in which insufferable yuppies boogie away inside the bubble of their own emotional immaturity. Truly, this is the unhinged joy of the deeply oblivious. Full Review

Liam Lacey

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Martinez-Lazaro's blend of erotic farce and Europop musical is so blandly slick and skin-cream deep, it barely leaves an impression, never mind anything to embrace. Full Review

Wesley Morris

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

If you're looking for an amusing endorsement for cheating your socks off, you've come to the right place. Full Review

... the characters aren't all that fascinating but it moves along quickly and the musical numbers keep it hopping. Full Review

Ruthe Stein

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

Director Emilio Martinez-Lazaro fails to provide a consistent tone for his movie, which totters between earnest realism and camp. Full Review

Desson Thomson

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Peppy, funny and sensual.

Ann Hornaday

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

A sex farce whose sex sags and whose farce is forced.

Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Everyone in The Other Side of the Bed, alas, has the depth of a character in a TV commercial. Full Review

Kevin Thomas

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Consistently sleek but works best if no more is expected of it than a mild diversion. Full Review

Lou Lumenick

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

A funny and frothy sex comedy from Spain with a very appealing cast -- and mediocre musical numbers.
