Storyline

Compulsive spenders Albert and Bruno are in debt up to their necks. While seeking help from community workers to get their lives back on track, they run into a group of young green activists. Lured by the free beer and snacks rather than by the ideals of eco-activists, Albert and Bruno find themselves joining the movement without much conviction.

It takes a serious idea – how we consume more than we need and what this commodification is doing to the planet and its people – and considers it with a lot of humour and a touch of romance.

Lacks romantic chemistry, emotional verve and political vigor.

The latest example of a lukewarm film that would have been hotter if it was shorter. There really ought to be a law that any comedy longer than 98 minutes should require special dispensation from the secretary of the Department of Sensible Running Times.

It's an interesting film because it touches upon a complex and controversial theme with humor. [Full review in Spanish]
