How salacious! I didn't hold any expectations for 'Torremolinos 73', 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 (...pardon the pun...) 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.
