Member Rating:  
Three teenage guys try to figure out what they're supposed to be doing with their lives in this drama from Uruguay that puts the emphasis on character over narrative. Javi has landed a job driving a sound truck that plays the same radio spot for pasta all day long, while his buddy Leche, who is supposed to be studying for his exams, instead finds himself having sexual fantasies about his tutor, and Seba is waylaid by a handful of small-time dope dealers when all he wants to do is go home and watch the porno movie he's just rented. 25 Watts' depiction of misfit teens helped it earn the Youth Jury Prize at the 2001 Rotterdam Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Martha F.

the only thing i can say is that you have to be uruguayan to love and understand the movie and what the characters say. It's just beautiful and you have to have lived in Uruguay to appreciate this state of the art movie! Just great!

I think the reviewer Martha F. is wrong. I am not Uruguayan and I enjoyed every minute of this movie! If you're a "Clerks" fan you might like this one as well. But please people, be open-minded. Subtitles are not the end of the world! "Polícia para quem precisa!"

I like movies from other countries, but this Uruguyan movie is not good at all. I speak spanish fluently and you can barely understand what they are saying. Argentinian movies (Have the same accent as the Uruguayans) take this seriously and you can understand and enjoy. The plot is stupid and there is nothing to highlight from this movie.
