Even by the standards of Pedro Almodóvar, this film is pretty weird. Unfortunately, I found that this non-stop zaniness caused the plot to suffer, and so the film ultimately failed. There are many laughs in this film to be sure, but I found that the story really didn't go anywhere, so I didn't particularly care about any of these characters. It seems to me that Almodóvar was more interested in creating a bunch of oddball characters than putting together an interesting story. Therefore, once I was aware of all of the unusual traits that the characters had, the film seemed to become flat.
