The Amazing World of Borjamari and Pocholo (Spanish: El asombroso mundo de Borjamari y Pocholo) is a 2004 Spanish comedy film directed and written by Juan Cavestany and Enrique López Lavigne, starring Javier Gutiérrez and Santiago Segura.
Plot
The plot follows Borjamari and Pocholo, a couple of (unadapted) posh brothers in their thirties still pending for finishing a licentiate degree in law, mentally stuck in the 1980s' musical scene (specifically obsessed with Mecano), and who refuse to leave the family home. Their once bullied cousin, Pelayo, now a successful person and womanizer, tells them that Mecano is reuniting and playing a gig in the outskirts of Madrid, where they travel together with their female counterpart, Paloma.
Cast
Production
The film was produced by Santiago Segura (on behalf of Amiguetes Entertainment), Enrique López Lavigne (Apache Films) and Álvaro Augustin (Estudios Picasso).
Release
Distributed by Warner Sogefilms, the film was theatrically released in Spain on 3 December 2004.
It grossed over €3 million at the domestic box office.
Reception
Reviewing for Fotogramas, Mirito Torreiro gave the film a negative review, scoring 1 out of 5 stars, highlighting Pilar Castro's performance as the best of the film while negatively assessing pretty much everything else, considering the film to be "one of the comedies with the least capacity to make people laugh of all the comedies that have been made in Spain in recent years".
Jonathan Holland of Variety wrote that the infantilism of the lead characters "is largely duplicated by the script, which tacks cliches and deja vu gags onto a threadbare plotline", considering that "teenage auds will find some ’80s references baffling, and older viewers, who may once have identified with the protags, will be relieved to find they’ve outgrown this sort of thing".
