“Love has no rules” could be the motto of three Madrid couples whose lives intertwine in this frothy Spanish hit, a bisexual-romantic-musical-comedy sequel to 2002’s award-winning The Other Side of the Bed.

Best friends Javier (a standout performance from sensitive hunk Ernesto Alterio) and Pedro are back three years after the previous film, seemingly more mature and ready to commit. Javier is about to marry the delicately beautiful Marta, who’s showing signs of cold feet. Why? Because Pedro’s steady girlfriend, the fiery chanteuse Raquel, is also Marta’s secret lady lover. Meanwhile, the guys’ close buddy Rafa thinks he’s happily coupled with Pilar, who’s actually having an affair with single pal Carlos. When the bold, drunk, and alluring Carlota comes into the picture, all bets are off. Confused? So are they!

Charming Spanish-pop musical numbers and much farcical confusion follow as these belting bed-hoppers desperately try to figure out who’s sleeping with whom, who belongs with whom, and what it all means for each of them. The endearing characters keep their lips and hips working overtime in this colorful, sexy, screwball romp.
