 "Be forewarned -- there's plenty of male genitalia and vulgar language."
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM
"Y Tu Mama Tambien is a most refreshing import and an absolute must-see for anyone open to it."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"A smart, steamy mix of road movie, coming-of-age story and political satire."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY
"Uses sharp humor and insight into human nature to examine class conflict, adolescent yearning, the roots of friendship and sexual identity."
-- Todd Anthony, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"Though Mama takes a bit too long to find its rhythm and a third-act plot development is somewhat melodramatic, its ribald humor and touching nostalgia are sure to please anyone in search of a Jules and Jim for the new millennium."
-- Rod Armstrong, REEL.COM
"Y Tu Mamá También es un buen filme gracias a lo poco convencional de su narrativa, y es quizá el proyecto más arriesgado en la carrera de Alfonso Cuarón"
-- Jorge Avila Andrade, MOVIOLA
"Just like his characters, writer-director Alfonso Cuarón...takes the road less traveled."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"Witty, vibrant, and intelligent."
-- Laura Bushell, BBCI FILMS
"A hallmark film in an increasingly important film industry and worth the look."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
 "Oft-described as the antidote to American Pie-type sex comedies, it actually has a bundle in common with them, as the film diffuses every opportunity for a breakthrough"
-- Jason Clark, MATINEE MAGAZINE
"...there are enough moments of heartbreaking honesty to keep one glued to the screen."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"Cuaron repeatedly, perversely undercuts the joie de vivre even as he creates it, giving the movie a mournful undercurrent that places the good-time shenanigans in welcome perspective."
-- Mike D'Angelo, MAN WHO VIEWED TOO MUCH
"A fantastically vital movie that manages to invest real humor, sensuality, and sympathy into a story about two adolescent boys."
-- Nick Davis, NICK'S FLICK PICKS

"'Anyone with a passion for cinema, and indeed sex, should see it as soon as possible.'"
-- Paul Arendt, TELETEXT (UK)
"Erotic, controversial, and unforgettable."
-- Jeanne Aufmuth, PALO ALTO WEEKLY
"...a vivid, thoughtful, unapologetically raw coming-of-age tale full of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"Y Tu Mamá También is hilariously, gloriously alive, and quite often hotter than Georgia asphalt."
-- Sean Burns, PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY
"It is different from others in its genre in that it is does not rely on dumb gags, anatomical humor, or character cliches; it primarily relies on character to tell its story."
-- Jim Chastain, NORMAN TRANSCRIPT
"[Cuarón has] created a substantive movie out of several cliched movie structures: the road movie, the coming-of-age movie, and the teenage sex comedy."
-- Jeffrey Chen, WINDOW TO THE MOVIES
"the film belongs to the marvelous Verdu, a sexy slip of an earth mother who mourns her tragedies in private and embraces life in public"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"Energetic and boldly provocative."
-- Kevin Courrier, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"Easily one of the sexiest and funniest films about class struggle ever made."
-- Manohla Dargis, L.A. WEEKLY
"The last 20 minutes are somewhat redeeming, but most of the movie is the same teenage American road-trip drek we've seen before - only this time you have to read the fart jokes"
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM

"It's not as awful as some of the recent Hollywood trip tripe ... but it's far from a groundbreaking endeavor."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"A giddy and provocative sexual romp that has something to say."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"There's an energy to Y Tu Mamá También. Much of it comes from the brave, uninhibited performances by its lead actors."
-- Gary Dowell, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Another trumpet blast that there may be a New Mexican Cinema a-bornin'."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Director Alfonso Cuaron gets vivid, convincing performances from a fine cast, and generally keeps things going at a rapid pace, occasionally using an omniscient voice-over narrator in the manner of French New Wave films."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST
"Marvelous, merry and, yes, melancholy film."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"Graced with the kind of social texture and realism that would be foreign in American teen comedies."
-- Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"It has the charm of the original American road movies, feasting on the gorgeous, ramshackle landscape of the filmmaker's motherland."
-- J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE
"Part travelogue, part road picture, part meditation on class, mortality and intimacy, this extraordinary little movie might be the perfect harbinger of summer, as astute as it is steamy."
-- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST
"The best road trip movie ever made."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST

"A bittersweet, profane, funny and exhilarating coming-of-age tale."
-- Duane Dudek, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
