Boyfriend for My Wife Reviews
"The biggest success of the Argentinean cinema in 2008.
He tries to create a popular cinema without losing sight of making a correct film.
Judging by the box office success, his cinema has a rapport with the audience.
He shows that genre cinema can produce films in our cinema that apart from being box office successes may leave a mark among the best of the national cinema."
LEER CINE
Santiago García
"A very interesting foray into the romantic comedy..
Juan Taratuto has timing for comedy, a good ear for dialogue, precision for acting and an observation capacity rarely seen in the Argentinean cinema.
Beyond the acknowledged merits, A Boyfriend for My Wife keeps an ace up its sleeve (...):
Valeria Bertucelli."

Elpidio Blas
"An uncomplicated, even simple script whose strength lies in its efficiency, in the transparency of its characters, in the force of its amusing situations and its slight emotional touch.
An uncomplicated, efficient and forceful film, not to be missed."

Pablo Silva
"One of the best local proposals of the year.
A Boyfriend for My Wife is an honest, transparent and winning film. Starting from a very simple anecdote, the film shows us that in life many decisions made by a couple could be very different if they clearly understood that both of them deserve the same treatment in the relationship.
With a Boyfriend for My Wife, Taratuto gets the right boiling point, (...) and with premium quality ingredients and in the right proportions makes one of the best films of the Argentinean industry in 2008. It was time."
LA NACION
Claudio D. Minghetti
"More than an actress, Valeria Bertucelli is a film herself.
Smashing, as usual."
PAGINA 12
Horacio Bernades
"A really good comedy.
Taratuto shows he is creative enough to keep away from a colourless, rhetoric comedy of mores.
A comedy with enjoyable and delightful moments. A rare bird in the current times."
EL LITORAL
Rosa Gronda
"Juan Taratuto's name in mentioned whenever (good) national genre cinema, a cinema for wide audiences, and an industrial cinema of reasonable quality is demanded. A Boyfriend for My Wife also has an ace up its sleeve with the great performance of Valeria Bertuccelli."
