Cha-cha-chá (1998)

Passion and panache are the earmarks of Spanish romantic comedy, and Cha-cha-chá (1998) dishes up a spicy stew of hot-blooded, sleekly styled, laugh-inducing love trysts. Complications ensue when two supernaturally superb senoritas, who happen to be best friends, set their lust sites upon the same single man. The depths to which the ladies will stoop in their competition for the attention of senor’s throbbing blind eye are ingenious and visually arousing. When the tactics of sultry schemer Ana Alvarez backfire, the resourceful spitfire knows enough to squeeze her lemons and make lemonade, albeit lemonade with a passionate Spanish twist.
