Fun and uplifting Spanish romantic comedy with crazy events , amusement and absurd situations . This entertaining film packs amusement , slapstick , comical situations , tongue-in-cheek , surrealist comedy including conventional pitfalls and many other things . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly cool . This is a fast crazy movie with lot of fun situations , antics , bemusement and with a bunch of very hilarious roles . This is another Spanish comedy romp , it is a bemusing story that contains lots of humor , entertainment , binge and involving a young scientific , her boyfriends and friends . It deals with a young scientist (Imma Cuesta) working for an investigation laboratory and about get married when breaks up with his fiancé (Berto Romero) in the middle of a friend's wedding celebration and in front of everyone . Later on , she receives various weddings invitations from her previous fiances . She then decides to go accompanied by her laboratory apprentice (Martiño Rivas) , though she believes that's not a good idea and then problems crop out . There she meets a good-looking suitor , a plastic surgeon (Quim Gutierrez) who falls in love for her . And the end it takes place a special celebration , a peculiar wedding in a bucolic outdoor between a prior boyfriend , now transvestite (Paco Leon) , and his sweetheart . Everything that you can imagine is far from the stupid things that may happen her , as it results in the wedding celebrations turned upside down . The premise is the following : What worse than getting wedded to your ex's wedding ? , getting invited by three .
This is a slightly funny film with entertaining events , giggles , emotion , profanities , twists and triangular love stories . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind, and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with numerous naughty and picaresque situations such as sex jokes , bad taste , threesome and adult scenes . This is a special Spanish comedy from the 2000s with the usual ingredients such as wild humor topped with a little bit of original touches here and there and the tone of the film is light-hearted . It's an agreeable , moving film , perfectly acted and concerning the narration about the relationship among fiancée , fiancés , brides and a transvestite . This is a typical Spanish comedy from the 2000s similarly to ¨La Gran Familia Española¨ by Daniel Sanchez Arevalo and Quién mató a Bambi? (2013) by Santi Amodeo with the usual ingredients such as silly humor , embarrassing events and close relationships among people . It turns out to be pleasantly fun that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever ; an exercise in pure amusement in which entertainment and fun are guaranteed . The characters are quite odd , grotesque and weird and the film races on at incredible speed . Higlights of this film include an impressive irruption of a previous boyfriend on motorboat surrounded by three beautiful surfer girls and a spectacular as well as puzzling ending wedding . On the surface, ¨Tres Bodas De Mas¨ doesn't get much wrong , it looks okay , the comedy misunderstandings pile up in a reasonably amusing fashion and the performance is acceptable . My feelings are extremely mixed but I must admit there are things I haven't been able to stop laughing about ; however , it also contains bad taste , piggy humor , abound sexual scenes , profanity and grossed themes . A few of the scenes are amusing , they elicit chuckles but no very enjoyable laughters . Sympathetic acting by Imma Cuesta as a young who begins to receive wedding invitations from several former boyfriends, actually three in a row , and Quim Gutierrez as her lover , Quim is the recent king of Spanish romantic comedy with successes as ¨Una Hora Mas en Canarias¨, ¨La Gran Familia Española¨ , ¨? Quien Mato a Bami¨ and ¨Primos¨ also starred by Imma Cuesta . Fine support cast such as Paco León , María Botto , Laura Sánchez , Silvia Abril , Berto Romero , Tony Sevilla and special mention to Rossy de Palma as hungry-sex mother . Colorful cinematography by Arnau Valls Colomer (Eva , Somos Gente Honrada , Promocion Fantasma , Trash) . Atmospheric musical score by Javier Rodero , including popular songs . The motion picture was professionally directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera . He was born in Barcelona and is a good director and editor , he realized some Shorts and being expert on comedies , especially known for Spanish Movie (2009) , Promoción Fantasma (2012) and this Tres Bodas De Mas (2013) . Furthermore , he is preparing Anacleto Agente Secreto (in post-production) and SuperLopez .

It was the typical Spanish silly rom-com that usually I don't like. It was a bit funny though, but the transphobic comments ruined it.
Brightly coloured farcical comedy centering implausibly on the notion that glasses wearing lobster researcher BLANCA NIEVES' Cuesta's sex life is a mess, despite the fact that she's obviously runway material.
Film follows her unwilling visits to the weddings of her three old boy friends, in the company of her hunky new lab assistant, who is clearly going to be the one when the dust settles. Low comedy material is delivered with lots of energy - the teenager with a boner, grotesque mother Rosi de Palma paying for sex with her Visa card,pacifying the baby with a boob, the plastic surgeon who replaced the destroyed thumb with a toe, the wheelchair girl who was broken in sex.
A bit on the frantic side but lots of good gags.

3 bodas de más (Three Many Weddings in English) is your typical Spanish romantic comedy, which only differs with the American one in two points: it has more nudity, and is more politically incorrect. But it is funny, even if it loses the opportunity of make more of its idea.
The story is as simple as you could expect: woman breaks up with guy in boss's wedding and goes into depression mode: she is not going to find the love of her life, she gets drunk and does a one-night-stand with the first guy that comes through... But then, suddenly, three of her former boyfriends decide to invite her to their weddings. Ruth, the woman (played by Inma Cuesta, doing a good job) is reticent to go and angry at all of them at the same time, but Dani, who works for her, convinces Ruth that it could be good to go, show that she is not doing so bad, and... well, the point is to find as many situations as possible for Ruth to embarrass herself in public while she grows as a person and empowers herself. And the movie does a great job and Inma Cuesta is game.
The movie is funny, with some laugh-out moments. The romantic part is not so well done, and I find Quim Gutiérrez as Jonás a little bit underwhelming, even if he is a good actor enough. The evolution of Ruth's feelings for the men around her is not well developed and makes for an uneven ride, even if a fun one. It doesn't break the rule book, but it is a good time at the movies.

I had seen this film on cable last year and thought at that time, that it was OK. But it's appearing again on cable, and I found myself watching it again, and I am not sure why, it's more or less a typical romantic farce. But maybe that's just it; the film knows what it is. What hooked me to watch it a second time was one of the gags near the beginning where the lead actress, Inma Cuesta, is late for work, still has not unpacked her drinking glasses from moving in recently, needs a fast drink of water, so she leans over and drinks from the faucet like a dog. Then, running out the door, knocks over the box that contains the glasses, breaking them. I guess that little joke works because of a combination of good direction, those big goofy glasses she wears, and the actress herself? I mean it's not much, but the film is loaded with scenes like that, that just work, it's just a funny flick period. I had seen Inma Cuesta before in the film "Grupo 7"(which is excellent). She had a minor role in that one, and that was a crime drama, but she played Mario Casa's wife very well in that one. Check out "Tres bodas de más" for some good slapstick romantic comedy........ But then, what woman would actually go to the weddings of three ex boyfriends, all within a month? That premise alone sets the stage for this film.
I'm not usually a follower of my country's comedy films, but every now and then you get to watch something that slaps you in the face, in the best of ways. This is one of the cases, as you don't expect the gags to be so enormously funny, and I mean "there's-something-about-Mary" kind of funny. The Farrelly brothers could have sign this script without blinking an eye. Javier Ruiz is undoubtedly the most promising comedy director there is in the Spanish movie industry, and the actors he picks are always good choices. Inma Cuesta proves herself to be more than valuable in drama and comedy, and the rest of the cast is almost flawless.
Give this movie a try and forget about the usual bullshit. This is NOT it.

Like the stifled and self-repressed female lobsters she is studying, Ruth is desperate and hopeless in romance. She falls for one dirtbag after another. She seems unwilling or perhaps unable to stand up for herself not only with men, but also with her manipulative boss, cranky coworkers, bossy mom, and even when driving. Ex-boyfriends invite her to their weddings and she goes partly to prove them wrong and party to troll for men. One likable guy encourages her to believe in herself. This unexpected support takes her in a new direction and she is not sure if it is good. This delightful romantic comedy really breaks the mold. It is zany, irreverent and gut-busting, non-stop funny. Ruth (Inma Cuesta) is a riot and so are the other actors. The director claims the film is based on real events. Seen at the 2014 Miami International Film Festival.

Three Many Weddings is another typical Spanish comedy where you can watch people having drugs or having sex. One young scientist lady breaks up with her boyfriend in a nice spot, in the middle of a friend's wedding and in front of everyone. After that, she is focused on her job working for a laboratory. But one day she starts to receive wedding invitations from several former boyfriends, actually three in a row. She decides to assist although she thinks that's not a good idea. For not going alone, she will go with a trainer who is working for her. And then, until the end, it's a potpourri of funny scenes for you to enjoy with a classical Spanish sense of humor.
