Reviews for Don't Tempt Me
It's all harmless fun, I suppose, and mercifully free of all the cant usually associated with fantasies of Heaven and Hell.
09/26/03
The story takes a while to get going, but once it does, it includes a few Pulp Fiction-style flourishes and becomes a devil of a good time.
08/21/03
Consistently clever and inventive on a level a little below the inspired.
08/22/03
Bendito Infierno’s characters crack and pop off the screen; you’re caught up in their tussle even as you acknowledge its artificiality.
02/04/05
...undoubtedly a silly premise, but writer/director Agustin Diaz Yanes imbues the film with enough style and humor to keep things interesting.
02/18/04
Don't Tempt Me is a spunky and clever Spanish comedy that offers a satirical look at anxiety and competition on Earth and in the afterlife realms of Heaven and Hell.
08/21/03
It's not quite The Divine Comedy, but it's almost as irreverent, insightful and thought provoking.
08/21/03
An amusing and occasionally over-the-top satire.
03/10/03
While Yanes isn't quite able to sustain the quirky tone, his international cast does a fine job of keeping the energy aloft.

deserves the tagline: 'Life might be hell, but this film is worse.'

An unfocused, overplotted, painfully derivative comic fantasy.
08/21/03
Top CriticIt's a messy and shrill tale of Heaven and Hell.
07/19/03
The twisty Pulp Fiction-inspired subplot is also far less interesting than the undervalued gender crisis Cruz’s angel must negotiate throughout the film.
07/12/03
Manny is so uninteresting as a pivotal character that he's a black hole who sucks away our investment in the film.
09/04/03
A contrived, witless piece of work...a tune titled 'I Want To Be Bad'...could be the movie's theme song.
08/18/03
Likely to pass through American box offices sin noticias.
07/10/03
A sultry, pretty thing with a few good ideas: in other words, stuck in limbo.
