Cachorro
Cachorro is an amazing Spanish movie . I loved it ! Unfortunately you will have to be open minded (at least one bit)- or will end up not liking it ( a possibility that is). If you have seen Mala Educacion of Almodovar and any of similar European movies you won`t be shocked by the scenes in Cachorro -- but would rather appreciate the directing talent of Miguel Albaladejo . (soon I am going to watch and review another movie directed by him -- Volando Voy).
The movie can be categorized as drama and comedy at the same time -- some scenes heartbreaking , other really entertaining . The movie addresses several issues ,amongst them :
“1) Is it possible to balance an active/casual sex life with bringing up a child.
2) What makes someone a good parent/guardian?
3) Adoption of children by GLBT individuals or couples
4) The reinvention of what constiutes “family”
5) An introduction to “Bear” culture”

The acting of the actors is remarkable and the soundtrack is amazing.Cachorro is one of the best films I have seen and I highly recommend that you go ahead and watch it.
“Cachorro” draws on many texts … (including “The Jungle Book”, “Peter Pan”, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”, it has a man-all-of-a-sudden-finds-himself-having-to-look-after-a-child story that has echoes of “Three men and a Baby” and “Big Daddy”). {l}
Wanted (1994) Short film review: 
Review of the coming of age classic book Boy’s Life by Robert McCammon . Audio review of the book is included in the article.
Oh yes, I managed to watch this flick now, too. But I have to state: it is a quite good movie, but I did not like it as much as you did… I finished the german review, right now I am working on the english one. Feel free to check it out when it is ready ! Regards, Ikarus
Its a bit provocative movie – even for me . But I guess that is what makes it even more interesting .In any case I linked to your review

I have now watched the film and I really liked it. I loved the acting. Bernado looked so much better with shorter hair. I really had “Close to Leo” in my head when they bought in the HIV thing and the suspense at the end was heartstopping!
It was a great story and highlighted how adults often forget about the child and his or her feelings. Whos the say Bernado would get worse grades if he stayed with his Uncle? The grandmother was still a heartless cow for splinting the boy and his Uncle up!
Would definitely recommend and watch again and again.
Thanks for commenting on the film Monkeyboy67. I appreciate that. Indeed just people often think that what they have decided is the best solution for everyone else. I intend to put some extra footage from the film in the forum too.
