A good and funny movie at least for Spanish viewers

Novios 68 is a really funny film. Although there are other great Spanish actors in the cast (López Vázquez, Alfredo Landa, Gracita Morales), it seems that Arturo Fernández has over his shoulders almost the whole movie's weight, and my impression is that he succeeds until the end. His performance becomes hilarious at times: Arturo is a theatre actor and that's something easy to note. His eternal look of rascal adds funniness to the film's atmosphere. I don't know if foreign people would enjoy this one, but I do. 7 out of 10 is my rating.
