More Detail:
In the Mexican comedy BUSCO NOVIO PARA MI MUJER, a husband is afraid to tell his wife that he wants a divorce, so he hires another man to seduce her. This Spanish romantic comedy comes across as only mediocre while its moral values are often upside down when it comes to the sanctity of marriage.
In BUSCO NOVIO PARA MI MUJER, a disturbing trend has developed in the relatively young marriage of Paco and Dana. Every morning Paco must listen to his wife complain about all her pet peeves in life while the smoke from her cigarette drifts into his face. Not only are her complaints expressed in the privacy of their breakfast table conversation, they also manifest themselves in the form of sarcastic jokes at dinner parties aimed at the others in attendance. After one such incident, Paco decides he’s had enough and wants a divorce. The only problem is, he’s afraid to tell Dana.
At the local soccer league where Paco plays goalie, his teammates motivate him to have the courage to break things off with his wife. That night Paco returns home with renewed determination only to chicken out. Again his teammates step in and suggest he get someone else to do the job for him. There is an infamous seducer of women, called Tiger, who’s never failed to win over the love of any woman he’s ever pursued. Paco figures it might be easier to break up their marriage and then mutually agree on divorce, so he meets with Tiger and the two come to an agreement.
Tiger requests all the information about Dana that Paco can provide, and then tells Paco to get Dana out of the house so he’ll have opportunities to meet her. Paco arranges for Dana to get a job at a small radio station, making up the excuse that having something to do will lift her out of the depression she’s experienced for some time. However, there’s a lot of truth to that excuse.
Dana’s new on-air show is an unexpected success, and Tiger ramps up his efforts to win her affection. This does wonders for Dana’s personality, and she becomes more like the old Dana Paco fell in love with in the first place.
Curious as to how his plan is proceeding, Paco spies on Tiger and Dana. While nothing serious has happened between the two yet, Tiger instructs Paco to stay distant from his wife so he can do his job. Paco is forced to spurn his wife’s romantic advances even though he wants to submit to them. Dana interprets this as him not wanting her. Paco soon realizes he doesn’t want a divorce after all, but as things quickly spiral out of control, he’s afraid it may be too late.
The story in BUSCO NOVIO PARA MI MUJER moves along fairly well until towards the end when the crisis point is reached. That is where it hits a snag and things suddenly enter the picture which have no precedent in the previous hour of the movie. After a couple of somewhat confusing scenes, everything goes back to normal. At least the ending is a little unpredictable, leaving the outcome up to the very last second. Despite the negatives, the movie does live up to its genre. The movie some good laughs.
Sadly, the entire plot revolves around an unbiblical view of marriage. Not only is divorce condoned, but cheating as well across the board. Only one minor character in the movie suggests that Paco should stay with his wife and work things out. This is offhandedly dismissed as a ludicrous idea in favor of the more sane option: divorce. The only silver-lining is that when it comes down to it, Paco is deeply disturbed seeing his wife with another man and decides that divorce isn’t the solution. Although no actual sex is shown on the screen, there are discussions of Tiger’s sexual exploits. Also, Tiger goes through a list with Paco of the sort of sexual situations Dana likes. There is also some foul language and lying. Extreme caution is advised for BUSCO NOVIO PARA MI MUJER.
