"Dame Tu Cuerpo" (Gimme Your Body) Debuts in L.A. April 29
The opposite sex: If you can’t beat ‘em, join’ em.

Los Angeles – April, 2005 – ¡Viva Tu Cine!, the Spanish-language film series in association with HispanoFilms, will debut the highly successful Mexican comedy “Dame Tu Cuerpo” (Gimme Your Body) on April 29 in several theaters throughout Los Angeles . “Dame Tu Cuerpo” is directed by Rafael Montero (“Cilantro y Perejil”) starring Rafael Sánchez Navarro, Luz Maria Zetina and Pedro Álvarez Tostado.

From the screenwriter of the hit film “Todo el Poder” (All the Power) Enrique Renteria, “Dame Tu Cuerpo” is about a hapless trio. German is a successful executive who is madly in love with Jacqueline. Jacqueline can’t stand German’s best friend, Alex, because of his chauvinist ways. Before they get married, German has one great wish: that his girlfriend and his best friend can finally get along. On the night of German’s bachelor party, a strange disturbance in the cosmos causes Jacqueline and Alex to switch bodies. They will have three days to discover the answer, before the change becomes permanent and German must decide which of the two he will marry.
