"While 'Y tu mamá también' (2001) indeed spotlights the allure of Maribel Verdú, let's not overlook the other leading ladies. Ana López Mercado notably makes her nude debut in this story about lustful young men, striking a harmonious chord with an amiable sex scene that showcases her appealing figure, which holds its own beside Verdú's seasoned presence. Despite Hollywood often overlooking emerging Latina stars, Mercado ensures our attention remains firmly on the rising talent."
