Strong-willed Luisa attracts lots of men, but her intelligence and sharp tongue often sends them running. When she meets Carlos, who is equally cagey, sparks fly.

The first of these three stories is funny, but I feel takes too long to get to the point. The second is rather moralistic about true values and the purity of the Mexican indigenous. Probably the weakest of the three. The last one, is fun. The main actors, huge stars, provide everything you'd expect. It's funny and witty. It even could have worked as a whole film onto its own.
