The movie “Un novio para mi mujer,” has for the last two weeks been number one in the box offices of the nation.  It was ahead of blockbusters from the United States like Batman: The Dark Night, the third Mummy movie, and Momma Mia! which opened just this past Thurday. By besting these many cultural imports, this Argentine comedy by Juan Taratuto is doing Argentine cinema proud. The movie stars Adrián Suar and Valeria Bertuccelli, a couple in an unhappy marriage. The man wants to leave his wife but is too afraid of her to do it, so his friends start looking for a man to seduce his wife and give him grounds for divorce.According to the Clarín, in “Un novio’s” opening weekend, 40 percent of tickets sold in Argentina were to see that film, setting a record for sales of a national movie.
