It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie follows the life of a group of friends in Buenos Aires and their relationships with women. Their cultural universe seems to be determined by British bands of the vinyl era (hence the title, Vinyl Days) with exclusion of everything else: even the start of a liaison depends on what songs the prospective partner likes. The protagonists seem to have no cash flow problems, make a living almost without trying and live in well appointed lodgings. There is no reference to anything that happened in Argentina during the period (e. g. the meltdown of the economy in 2001-2002 and the subsequent default and recovery).This said, the characters are well fleshed out, the actors are very good and the dialogs are sharp and true to life (everybody seems to spend an inordinate amount of time psychoanalyzing him/herself and friends). There are many funny moments; perhaps the best one is actor Leonardo Sbaraglia playing a demented version of himself.
