Isi-Disi, Rough Love (Spanish; Castilian: '''Isi/Disi: Amor a lo bestia'''|links=no) is a 2004 Spanish comedy film directed by from a screenplay by Joaquín Górriz and Miguel Ángel Fernández which stars Santiago Segura, Jaydy Michel, and Florentino Fernández.
The plot follows the implementation of courtship mechanisms by kalimotxo-loving metalhead friends from Leganés (Isi and Disi) with beautiful and posh Joaquín Sabina-loving Mexican university student Vanessa.[1]
The film was produced by Lolafilms and MTV Films Europe in association with Intuition Films, and it had the participation of TVE and Canal+. It boasted a €3.6 million budget.[2]
Distributed by United International Pictures (UIP), the film was released theatrically in Spain on 23 July 2004. It was the second largest-grossing Spanish film at the domestic box office in 2004.[3]
Casimiro Torreiro of El País warned that "its coarse comic tone, its gutted humor, and its textbook patriarchalism make this film strictly inadvisable for sensible spirits".[4]
Jonathan Holland of Variety assessed that the "desperately unimaginative script is compensated for by cast's obvious determination to have a good time and thesps' marquee power".[5]
