This disconcerting film packs amusement , comical as well as absurd situations , tongue-in-cheek , surrealist comedy , adding conventional pitfalls and many other things . At a humble local secondary school we find Emilio (Mario Casas) a shy , not too brilliant student who has always harbored a secret love for Natalia (Amaia Salamanca), the cutest , brightest girl in the class . Then Emilio pursues the girl of his life to Oxford , determined to win her under the total help his friends . His best outcast friends are the followings : Chuli (Alberto Amarilla) who is blind , Wheels or Ruedas (Gorka Lasaosa) who is a hunger-sex as well as paraplegic young , Cabra (Canco Rodríguez) who is a drug dealer and Corneto (Pablo Penedo) who is a hidden gay . As in Oxford is Natalia , the girl who fell in love when they were children and who rekindles his past childhood romance . After faking qualifications and scholarships by hacker skills , this band of brainless nuts land in Oxford , causing havoc in the normally peaceful campus existence . There his friends decide to help him to get closer to her . After that , the motley and misfit group of underdogs goes into action . However , for each plan that they carry out , the things go wrong . Everything that you can imagine is far from the stupid things that may happen them , as it results in an twisted ending celebration turned upside down .
It is an extremely funny film with entertaining events , giggles , emotion , craziness , binge , twists and intimate love stories . This is an nice and crazy comedy starred by a varied group of young actors ; it packs amusement , slapstick , comical situations , tongue-in-cheek , surrealist comedy including conventional pitfalls and many other things . This is a fast insane movie with a lot of fun situations , antics , bemusement and with a bunch of very hilarious roles . This is another Spanish comedy romp , it is a bemusing story that contains lots of humor , entertainment , funny incidents and involving a bunch of young students who carry out a lot of frolics , do mischief , vandalism and acts of hooliganism to get their purports . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind , and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with numerous naughty and picaresque situations such as sex jokes , bad taste , threesome and adult scenes . This is a typical Spanish comedy from the 2000s similarly to "Three Many Weddings" or ¨3 Bodas De Más¨ by Javier Ruiz Caldera , ¨La Gran Familia Española¨ by Daniel Sanchez Arevalo and ¨Quién mató a Bambi?¨ (2013) by Santi Amodeo with habitual ingredients , such as silly humor , embarrassing events and close relationships among people . It turns out to be pleasantly fun that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever ; an exercise in pure amusement in which entertainment and fun are guaranteed . The characters are quite odd , grotesque and weird and the film races on at incredible speed with the geek friends proceeding their embarrassing as well as harebrained schemes . My feelings are extremely mixed but I must admit there are things I haven't been able to stop laughing about it ; however , it also contains bad taste , piggy humor , abound sexual remarks , profanity and grossed themes . A few of the scenes are amusing , they elicit chuckles but no very enjoyable laughs . Well produced by known television producers as Mercedes Gámero , Alex Pina and Daniel Ecija .
The motion picture was regularly directed by Fernando González Molina .

While the first installment ¨Brain drain¨ was starred by Emilio/Mario Casas , here the main role goes to his the younger brother , Alfonso Carbajosa , Adrian Lastra , playing a similar role , chasing his dream girl with the same harebrained schemes his brother used in Oxford.
