This is a wonderfully black & hilarious spanish film by Alex de la Iglesia (Crimen ferpecto)as only the spanish know how to make fun of themselves.
The story centers around Rafael Gonzalez as the chauvanist & macho manager of the ladies department in a large store who accidentally kills a rival and is blackmailed but the nightmarish salesgirl, Lourdes, marvellously camped up by Mónica Cervera.
It's colorful, kitsch & wickedly funny.
I think it's just been released in the US so do give it a go if it comes your way.
I just hope that Hollywood doesn't decide to clone it!
