the leading man is my tpye

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is a sin that this film isn't widely marketed, known & watched. It handles a tough subject. It presents both the highs and the lows elegantly and warmly. This is a 10* on an absolute basis, but even more so relative to the hackneyed, politicized tripe Hackneyedwood makes out of this type of story. I have said it in other reviews and I'll say it again: If you want to see good stories told simply and well, without a bunch of BS layered on top, and without a bunch of over-acting, you have to AVOID HACKNEYEDWOOD & watch films like this.

This is a touching look at multiple sclerosis (MS) and how it gradually wreaks havoc on a family, but ultimately helps build the family's unity and sense of belonging, too. Dani Rovira is very good in the central role, and he is capably seconded by his father in law, played by Elejalde, and his wife, played by the beautiful Alexandra Jimenez, who shows what a woman's quiet and unwavering love can do for a man. There are many memorable sequences in the movie, but I liked in particular the exchanges among the MS patients who congregate for treatment. Life is a very flimsy and wanton thing, and watching this movie only heightened my perception of how privileged I am to be alive, healthy, and with my own beloved wife and family.

This is one of the best movies I have seen. I will buy the DVD for my collection. Even with the subtitles it was great! I give it a 10 star even with the f___ words! I am also glad I did not read any critical reviews ahead of time that might have discouraged me from watching this on Netflix. Hollywood would have spoiled this story. The Spanish production was great. In the title it says this is a comedy, but I did not see it as thus. It is dramatic, but not depressing drama. You instinctively know it is going to have a good ending and that he and his crabby father-in-law will grow close. This is a movie that leaves you feeling good at the end. Give me more movies like this! Too bad they used the F word because it could have a much larger audience.

This is unexpectedly good movie. What I love about European movies is that end is not easily predictable. There is no happy end guaranteed, you are not sure what will happen until the very last minutes of the movie. Also, intelligent humor is something I appreciate. In this movie it is so well put with the rest of the, not so funny, story. Do not skip this one.
