Too much of everything

good back-story, and good acting

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

For the first reviewer: I would like to say that yes, maybe in Mexico we don't have the experience of Hollywood, the best directors or writers, but I think it's a lot most important to consider before such other characteristics form the movie like the message and with that, what impact it will have on the society, and those are the best cualities from this film. Maybe I don't know a lot about acting, or movies but one thing I know is that you can not say this is a bad movie, generally talking, when in my country it is consider by many as the best Mexican movie ever made, and it was liked by many other people in America (and by saying America I am talking about the whole continent, not just United States), and other Spanish talking countries, so it doesn't matter how much you know and can review about movies, you can't go against the opinion of the mayority, unleast they are mistaken, what I think it's not the case, so I would like you to think about not saying the whole movie is bad for those detalis, instead saying it's considered a great movie by many, but it has those deficiencies. Thank you Pd: I apologize about my bad English, but as I said my First language is Spanish.

This film is full of emotions. Despite the fact that the plot feels "empty", it manages to center your attention on things people don't really care about anymore. It successfully adds comedy elements to what seems to be dominated by drama. Although it seems to try to hard to make you feel emotionally engaged to the film, that doesn't make it less pleasant. The acting was better than descent; so was the filming. The only flaws would be the ending, which keeps you waiting for something that never happens and how some characters start with few importance and end with a lot of importance, and vice versa. Overall, this is an excellent Mexican movie that does not involve drug cartels or criminals as protagonists (which was about time).

In my opinion, the worst thing a movie can do, is try to be something it isn't or try to give a message by forced and melodramatic actions, this film does all this, not only is the story corny, but it tries to reach the audinece by presenting corny and "sweet" situations but it tries to hide the fact that is doing all this just so you can "feel" something while watching it, so please let me warn you, don't be fooled by this hoax of a film, but watch the quality that Mexican cinema has brought on the last years, films like "El Infierno", "Malos Habitos", or "Desierto Adentro", look for authenticity and real emotions, not this film. ; )PD: Two stars out of ten, one for the acting lead, who does a nice job, even if the script is a letdown, and the other because the film was made in Guanajuato, a beautiful mexica city.

First of all, this movie is amazing! From the trailer, I didn't really know what to expect. I was sort of expecting one of you typical 5/10 star Mexican medium budget film. Boy, was I surprised.The acting was top notch, the jokes were perfectly executed and I could really identify with various characters. The DP work was amazing and I fell in love even more with the beautiful city of Guanajuato.The only problem I had (which also prevented me from giving this movie a 10) was that this movie tried to deal with too many stories for its 90 min length. I sometimes felt like the subplots were a little bit rushed and that some scenes were missing back story or were even a little bit pointless.Aside from that, (I won't give away spoilers) but I was crying and going through the same emotions as the characters towards the end (and I sincerely almost never experience that nowadays).Final Verdict: You have gotta see this movie!
