Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
... View MoreI think this is the best TV show ever. Comedy/drama/romance/whatever...Any on those genres will fit in every episode and always leaves you in a good spirit. Doesn't matter if you're a man or woman.I think this has something to do with Spanish culture and natural charm of the Spanish people.Me, personally I'm finnish and got addicted to the show while on summer holiday as hundreds of thousand more of us in Finland (at least dozens of people i know).I'm sure i'll buy a DVD-compilation if i'll find one somewhere! Most definitely recommend!
... View MoreI started watching the show when I was living in Madrid, and because of that I got sentimentally attached to it. At first, I thought it was only a rip off of the Wonder Years or Cuentame with the exaggerated voice over, but what I appreciate of the show now is that it's the first series to capture Spanish humor quite well. It plays on stereotypes, and many of the episodes are too formulaic, but if you give the show an opportunity it will deliver a lot farther than most of the other Spanish series I've seen. The show should play down the emphasis on marketing its music (AKA Fran Perea, and the next generation of the show) and go back to what it does best: parodying other shows and movies with a Spanish twist.
... View MoreWhen this show started it had quite a simple idea: the possible love story between a boy and girl who become brother and sister after their parents get married. Once the first season was over they were completely out of ideas and they just kept making chapters with the minimum effort required and putting whatever was necessary to keep up the share rate, usually sexual topics. The female main character's (eva) quasy-nudity became common and every possible morbid issue was treated in the worst way possible. They also simplified the plot making all the chapters almost identical: There's some kind of misunderstanding (usually the men are the ones who are wrong, because in this show heterosexual men are just totally irrational and simple beings who are always horny) where something terrible is suspected, finally women show them how things really are. Fran Perea's contribution is hard to forget: he can't sing nor act and he's not attractive but somehow he managed to make people forget those facts. Antonio Resines' performance is exactly the same that he always does in every show. This show has been used to launch Perea's and the children's musical career, being both suffered nowadays. 0 out of 1348
... View MoreI watch Los Serrano more or less regularly and I think it is a very good series. It might be true that it's becoming like most series, with lots of love triangles and such, but there is always something interesting every week. That's why I keep watching it. It is very funny how Diego, Fiti and Santiago get themselves worked up over nothing and it always ends up in difficult situations. I like the way the kids get into all kind of trouble. In conclusion, as long as you can understand Spanish pretty well, Los Serrano is a good series you are sure to enjoy. At least I do, and I don't know very many people who don't. If you like Los Serrano, other series I recommend are: - Aqui no hay quien viva. - Aida. - 7 vidas. And a personal favorite, which doesn't have very much to do with Los Serrano: - Hospital Central.
