I saw this Spanish language film with English subtitles yesterday with four other people. All of us rated this as a good film, and only three of five of us spoke Spanish, so I think anyone could enjoy the movie, even if one had to read the subtitles, which were very clear.
As the film begins, it seems like a typical romantic comedy, and maybe it ultimately is, but the actors, the direction, the camera work, and the soundtrack combine to carry the film's all too familiar plot. Especially good are the lead actress herself(Aislinn Derbez)and the music soundtrack.
I do wish there would have been more scenes that made the viewer aware that the film was taking place in its supposed setting, México City. There were a few shots, but the film almost gave the impression that it was taking place in the U.S., it looked so clean. But that is a minor detail.
So overall, "A la Mala" is a solid romantic comedy from México. Check it out.
