A mexican movie like any other
15 June 2020
I've read some reviews complaining about how this film is the same as any other mexican movie, and it is, it is in the same genre as most of the latest mexican movies (Comedy, Romance), it exploits some of the most popular clichés and stereotypes and takes some predictable choices in the story, but all of this is done correctly, it is done organically and succeeds to stay entertaining an relatable to most of the public of the more generic mexican movies. The problems are established right at the beginning of the movie, we get the situation and we can be related, I mean, just about any family with enough money has this kind of problems, but the other side of the coin is also portrayed through the side characters. The film has logic, we know some of the events might seem a bit over the top, but it is all something that can be done in this context, there was not a single moment I thought "Why is this happening?" throughout he whole film, which is one of my most common thoughts most of the newest mexican movies. Just to end, I must say, yes, this is a mexican movie doing most of the same things any other one does, but it does it the right way, and it's great.
