Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
erickhuelsz 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.
ar656 Someone I trust recommended this film to me. I was really surprised. It was really bad, and got worse with each and every minute. Basically, it is a Disney movie, only the bad American actors were replaced by bad Mexican actors.Maybe, as years pass by, I might be able to forgive the friend that enticed me to spend valuable time watching this sorry piece of wasted celluloid. Time that I will never get back.This is not just one of the worst movies I have ever seen, but the worst Mexican movie I've ever seen, without any doubt. If they have the Razzies in Guanujato, this movie would walk away with all the prices.
jorgearturo I choose to see this movie expecting to see either of two, a comedy (National Lampoon's Van Wilder) or a touch in the heart movie (Death poets society, with honors) but I found neither of those.At first it seems to be a comedy, an old man going back to school, entering the classroom he finds the students believing he is the teacher until the teacher arrives. But that's the only fun part in the movie. The other "fun" parts are boring and predictable.The seriousness of the film starts, with predictable ultra moralist scripts, and non believable performances, forced histories, not related to each other, is like seeing a Mexican soap opera. --SPOILER ALERT-- The death of the wife was so forced and stupid to the story is like trying to force the audience to cry so pathetic.The end of the film is one of the worst things. It sucks big time, but people are praising the story because is ultra moralist, and church friendly, not because is a good film, is the kind of story moms want to show their kids to "teach them" some good things.
Adolfo Kahan 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!
