Königinnen auf der Flucht

Stumbling upon the 2023 Mexican comedy "Fuga de Reinas" (aka "Queens on the Run") while perusing the available movies on Netflix, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie, based on the synopsis. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, however.

Writer Martha Higareda put together an enjoyable enough script for director Jorge Macaya to bring the screen. "Fuga de Reinas" is a road-trip movie with a bit more to it, and there were a fair amount of funny moments throughout the 96 minutes that the movie ran for, and the character gallery was definitely interesting, and those helped to set "Fuga de Reinas" aside from numerous other road-trip movies.

The acting performances in the movie were good. And given my very limited exposure to Mexican cinema, I have to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list. But it should be noted that the performances on the screen were good, and they definitely had some good talents on the cast list.

"Fuga de Reinas" is a light-hearted comedy, one that unfortunately came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression on me. Director Jorge Macaya's 2023 movie is good for a single viewing, but there simply isn't enough contents to the script to support more than a single viewing.

My rating of "Fuga de Reinas" lands on a five out of ten stars.

I didn't want to juge this movie from its beginning, but it just got worse... the movie was way to much and did not have a context that would hook watchers to watch the rest of the movie. This movie doesn't have one still plot line that would carry on to the very end, more so a meaningless event that happed so the main characters can come together to have problems that just don't make any sense throughout the movie the main characters just got thrown a of string problems that some effected them some more then the other but the main problem of this movie was that how bad the problems are and how they just didn't have any sense.

In my opinion this movie was actually a pretty good one? In disagreement with other people this movie is great. It is labeled as a comedy movie. What did you guys expect? I was laughing out loud in my room at 6 am because everything was funny surely some jokes are "too old" or "been done before" but what's wrong with that? That doesn't make those jokes unfunny? If you laughed you laughed that's all it is. Great movie, great actors. Great production,Glad i watched it. Maybe it's only "flaw" would be the lack of a plot but in my opinion if the movie is comedic and made me laugh then that movie is good and that's all i care about.

This film will be on lists of worst Mexican movies of 2023. It seems like they try to force women's empowerment into a cheesy comedy. The film focuses solely on female lead characters while making all male characters non important. The comedy is juvenile with the typical fart jokes, repetition, and absurd storylines like adding a random rooster. It's disappointing to see Martha Higareda as lead writer of the film. Having followed her podcast I thought she would show more creativity. Instead it seams like Netflix is just filling a quota for Mexican content while they poke fun of serious problems like kidnappings, the drug trade, corruption and poverty.

Place all your assumptions aside. If you're secure enough with your masculinity or toxic views of gender roles, sit back and enjoy the movie. Four women are journeying to a vacation spot only to make discoveries. Not everything is as it seems. Each woman brings their insecurities to the road. Who makes you the person you are, you or your other half? The movie does showcase various types of relationships. You are most likely able to relate to one or another. When you wonder what the connection to this or that character a curveball may come your way. At some level, it has similarities to Thelma and Louise without the crime spree and Brad Pitt. The movie deserves was more than 4.7 rating.
