¡Que viva México!

This is a Bollywood length movie, a French Farce done Mexican style. There are all the hallmarks of a farce i.e tons of overacting, dalliances that make no sense and the usual silly characters that are commonplace in satires. Unfortunately, this one is just not well done, and is far too long. There are much better satires produced in Mexico that poke fun at the class structure, rich vs poor etc. The "jokes" in this one are all done poorly, and lack sophistication or good writing. It's amazing that it was funded at all, even more amazing that it could be streamed on a premier site like Netflix!

The movie is a satire of the current discourse of mexican president who talks about fighting corruption and helping the poor people It won't attack the discourse, instead it will show you the real Mexico so you can judge if the discourse is true or not just as with other Luis Estrada movies.

The actors are second to none, Damian Alcazar portraying several characters displays why he is the current best mexican actor. While I was doubtful about Herrera and de la Reguera, now I understand they hired them because they portray a rich family, hence they are well suited for the role.

Great movie, the mexican president tried to censor the movie, and now it is using bots to give bad reviews.

Avoid watching this movie or you will suffer it twice: it's not just bad, it's long. Nothing more to say, avoid it like the plague.

It's a movie with jokes with no punchline, which leverages stereotype after stereotype to try (and fail) to make a half decent joke. The storyline Is repetivie with tons of divergent points that go nowhere and contribute nothing to the plot.

Characters are one dimensional, acting is passable at best, and many of them are just fluff that have tons of screen time but don't contribute to the storyline.

Camera shots and framing is boring, no nice landscapes and no interesting camera movements.

I think the movie is really well done, with a great production and actors. Luis Estrada is amazing, but I was really dissatisfied with this film. Even though it is a sitcom, I really believe in the current times this kind of Mexican stereotypes do not exist anymore. This family and the town is not an actual current reality as it is shown. I am Mexican and I find this movie a little offensive and gives a wrong idea of what Mexico is. I think with the talent of Estrada, there was a big opportunity to show the best of our country and not always talk about the bad stuff. He has done politic criticism in previous films which I really feel greatful for, but this was not the case, this show social problems we have but not with tactical. I think there were things that where not really necessary to make people laugh. I don't mind the three hours, I mind the that is not congruent trying to show some reality but showing characteristics that I don't feel consistent. I do this review with all respect and open to hear opinions. I have plenty of examples to discuss about this film to support my review. Anyways I really wish success and that people don't carry this crazy idea about Mexico worldwide. We are much better that what it's shown in this movie.

Unfortunately it is a waste of time. 3 hours where only the first 40 minutes make you laugh slightly. From then on the movie is meaningless! The acting is good, the cast is good. But the script and direction are terrible. Of the things that bothered me the most were the stereotypes of the Mexican people, the stereotypes that Americans have about Mexico.

They were able to condense the idea, this movie should not last more than 70 minutes. There was no coherent plot, terribly tedious editing.

Don't waste your time watching it. There are better Mexican movies, please choose other film!

Thankyou for read.
