An amusing and fun film but disconcerting story with ridiculous incidents and surprising happenings. It is an acceptable movie but containing absurd events and embarrassing adventures . However, the musical acting, charming songs and enjoyable set pieces make it for the non-sense script. The disconcerting screenplay doesn't make much sense, but it has its moments here and there. Catching songs originally composed by Dolly Parton, Henry Mendez, Linda Thompson and Annie Lennox. Being wonderfully performed by Richard Collins, Macarena Garcia, Anna Castilla, Gracia Olayo and Belen Cuesta. These actors are completed by brief apparitions, almost cameos, by secondaries as Secun de la Rosa, Nuria Herrero and film producer himself : Enrique Lopez Lavigne.
