The script for this film has several things going for it, but the weak direction leaves a lot to be desired.
The story is decent, since it's a remake and there's material to work with, but the direction ruins almost any standout moment. There are several things that are raised but do not culminate in a great impact on the plot, such as the concept of second chances, getting older and be rejected by your family and the differences between the younger and older generations, leaving an empty message and little material to create an impact on the viewer. The story drags on a lot from the second half, especially at the end where you already know how everything will end. The performances are good, Veronica Castro does not surprise but does not disappoint either, Natasha Dupeyrón has charisma but rarely seemed that she was playing the same role as Veronica, they seemed like two very different personalities, the rest of the cast interpret their characters as previous roles, the others technical aspects are flat, nothing surprising. The comedy worked on very few occasions, the jokes that occur between young people and older adults are wasted.
It is a film that brings out some laughs, that is entertaining most of the time, but it does not go beyond that, all the topics that it touches very superficially are wasted, and despite the fact that the director has the opportunity to translate interesting concepts into a potentially funny story, he just doesn't do it, just as he wastes the talent of all the actors involved, knowing that they can do a memorable job, he just doesn't take them out of their comfort zone.
