While it was well made and the acting was great for what they had to work with, the script was boring and not funny. I gave it to the halfway mark and it just didn't grab me. I saw the original and like 95% of remakes it doesn't hold a candle to the original. Why does Hollyweird have to take great movies and ruin them with a remake. The latin part did not bother me at all. The junk with the wedding planner and her desperate attempt at being "hip" was too annoying.
I can only guess that it all comes together at the end but the journey to get there was not worth it. Everything was fine except the script. The script ruined the whole thing. I am guessing if you are a teen to early 20s you might find this entertaining but if you watched the original you will find this bland and annoying. I would have kicked the "wedding planner" out within 5 minutes of her rambling, or whenever she said listen up boomer...She would have been the one listening as the door slammed behind her.
This is definitely a movie that might appeal to younger audiences but not really to older adults. It tries too hard to bash the old and make the new seem like it is best. What annoys me about movies where divorce of older rich couples is that the wife always talks about how she didn't ask for all the money and yet you never see her shopping at Walmart and just saving the extra. The guy wouldn't have to work so hard if the wife wasn't spending the money. And the "you'll never change" bologna is sad. Why should he change? She accepted what he was when she married him. Anyway, those movie tropes annoy me.
