La Llamada

The reviews for this film are mostly negative, complaining about the move being strange. All I can say is, have you never read a fairytale? Not everything has to make sense for it to be true. I spent most of the movie with a broad grin on my face. It's genuine, warm, and so so happy. Yes, God sings Whitney Houston songs in the movie. And you know what? It feels right. It feels completely, wholly, joyfully right.

This movie is the representation of the best of the spanish comedy. Crazy women with strong personalities. Amazing ideas that will make you laugh so much. And the best is in the details. Truly a movie to be proud of and a great musical.

Plot was slow at first but overall was the perfect mix of romance, drama, and comedy

I went into the movie knowing pretty much nothing about it and i absolutely loved it. I suppose you could say it's a bit unusual but i loved the music, singing and performances, it was overall a great experience to me. I'd recommend watching it for sure, i also recommend keeping an open mind while watching it, let yourself fully enjoy the movie. Only thing I don't like about it is that I couldn't find the music recorded for the movie anywhere to stream or buy(except for two songs, which are both on Spotify and were performed by Macarena García) so that made me sad and i feel like some character backstory was missing but otherwise it is a pretty good movie in my opinion. Though keep in mind I'm a bit of a fan for somewhat strange movie and musicals.

"La Llamada" is a boring, not funny Spanish religious comedy. The movie has however a really good and enjoyable cast led by the beautiful Macarena Gómez, indeed all the actors are great. The problem is the direction and editing: each scene is painfully long and what could have been a good idea for a short is tiring for a full length movie. Nevertheless I managed to get to the end based on Macarena Gómez, whose mere appearance lights the screen.
