Padre no hay más que uno 2: La llegada de la suegra

I was really expecting this film to be a laugh.... and now 3 days after watching I am still waiting. The children's acting is mostly appaling, they seem so unnatural like they are reading their lines - and they are not very good at reading. The entire time you get the feeling that the jokes are forced and shoved up your ass and, whether you like it or not, it's time to laugh. It could only be made worse by adding artificial laughter such as happened in the 80s sitcoms. Really, really, terrible.

As good as the first, the children's performance is incredible, the script is agile, it doesn't miss a joke, but everything tastes good and fun, it could easily turn into a series, what a delight to watch, I already want the 3...

Enjoyable Spanish comedy about a likeable family formed by two understanding parents and their several children . Set 2020, City of Madrid, center to Spain and capital's country. According to himself, Javier (Santiago Segura) is allegedly the perfect father , working in full-time .

But it was fun anyway. Good acting by the kids and mr. Segura is the ace of the spades. Spanish spanish is like ''il tempo gigante'' on grand turbo, they spray their verbals like a tommygun, and im always limping half a line behind having to read english cc's but this was a funny movie for sure, could actually work in hollywood too or was it vice versa.

Habla espanole?? Do have a look with your kids is the grumpy old mans advice.

I enjoyed this movie. It's not high drama by any means, but the kids are adorable and can act very well for the most part, and the plot is enjoyable. A fun 1 1/2 hours spent :)
