Reines en fuite

Actually more like theirs - but I wanted to make sure it is clear it is female driven (which I reckon one could call the second pun I make already - no pun intended for either of them of course). The movie is weird - and funny at times. Some jokes land, some others ... could have been better. Overall the movie itself seems unsure what it is - there does not seem to be a clear through line or whatever you would call it.

So you get different vibes from this. The actors are fine overall - and there is some mayhem towards the end that I really loved (it went beyond anything I would think it would do) ... it is female empowerment and it may just be exactly right for you. I am not going to tell anyone they are wrong in loving this - same is true for those who were not able to find much to like in this ... I wanted to like this more and it is endearing in some respect to ... so there is that.

Place all your assumptions aside. If you're secure enough with your masculinity or toxic views of gender roles, sit back and enjoy the movie. Four women are journeying to a vacation spot only to make discoveries. Not everything is as it seems. Each woman brings their insecurities to the road. Who makes you the person you are, you or your other half? The movie does showcase various types of relationships. You are most likely able to relate to one or another. When you wonder what the connection to this or that character a curveball may come your way. At some level, it has similarities to Thelma and Louise without the crime spree and Brad Pitt. The movie deserves was more than 4.7 rating.

Stumbling upon the 2023 Mexican comedy "Fuga de Reinas" (aka "Queens on the Run") while perusing the available movies on Netflix, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie, based on the synopsis. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, however.

Writer Martha Higareda put together an enjoyable enough script for director Jorge Macaya to bring the screen. "Fuga de Reinas" is a road-trip movie with a bit more to it, and there were a fair amount of funny moments throughout the 96 minutes that the movie ran for, and the character gallery was definitely interesting, and those helped to set "Fuga de Reinas" aside from numerous other road-trip movies.

The acting performances in the movie were good. And given my very limited exposure to Mexican cinema, I have to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list. But it should be noted that the performances on the screen were good, and they definitely had some good talents on the cast list.

"Fuga de Reinas" is a light-hearted comedy, one that unfortunately came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression on me. Director Jorge Macaya's 2023 movie is good for a single viewing, but there simply isn't enough contents to the script to support more than a single viewing.

My rating of "Fuga de Reinas" lands on a five out of ten stars.

I hope you had a zero rating for this, Mexican filmmakers, writers, actors are much more than this, we can't stand to have this zero quality movies anymore, we deserve better. Even entertaining movies can have quality. I wish, I hope some of the filmmakers, actors in Mexico can see this review, it says nothing but it it says a lot with my qualification. Stop doing garbage! If you are funded by IMCINE you are waisting public money, if you made this only with Netflix fund, shame of you Netflix, who sold you that idea?! I can see televisa (yes in low caps, they don't deserve better) legacy on this, cheap content. WTF were you thinking? Let's put the hot topics we suffer today to be in? Shame, shame, shame.

In my opinion this movie was actually a pretty good one? In disagreement with other people this movie is great. It is labeled as a comedy movie. What did you guys expect? I was laughing out loud in my room at 6 am because everything was funny surely some jokes are "too old" or "been done before" but what's wrong with that? That doesn't make those jokes unfunny? If you laughed you laughed that's all it is. Great movie, great actors. Great production,Glad i watched it. Maybe it's only "flaw" would be the lack of a plot but in my opinion if the movie is comedic and made me laugh then that movie is good and that's all i care about.
