L'Effet grêlon

It's an entertaining movie, it's not the best of Francella, but it's good. It is a comedy that seeks to show what social networks are doing to the world in a comical way.

Another/my version of the pros and cons of the movie: Pros:

• nice production/scenarios (nice houses, Buenos Aires, Cordova and the hills of Argentina)
• quite funny dialogs, specially from the main character, who is a pretty good actor
• nice story about job/ego versus family

Cons:

• scientifically inaccurate and absurd, but who cares? Just play along

Good enough to provide a nice time in a Saturday night.

A meteorologist famed for his accurate predictions on the news gets his very own show...for one night. Because of an unexpected storm he loses all credibility and gains something much more valuable.

As his error puts his life on the line in Argentina's capital city: Buenos Aites; he goes into hiding in in his hometown, specifically his estranged daughter's place. Here the plot turns into a story of family, forgiveness and not forgetting ones' past, whilst storms rage around him!

Without shoving Climate Crisis down viewers' throats, the film hints at the unpredictability and growing harshness of Mother Nature's ire with the darkest sense of humour Argentina has produced. The heartfelt reconciliation of father and daughter is as short as the storms the film portrays, and not as visually impressive!

Not an Armageddon or a 2012 disaster film, but a lovely finding yourself film with storms in the background.

5/10 why?

The good

• Nice viewings
• Some funny jokes
• Quite entertaining
• Good performance of the cab driver (Peto Menahem) and the meteorologist (Guillermo Francella)

The bad

• Dull plot
• Very long
• Bad special effects
• Quite exaggerated
• Not drama, not quite funny, not moving, what is this?

Those are some thoughs of the movie i came from with, i just recomend turning off your brain an enjoying a movie that is just to spend so time at the sofa.

Nice light hearted easy watching movie. Quite catching actually. And shows some Argentinian culture, landscapes and Buenos Aires city. Recommended for someone looking for an entertaining movie.
