Mi suegra me odia

The directing? Awful. The screenwriting? Even more awful. It does not help that the principal character speaks like a mr beast dub, the main relationship is toxic as hell, and the own movie is confused as to what it is, is it comedy? Is it satire of other movies of the style?

And just don't take my word for it, several people left the screening at different points.

I generally try to look at the positive things over the bad things but seriously there was not even something good in this movie (maybe except the character of pilar and the performance by Itati Cantoral)

I was physically aching by the end.

Watch at your own risk.

This movie makes you want to pee in your pants. At times it is really absurd and at others, really emotional, but what I thought was most striking, was the take on extremism. The MIL is extremely vegetarian, to the point of accusing people who eat meat to be murderers, bad people. The daughter in law, Clara, tries her best to hide most aspects of her life, including the fact that she eats meat, in order to accomodate her. At the end, Clara realizes that she shouldn't try to hide who she is in order to be liked, even if the person in front of you is the mother of your bf. It's a nice film with a message that resonates a lot with cancel culture, and what the extremist views of some people cause on others.

Mi suegra me odia portrays the latin mother-in-laws, that have historically been deemed as overprotective. She has the typical issues with her son, she misses him, and believes the reason he doesn't come visit as often is because of his new romance. She finds fault in almost every little thing that the gf does, to the point that the poor gilr starts trying to resemble the mom to gain her approval. She starts trying to become more like her, and she starts participating in some of the things that she tought were awful, such as being an extreme vegan, or doing witchcraft rituals.

The son has a serious case of "mamitis" of being a momma's boy. At the end, as in every comedy, this mirrors life, and if you like a comedy about a disfunctional family-a truly disfunctional one-, you'll like this movie.

This is a wonderful comedy, I had an amazing time at the theatre. Everyone was laughing hard at all the scenes. Itati Cantoral, mostly known for her role as La Maldita lisiada, was so funny as a mother-in-law villain. The movie also hints at some of the pop culture that has made her famous, such as singing "La guadalupana", and screaming ¡Maldita lisiada! Loretto Bernal is a revelation as well, she is the screenwriter as well as the main character. This movie has action sequences, songs, conjunring, even a bit of horror! I totally recommend you watch it, in theatres. You will have a laugh, guaranteed!

I just watched this movie in the theatre, and I thought it was one of the most original I've seen in a while. The main character has OCD, and the movie deals with how people are prejudiced against mental illnesses. The mother-in-law wants to help the main character by giving her a bogus treatment. It was hilarious.

The ensemble was really fun to watch. It's a fantastic comedy, with a bit of the "horrors" of dealing with a mother-in-law who doesn't understand mental illnesses at first, and ends with a sweet message about accepting your family just as it is. I'm definitely watching again. Perfect for the holiday season.
