Dime Cuándo Tú

A professional very nerdy guy from the US goes to Mexico to explore his roots, and has a bit of a cultural clash, and a few kind of life-changing experiences -- from the mundane to romance.

It's a farfetched story, farcical, but with some realistic Mexican aspects that makes somewhat different than Hollywood -- subtle farce with somewhat realistic characters one can find in modern Mexico. They are caricatures, yes, but not jerks doing whatever for a laugh, whether it makes sense or not, as I've seen too much of in the past.

Some rom-com clichés in this one, yes -- it's a rom-com, a cliché by definition. But some aspects are different form the typical Hollywood. Made this one fun to watch.

The story feels somewhat different, original, refreshing. The characters and the environment are kind of realistic Mexican (for a farce) with a little different sense of humor. The differences are realistic, not exaggerated -- unlike so many USA films portraying Mexican characters as primitive clichés.

I've never written a review, but after reading some of these harsh criticisms, I felt the need to do so.

The scrip is a pretty standard Rom-Com, but it feels fresh and lighthearted. It has a sincere feel to it, keeping you engaged and involved with the main characters.

The movie feels more like a love letter to DF, Mexico City, with interesting characters/performances that help you connect to the city and the group.

The story is simple, but interesting to keep your attention. I believe it's more of a tale about friendship rather than love, and it does a good job at separating itself from a basic Rom-Com.

Knowing this is the Directors first movie, I'm excited to see more, and hope he continues to utilize his lighthearted and sincere style that could make people fall in love with his movies.

Sometimes a cliche can be used and as a viewer you might not mind that much. Or a movie can be built upon a few of them. Again, depending on your thresshold and what you are able to be forgiving of .. it can work in your and the movies favor.

Something you have to consider when it comes to the movie right here. Dancing around them (no pun intended) may be one way you can look at them. You have to have a soft spot for some romance, drama and light comedy of course ... can you see that in you? And obviously in a movie you are about to watch? Well go ahead and do it then.

Fun, some good funny scenes, very cliché, but cool, our eternal Maria Joaquina (Ludwika Paleta) ...

An enchanting comedy, beautiful places and landscapes, funny performances with a true story that can happen to anyone. the music is the best well selected for each take and for what they want to convey
