Mamá no enRedes

Very mediocre modern Spanish comedy with the fine actress Malena Alterio playing Clara, a divorced woman and mother of two teenagers open to new experiences who decides to create a profile on TLINK, the trendy dating app. The turning point begins when Dani : Óscar Ortuño , her meddling son , discovers her profile and decides , together with her sister Milena : Sofia Oria , to embark on a delirious adventure of boycotting her mother's flirts. When the woman starts a more serious relationship with a young Argentine , Leo : Juan Grandinetti, they convince him that he's only going to make her suffer. Only that the strategies of the brothers will have the opposite effect than desired, there will be more and more men in their mother's life and nothing will turn out as they expect.

"Mamá no en Redes" is a comedy that tries to show how dating applications or social networks can completely destabilize roles within the family . A fun but uneven comedy with a juicy approach and it even seemed funny to me, but as the minutes go by , it sinks into nonsense and disconcerting development. Malena Alterio is nice , and she does what she can , but many situations, as they progress, are shocking, lacking the minimum and scant logic that the genre requires.

The premise was interesting but the film doesn't work due to some forced performances , too easy humor and a script that gets entangled in absurd nonsense . To the point that it fails to arouse laughter , resulting to be a real flop. The film addresses the generational clash between mothers and children, topics such as the ways of flirting, the Tinder or Red Flags typical of the first date, as well as the new ways of relating that disrupt the established rules on how a family should be and what place it should occupy each .

Malena Alterio is the center of a comedy that is funny but irregular at times, in which the female characters are far better than the male ones, an imbalance that rebounds weighs down the final interest . The film has a good cast headed by Malena Alterio, Eva Ugarte (Madres), Antonio Pagudo (La Que se avecina), Sofia Oria (Gigantes, Libertad), Antonio Garrido (Los Protegidos), Maria Castro (Sin Tetas no hay Paraiso) , among others.

It has nothing special, but it can be seen with some pleasure , while developing in ups and downs. It is a diverting and entertaining, at times , and you can't ask for much more. Regularly directed by Daniela Féjerman who's a specialist in this type of friendly comedies. Daniela is a craftswoman , writer and fimmaker as cinema as TV , such as : "Semen una historia de amor" , "7 minutos" , "Alguien que cuide de mí" , "La Montaña Rusa" , "El sindrome de Ulises" , among others. Rating : Average, 4.5/10 . Only for hardcore Spanish comedy fans .
