Mi suegra me odia

If you like comedy, this one is surely a gem. While it's divisive, and some people don't like it, I think it's because not everyone enjoys parody and irony. The story centers around a mother-in-law, Regina, and her daughter-in-law, Clara, and they hate each other. In a way they look like opposites, but they truly aren't. The two women share their love for Patricio, and are both really controlling in their own ways. Throughout the film we see both find the good in each other, and they learn to accept the fact that they see the world very differently. I felt identified and really happy when Clara's character finally faces the mom, and tells her that she shouldn't hide her true nature because of someone who discriminates against her. I thought it was a really fun film, there were some wacko moments I really enjoyed, some slapstick humor, and some truly ironic bits. The combo is a 10/10 for me.

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.

This is a movie that you could love or hate, depending on whether you love absurd comedy, and a quote of silliness. I really enjoyed the film, and thought it was a really straight forward comedy. No deep feeling messages, just an absurd comedy, with some hilarious jokes. The universe that we go into, is that of a nudist community, where the mother-in-law lives. The mom wants the daughter-in-law to show that she cares about the family by adopting this eccentric tradition. Things get hot and heavy when Patricio's ex shows up and wants to go skinny dipping. Can you imagine something more embarrasing than meeting your in-laws and seeing them naked? That's one of the most over the top and hilarious scenes in the movie. This movie is fresh, and funny. Watch only if you love over-the-top humor. I sure do! I recommend!

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.

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.
