Where sadness and laughter goes hand in hand, and if you want to get under the skin of a fictious family in a movie, then this is a film you should try out. I lost the count of hilarious moments to let loose my laughing spirits when watching this spanish comedy, with all the archtypes and great divides among people of the royal kingdom of spain. I can mention a black/senegalese fullblooded basque gay, a living fleetrap like romantic womanizer, a catalan barcelonic in law, and the allmighty madridian godfather of the family, leaving his homeground with his children to spread the ashes of the queen and natural glue of the family in her birthtown by the coast.
Its a complete and wellcomposed comedydrama thats dragqueen worthy, a film filled with prejudicial standpoints due to natural causes, and im sure that if you hate spanish and spanish film this will convert you into a better persona , thats the grumpy old mans recommendative to this movie, and a clear candidate for a sencond view later.
