Un amore di mamma

I am talking about the title - I have no idea if this is a remake. I would not be surprised. At least the idea and the premise are not really new. But back to the original title, which is more fitting than the english title ... although it also is vacation time I reckon.

It's quite funny how the movie bookends itself with how it began - but also is different ... way different to make the tweaking work. Relationships are fragile - especially when there are things going on ... or broiling under the surface.

Still family is what counts - as some would say. And if you can dig that concept, you will be forgiving of the flaws this has. It is a light comedy after all. Nice soundtrack - especially the bookend song, but also some of the others. Witty enough not to get too sentimental ... or at least winking at the audience when it does.

Of course there are better movies then this one. It falls into the category of "easy movies" with not much new to say. However, the focus it has in the family and in the self-love rather than the typical boy-meets-girl, makes it an above average netflix movie.

Quim Gutierrez does a correct job, but Carmen Machi really stands out in this movie with some very well acted moments.

No long review here just one from the heart! Acting very good and very funny! Locations beautiful! Storyline understandable! A nice movie to watch with family!

I really enjoy this movie, not predictable. Shows the love and relationship with mother/son and how good is when you spend more time to know each other.

Me encanto la película muy divertida.

As an unashamed mummy's boy who used to take mum on holiday when she was with us, I enjoyed this film. It isn't as linear as you might expect it to be and it takes us in some unexpected directions, what needs to be mentioned is the first class soundtrack - it fits nicely into the film.

Spanish comedies are hit and miss but it seems Netflix are making a concerted effort into making some quality Spanish language content and it seems they are on the right path if the likes of 'Amor de Madre' are any evidence of it. Set in Spain and Mauritius. As well as the chemistry between the main acts, you also have the beautiful scenery of Mauritius and of course the storyline, it's a winner from me therefore, nine out of ten.
