La casa de las flores - Il film

Summary

For fans of the series (including myself), it is always pleasant to meet again with the De la Mora family. Although the film retains and shows off some successes, (Paulina de la Mora's dialogues and an ingenious staging of its two timelines, among others) and the overall result is inferior to the series, since it cannot (nor does it want to ) reproduce its complexity, it is still agile and fun.

Review:

This long-awaited film by Manolo Caro returns to address the De la Mora family in two different eras: the current one, with the three De la Mora brothers and some other characters and a Virginia de la Mora already married (the mother) with a large part of the youth characters of season 3. In both cases, they all undertake different "missions" to be carried out in the same family home in the framework of two parties.

For fans of the series (including myself), it is always pleasant to meet again with its characters, and although the film retains and shows some successes, the overall result is inferior to the series, since it cannot (nor does it want to) reproduce its complexity.

The general trend in both timelines is that of the comedy of entanglements, although the juvenile characters (especially) take up some elements of the melodrama raised in season 3, so it would be advisable for the viewer to do some review of it.

Among the successes, Manolo Caro appeals to a quite virtuous way of linking both timelines and the youthful characters look more human, thicker than the current ones and some situations raised are undoubtedly funny. But, without a doubt, it is Paulina de la Mora (the wonderful Cecilia Suárez) who keeps intact the magnetism of her already iconic character and the sharpness and humor of her dialogues are the best and the best of the film.

I liked? No .. enjoy it? Yes. It seems strange but it is true, honestly I cannot value it as I would with any movie in the industry because it would only say bad things, this is the example of a movie where everything could be better but seeing what has been done with the second and third seasons of the series, this is a step in the right direction.

This movie is a nice ending for "La casa de las flores".

Of course it is not a fantastic movie but, it is entertaining and if before you fell in love with the characters, it´s going to be nice to see all of them again.

I really enjoyed it. A funny bizarre humor like in the series is what you get. Cecilia Suárez, best role.

This movie made no sense whatsoever it tried doing the typical cliche plot where a group of people elaborate a master plan to find/steal something valuable. Usually fun to watch even if it's been done one too many times, except the plan made no sense, the characters were all over the place with no clear order as to what role they each played in this "elaborate plan". The movie was kinda fun to watch only because you already know and love the characters otherwise there is no way this movie could ever stand on its own.
