For those who are fans of the great Chespirito, it is great to see a film that reunites the cast of Chaves and Chapolin. The problem is that the film has not aged well.
Here Roberto Bolãnos plays El Chanfle, the ball boy of Mexico's football club America, who faces problems with money and has to deal with his wife's pregnancy.
This is a Latin American story, so I don't think it will appeal to people in other parts of the world.
The cast is the same as in the Chaves and Chapolim series, and the actors are brilliant as always. Still, some are used poorly, for example, María Antonieta de las Nieves, who appears very little. The highlight goes to the drunk played by Raúl Padilla and Angelines Fernández, who plays his wife.
In the '70s, the kind of humor used in this film may have been funny, but it doesn't work for today's audience. The situations are stretched out for too long, and some jokes are repeated. For example, the first time El Chanfle accidentally destroys his boss's office (Rubén Aguirre), it was funny. It was no longer funny by the third time.
I would recommend it for Roberto Bolãnos fans, but not for the general public.
