It is an extremely funny film with entertaining events , giggles , emotion , craziness , binge , twists and intimate love stories . This disconcerting film packs amusement , comical as well as absurd situations , tongue-in-cheek , social critique , surrealist comedy , adding conventional pitfalls and many other things . Close comedy well written by Borja Cobeaga and Diego San José , regarding crazy roles , mayhem , antics , frolics , and a moving romances ; including enjoyable interpretations with outcast roles were pretty well developed . The plot is plain and simple as Chema falls really in love with Claudia and is patiently waiting for her to realize it and she actually wants him to buy her a drink and stay in the friend zone . The best parts of the movie result to be the documentary interludes in which are shown animal behaviours similarly to human beings , such as ¨La Cobra¨ , ¨Koala¨ and Lemur¨ . It's a charming , moving film , perfectly acted and concerning the narration about the relationship among friends , bride , lover , relatives and friends . On the surface , ¨Pagafantas¨ doesn't get much wrong , it looks okay , the comedy misunderstandings pile up in a reasonably amusing fashion and the performance is acceptable .
