Dad Wanted

IT'S A GOOD family drama ,forget about the 1 star people commenting silly things,definitely worth watching ,the young girl was amazing and the other actors as well. Director did a good job in portraying a young girl dream and a lost father emotions well.

But i think this was a bit too serious to raise the comedy red flag warning. its a mexican netflix founded film about a bmx'ed girl, that isnt allowed to ride the bike by her mum, cause her dad got killed when biking after a quarell. so when a prize winning biking contest come to the girls knowledge, shes turning hot and turns the world upside down to attend, but she cant get her mums written agreement for the race, so she and a friend hunts the mexican ground in search for a father-figure that can sign on the admission ticket...easy piecy story and plot, but the mexicans really makes a fuzz outof nothing and this films is the result.

production is a flashing try to make a familyfriendly disney take on the issue. in fact they do hit the target but just a bit. its meant to be comedy, and i shall admit that my grumpy old mouth wrenched into a smile here and there, but the spirits a merely too sad allthrough this flick so therefore not a comedy in my mind. its also cathegorized as family, well its is indeed, but with a very serious case of sad vibes, of loss of loved ones, lack of love from the close ones,and a child loneliness in a workoholic sosiety and a work to fade away the sad feelings of loss-mum that is very absent to her daughter.the plotintermissions are neatly done, but the parts where a film is made within a film might be to stressfull for the young familymembers to cope with.

its a very music driven film, good a varied music its also, so the score line up are cleverly chosen and done. its like clutching the straw to save the world from the armageddonish feeling, its decently done.

actors... well its the finest looking and most fashionable choice of mexican casting that dominates the movie. the children in the film are good stuff, the adult acts re more shaky and not so convincing. the dialouges though rattles like a machinegun clip at automatic setting, how they can manage to say so many sounds in a short time icant imagine. i may be excused,cause the cold climate of norway you do have to shut your mouth to keep warm...

well do not shade away from this movie, the charming elements are to heavy for that,and the lonely childs scream for attention to valuable to forget, so its a recommend from the ever and ever grumpy old man.

It has an unoriginal and predictable plot, but it can distract you for a while.

A Mexican family movie. It is about a girl who wants to enter a cycling competition but how her mother does not let her decide to do a casting to find a father who will help her with permission without them knowing. Paid for with the fiscal stimulus, this film would hit theaters and Netflix took it for its catalog. The film does not have the necessary cohesion, it is arrhythmic and loose. The ending doesn't make any sense and is out of the context of the film, plus it's very forced. They try to talk vaguely of letting go of fears and taking risks in life but they can't. Some performances are good and others do not reach what is required. Predictable like all of its kind. Exaggerated and ridiculous dramatic moments like a Mexican soap opera. Risky because it is not your typical romantic comedy. Avoidable if you are not a fan of Mexican movies.

I was satisfied with this movie. i was just scrolling around on netflix, trying to find something to watch, and came upon this film. it was a good movie and was not disappointed.
