Dad Wanted

This was cheesy, reminded me of a Disney channel movie.

I think I have great taste in films, I'm a movie snob and I really loved this movie. It has a beautiful storyline and it was wonderfully executed. Each actor played their part well and I really felt their pain. I wish the ratings were higher so that more would watch it.

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.

By hiring second rate translators and third rate voice actors. I can see how this could have been a passable movie in it's original language, especially for it's target audience (guessing middle-school age, since that's the two main characters). But when you translate it badly (some of the phrasing is so awful it's funnier than the plot!), then get even worse actors to do the voice over (one or two were actually good, but not enough to overcome the rest), it takes all possibility of enjoyment from the movie.

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.
