Queens on the Run

I laughed so much from the beginning to the end, all the actors were awesome I tell you I laugh so much it's a must see. I don't want to spoil the movie but you have to watch it. It is hilarious.. awesome job everybody! I had to put it in pause so I can finish laughing and continue watching.

A very good storytelling that it makes you think it can happen. It can be from a real story. The actresses they're so funny. And the chicken. Oh my gosh you have to watch it. It's hilarious.

It hurt me to see what happened to the convertible car because that's a really nice looking car. The kids actors. They did a great job too. So kudos to everybody.

Actually more like theirs - but I wanted to make sure it is clear it is female driven (which I reckon one could call the second pun I make already - no pun intended for either of them of course). The movie is weird - and funny at times. Some jokes land, some others ... could have been better. Overall the movie itself seems unsure what it is - there does not seem to be a clear through line or whatever you would call it.

So you get different vibes from this. The actors are fine overall - and there is some mayhem towards the end that I really loved (it went beyond anything I would think it would do) ... it is female empowerment and it may just be exactly right for you. I am not going to tell anyone they are wrong in loving this - same is true for those who were not able to find much to like in this ... I wanted to like this more and it is endearing in some respect to ... so there is that.

Stumbling upon the 2023 Mexican comedy "Fuga de Reinas" (aka "Queens on the Run") while perusing the available movies on Netflix, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie, based on the synopsis. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, however.

Writer Martha Higareda put together an enjoyable enough script for director Jorge Macaya to bring the screen. "Fuga de Reinas" is a road-trip movie with a bit more to it, and there were a fair amount of funny moments throughout the 96 minutes that the movie ran for, and the character gallery was definitely interesting, and those helped to set "Fuga de Reinas" aside from numerous other road-trip movies.

The acting performances in the movie were good. And given my very limited exposure to Mexican cinema, I have to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list. But it should be noted that the performances on the screen were good, and they definitely had some good talents on the cast list.

"Fuga de Reinas" is a light-hearted comedy, one that unfortunately came and went without leaving much of a lasting impression on me. Director Jorge Macaya's 2023 movie is good for a single viewing, but there simply isn't enough contents to the script to support more than a single viewing.

My rating of "Fuga de Reinas" lands on a five out of ten stars.

This film will be on lists of worst Mexican movies of 2023. It seems like they try to force women's empowerment into a cheesy comedy. The film focuses solely on female lead characters while making all male characters non important. The comedy is juvenile with the typical fart jokes, repetition, and absurd storylines like adding a random rooster. It's disappointing to see Martha Higareda as lead writer of the film. Having followed her podcast I thought she would show more creativity. Instead it seams like Netflix is just filling a quota for Mexican content while they poke fun of serious problems like kidnappings, the drug trade, corruption and poverty.

I didn't want to juge this movie from its beginning, but it just got worse... the movie was way to much and did not have a context that would hook watchers to watch the rest of the movie. This movie doesn't have one still plot line that would carry on to the very end, more so a meaningless event that happed so the main characters can come together to have problems that just don't make any sense throughout the movie the main characters just got thrown a of string problems that some effected them some more then the other but the main problem of this movie was that how bad the problems are and how they just didn't have any sense.
