Queens on the Run

The 10 out of 10 star ratings were just as ridiculous as the 1 out of 10 star ratings were. I don't think anyone seeing any of the previews would judge this movie to be anything but an attempt at some light-hearted comedy and to get a few gorgeous women as scantily clad as possible by the end. It mirrored most of the road trip comedy movies that you may have ever seen and took one or two situations from several of them. You should not expect it to be part of the Charlie's Angels franchise but at least they made it through "this" movie with very little unnecessarly forced PC. I've only seen a couple of movies that deserved a 10-10 rating in my lifetime and even those very few people gave them a 10-10. I watched the Spanish version with the English captions and was able to follow pretty well and if you're not expecting it to be 100% realistic, which most of these type of movies are definitely not, then you can enjoy it and won't feel bad that you wasted your time.

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.

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.

Place all your assumptions aside. If you're secure enough with your masculinity or toxic views of gender roles, sit back and enjoy the movie. Four women are journeying to a vacation spot only to make discoveries. Not everything is as it seems. Each woman brings their insecurities to the road. Who makes you the person you are, you or your other half? The movie does showcase various types of relationships. You are most likely able to relate to one or another. When you wonder what the connection to this or that character a curveball may come your way. At some level, it has similarities to Thelma and Louise without the crime spree and Brad Pitt. The movie deserves was more than 4.7 rating.

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.
