    Boring and with overacted performances

    It is a pretty boring film, the plot is certainly brainless, and it contains the "corridos tumbados" theme and some other folk mexican music, including banda sinaloense. It is a shame that us mexicans cannot produce a good film, I think years have passed since I have seen a decent Mexican film. Americans don't see, or probably they don't know they are consuming one of the many trashy films of the current century in Mexican cinematography; maybe that is the reason why they think this was a good film, or even the other bodrium called "Mexzombies". If you want to fall asleep or have a very poor taste on cinema, watch it. 2 stars because Harold Azuara appears in it LOL.

    Bright and light

    Bright colors, visually pleasing, matching music with a simple storyline that will fill you with laughs.

    This movie has a simple way of looking at family problems that are way more complicated, but yes, that is what having a double family can look like and how family relationships can be so hard to mend and keep. This is the story of two brothers that are looking in the wrong direction of what they like and who they want to be, and how much it really takes to accept family and build a relationship.

    The light hearted way this touches upon it, makes this movie a nice Sunday film to lay low and enjoy.

    Movie was fine but not a comedy

    The Movie was definitely not a comedy I feel like studios will slap that on any movie these days. The plot was fine it's no mind blowing movie but it's not terrible. But it was definitely NOT funny, although I did loose it at the actor having a back tattoo of bojack horseman idk if that was a joke or if the actor really has that tattoo but that was hilarious. I do have to say I like most of the actors they did a good job. But this was definitely a Netflix movie. Its so crazy to how unreliable netflix studios are they have a few really good movies/shows & a lot of stuff the put out is fine not good but not bad; but the majority is terrible this falls in the fine section wasn't good but it wasn't bad.

    Pick Me up

    This is an uplifting movie, those that you see when you want your brain to be refreshed. Its fun, lighthearted, positive and funny. It's a Wes Anderson meets Euphoria but with Mexican colloquialism.

    I love how all the characters are not a whitewashed/American version but an authentic outlook of how diversity in Mexico looks like. The colors in the movie are so vibrant and it really influences the scenes and the music!!! The music is amazing! Mexican regional music is so rich and you can be surprised with a variety of it.

    Now, If you speak spanish try watching it in that language its even funnier.

    If on shrooms tbh

    The movie is colorful and vibrant. It's meant to be kind of ridiculous.

    And so.... It was perfect while tripping. So I enjoyed it. I appreciated the humor and acting. How funny is it sober? Idk.

    It does have a cute plot and the ending was really sweet. It's not one of those movies to be taken too seriously. It's a fun little watch.

    The movie is about a man who has two different families: one back at home, and one at his job on a ship. The intro was hilarious while tripping. Then the two sons bond over racing and there's a little Gen z romance going on that's funny. Throw in a cool grandma, great costumes, some music, and woman who listens to relationship problems...and you got a nice watch.
