Mi suegra me odia

I went to the theatre without much expectation, and left with a smile. The movie follows Clara, who goes to visit her in-laws for the weekend. The mother is a mess, and Clara is very neat and clean. They are the opposite of each other, and that's what generates all the humor, which I thought was very subtle and ironic. The mom is very old school, and wishes Clara to do stuff for her "baby", such as preparing his favorite food, and pampering him like she does. But Clara doesn't want to do that, and revels againt her. At one point the mom really steps over the line, when she hipnotizes Clara in an attempt to cure her OCD. Then Clara gets her revenge. I thought the message behind, is that of not trying to change who you are to be accepted. I think this is an important message given today's intolerance.

I'll watch again.

The directing? Awful. The screenwriting? Even more awful. It does not help that the principal character speaks like a mr beast dub, the main relationship is toxic as hell, and the own movie is confused as to what it is, is it comedy? Is it satire of other movies of the style?

And just don't take my word for it, several people left the screening at different points.

I generally try to look at the positive things over the bad things but seriously there was not even something good in this movie (maybe except the character of pilar and the performance by Itati Cantoral)

I was physically aching by the end.

Watch at your own risk.

I liked this film. It is a dark comedy. Went with my mother-in-law and had an amazing time. 100% recommend. The movie's main character battles with OCD and she leads a really normal life until she meets her boyfriend's crazy family. I loved it.

I have OCD and I really enjoyed how they chose to portray the character, because she was not the butt of the joke, but a person with a life, a boyfriend and a good job. I think it's important that movies portray characters that lead good lives, while dealing with mental illness.

The message in the end, is very positive, and I thought it was emotional.

100% recommend.

I just watched this movie in the theatre, and I thought it was one of the most original I've seen in a while. The main character has OCD, and the movie deals with how people are prejudiced against mental illnesses. The mother-in-law wants to help the main character by giving her a bogus treatment. It was hilarious.

The ensemble was really fun to watch. It's a fantastic comedy, with a bit of the "horrors" of dealing with a mother-in-law who doesn't understand mental illnesses at first, and ends with a sweet message about accepting your family just as it is. I'm definitely watching again. Perfect for the holiday season.

This is a wonderful comedy, I had an amazing time at the theatre. Everyone was laughing hard at all the scenes. Itati Cantoral, mostly known for her role as La Maldita lisiada, was so funny as a mother-in-law villain. The movie also hints at some of the pop culture that has made her famous, such as singing "La guadalupana", and screaming ¡Maldita lisiada! Loretto Bernal is a revelation as well, she is the screenwriter as well as the main character. This movie has action sequences, songs, conjunring, even a bit of horror! I totally recommend you watch it, in theatres. You will have a laugh, guaranteed!
