Carlos is a business man married to a physician. They have two children. Carlos has a serious case of addiction to his cell phone (including symptoms of dependence and absitinence) and his wife is fed up. The problem gets worse; she wants a divorce. Carlos really loves his family but he is badly hooked, and to top it all, he is offered a great promotion that depends on his use of the cell phone while he is supposed to be on vacation with his family without cell phones. Carlos even tries to join a self-help group with cell phone addicts, but nothing seems to work. My wife and I think that it is a good comedy on a very real and frequent problem that we see everywhere on these days (including a very close case). Besides being funny, it is also an opportune warning for most of us.

Having enjoying Knives Out as a masterpiece of the whodunit genre, I was eagerly expecting the sequel. Well, it's here, but it looks like a whole different (worse) class of movie, despite the required murder. Both movies have a great cast and fine cinematography, but unfortunately there are also obvious differences. First of all, Benoit's character is so different! He used to be polite and self-restrained. Here he seems like a flamboyant douche. Besides, there's so much visual display, lights, smoke and mirrors but so little substance... All the production effort is not even nearly enough to balance a stupid plot with plenty of holes. Also, it's way too long. Sadly, only the Knives Out title was left. If they plan to go on with the franchise, they must do much, much better than this overacted, childish show.

In this age of apps for almost anything, why not an app to improve our marriage? The premise sounds interesting but, of course, things may not go as well as supposed to develop. When a marriage starts to decay, both partners are lured to an almost magic solution to simultaneously satisfy husband an wife and strengthen the bond between them. My wife and I really enjoyed this well paced film, with fine performances by both leading actors and a very good supporting cast. It has neither nudity nor violence and just the necessary dose of "bad" language. In our opinion it is the best Argentinian comedy of 2022. Strongly recommended for almost all audiences!
