For the first reviewer: I would like to say that yes, maybe in Mexico we don't have the experience of Hollywood, the best directors or writers, but I think it's a lot most important to consider before such other characteristics form the movie like the message and with that, what impact it will have on the society, and those are the best cualities from this film. Maybe I don't know a lot about acting, or movies but one thing I know is that you can not say this is a bad movie, generally talking, when in my country it is consider by many as the best Mexican movie ever made, and it was liked by many other people in America (and by saying America I am talking about the whole continent, not just United States), and other Spanish talking countries, so it doesn't matter how much you know and can review about movies, you can't go against the opinion of the mayority, unleast they are mistaken, what I think it's not the case, so I would like you to think about not saying the whole movie is bad for those detalis, instead saying it's considered a great movie by many, but it has those deficiencies. Thank you Pd: I apologize about my bad English, but as I said my First language is Spanish.

In my opinion, the worst thing a movie can do, is try to be something it isn't or try to give a message by forced and melodramatic actions, this film does all this, not only is the story corny, but it tries to reach the audinece by presenting corny and "sweet" situations but it tries to hide the fact that is doing all this just so you can "feel" something while watching it, so please let me warn you, don't be fooled by this hoax of a film, but watch the quality that Mexican cinema has brought on the last years, films like "El Infierno", "Malos Habitos", or "Desierto Adentro", look for authenticity and real emotions, not this film. ; )PD: Two stars out of ten, one for the acting lead, who does a nice job, even if the script is a letdown, and the other because the film was made in Guanajuato, a beautiful mexica city.

This is just another good example of what I consider a bad Mexican movie... It cheaply pretends to achieve a strong motivational score based on ethics and values, but it's simply Utopia and does not reflect reality at all.In a futile attempt to paint a perfect world, the movie simply goes from one twisted story to another one and yet, another more, where life suddenly and magically turns right at the influx of the "profound" philosophy literally taken from Cervantes' "Don Quixote".Sorry, but no more than another Mexican soap opera taken to the big screen...

First of all, this movie is amazing! From the trailer, I didn't really know what to expect. I was sort of expecting one of you typical 5/10 star Mexican medium budget film. Boy, was I surprised.The acting was top notch, the jokes were perfectly executed and I could really identify with various characters. The DP work was amazing and I fell in love even more with the beautiful city of Guanajuato.The only problem I had (which also prevented me from giving this movie a 10) was that this movie tried to deal with too many stories for its 90 min length. I sometimes felt like the subplots were a little bit rushed and that some scenes were missing back story or were even a little bit pointless.Aside from that, (I won't give away spoilers) but I was crying and going through the same emotions as the characters towards the end (and I sincerely almost never experience that nowadays).Final Verdict: You have gotta see this movie!
