Funny and diverting Spanish romantic comedy with crazy events , amusement and absurd situations that follow the politically correct style . This entertaining film packs amusement , comical situations , tongue-in-cheek , surrealist comedy including conventional pitfalls and anything else . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly cool . This is another Spanish comedy romp , a bemusing story that contains lots of humor , entertainment , brief drama and involving a peculiar homosexual wedding . This is a slightly fun film with outlandish events , giggles , emotion , profanities , twists and love stories . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind , and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with some naughty and picaresque situations . This is a special Spanish comedy from the 2010s with the usual ingredients such as wild humor topped with a little bit of original touches here and there and the tone of the film is light-hearted . It's an agreeable , moving film , adequately acted and concerning the narration about the relationship among family members , fiancée , fiancés , and brides . This is a typical and contemporary Spanish comedy in which characters are quite odd , grotesque and weird and the film races on at incredible speed . The film displays all kinds of ordinary stereotypes , resulting in an agreeable comedy , with an enjoyable message about the real importance of a good but dysfunctional family .

Incredibly boring and pointless movie. Awful acting work as well.

Very cute Spanish movie. No explicit Lesbianism in this movie, just a lovely comedy. Don't believe the low rates. See this great movie and make your own judgement.

My girlfriend and I had been wanting to watch this movie for some time, since we're lesbians that love representation, so we were very excited. We ended up severely disappointed.

So many plot holes. Sub-plots that made no sense, nor contributed anything. Characters that were pointless. Drama that happened out of nowhere and was resolved just as fast, without any sort of explanation.

The only thing we liked were the lesbian grandmas, who ended up being side-characters in their own movie, which ended up focusing on selfish and messy characters. Very disappointing.

And most of the cast convincing apart from the one who played Celia, a grotesque performance, way over the top.

Also the main character, a lawyer is utterly wrong for the role and her evolution as a more caring person never believable.

That and along with the son of one of the main characters who goes through a transformative evolution at the speed of a bullet.

Too much slapstick and faux snobbery and a couple of other characters (the supposedly gay grandson marries a Muslim woman?) as filler with no purpose, much shouty bits and slapstick add up to an over the top movie which should have been a whole pile better.

The dialogue races and with subtitles it's hard to follow but overall not missing much.

I'd like more movies about old women but this would never be part of my collection. 5/10
