Perfekt ist anders

About love and wornout relationships due to many years marriage, symptoms that the grumpy old man reckognize and have been and do still fight against, due to lots of reasos, but in sickness and health we shall endure to death or whatever they say in the wows on your wedding day, a day that the grumpy old man was so nervous that day my mind has completely cut away from my memorandum, but that was a blustery day yes, and my niece were babbling just behind us in the church irritatingly repeating ''no,no,no,no...'' so i ended up shakingly saying yes, at the same time wishing to flap the flabber outta thet nosy creature crawling behind my back...

its a at moments a honest and laughworthy comedy with loads of twists and shocking thrills, but also some plotholes here and there with a nonbalanced timeline, but the castensemble delivers from good to great, and if you like spanish neomodern comedy done in a linguistically beautiful way, without too much rattattatta-ta dialouges uzi style i give this a seven from my heart.

A bit long playtime but the opposites are fascinating, so go for it if you've got time.

When the film begins, it seems that it is a comedy about a mother trying to ruin her son's relationship because she didn't like his girlfriend.

The son of a wealthy family falls in love with a girl that lives in a not so good neighborhood. When the son asks his parents to meet his girlfriend and her famiy, the parents realize that the girl isn't what they wish for their beloved son.

But.... the movie is so much more (!!!) than a mother-in-law fighting daughter-in-law parody.

Actually, the movie is not at all about the relationship of the son, rather than the discovery of the inner feelings of the people surrounding the couple, especially the mother.

It is a touching and emotional comedy with funny moments. Definitely worth watching.

Movie builds on a time tested idea of two worlds colliding, where people from different backgrounds start to date and their respective families are very different. It was done with race, religion, culture and of course class.

So here we have a man from a well-off family dating a woman from working class. Prim and proper vs rough around the edges and no filter.

Entire thing is mostly predictable in the first half, but then movie takes a turn and moves away from goofy comedy into more "finding yourself" territory as parents start to interact and their outlooks start to rub on each other.

Some people would see that as false advertising and not what they wanted, but I think it's kind of neat as jokes based on initial premise start to wear a bit thin.

Good enough movie to kill an evening and then quickly forget about.

Sweet production. Good actors. Many good ideas. But 1 hour 45 minutes is a bit too short for all the interesting storylines and all these good actors. I really would have watched like 12 episodes of this.

The beginning was promising. It seemed the classical clash of classes with comical situations. Then the movie becomes a complete nonsense with many plotholes. The character Lucía evolves from comical to completely illogical.

In the end, it is more a movie about the evolution of the character of Lucía. The writers tried to disguise the movie as a comedy. However, the result is bad as comedy and bad as a movie about the evolution of Lucía.

My rate is 2, not 1 just because of the acting of José Coronado.
