Mala influencia

Mala Pelicula would have been a more appropriate name for this film. Look, I went into Mala Influencia expecting scandal, suspense, maybe a dramatic betrayal or two-and what I got was an over-filtered fever dream that thinks it's smarter than it is. If you've ever wondered what would happen if a Lifetime movie and an Instagram influencer's highlight reel had a baby, this is it.

The leads do their best, but they're let down by dialogue that sounds like it was pulled from a TikTok argument and plot twists that can be spotted from a mile away. The pacing drags in the middle and rushes the ending, leaving key motivations murky and unresolved.

I really don't know how to express how ridiculous this movie was. There are so many good films coming out of Spain and this unfortunately was not one of them.

And I feel that the actors are going to get the brunt of this negativity but it really starts with the writing.

I don't know why anyone thought the plot was going to be spectacular. But then it just really went downhill as the movie went on.

Especially towards the end when the story kind of finally unfolds it seemed very forced and quick.

I don't find the love interests believable and I feel like all the characters had lots of drama.

I mean if you got some time to kill and you're just curious then see it but don't go around changing any plans just to see it.

It started fine but as the film goes on, it made me more and more annoyed. The plot is a disaster, and this "bad influence" guy is the only interesting character in the whole film. The rest of the characters are very weak and leave no great impression. I'm pretty sure, I won't remember in a few day any of the details. It's been a long time since I watched something so bad.

I still can't understand that if she's bullied and threatened, instead of calling the police or hiring a private detective, the father hires just this random "bad" guy. I'm half way through but had to stop watching. It was too annoying to continue.

Mala Influencia: Yes.

I'm speechless. How can something like this ever made it to Netflix?

Rich Girl, Bad Boy, a parent that's against everything, a plot that isn't even worth the name plot, weird dialogues and choices made by (shallow) characters that don't make any sense, 2000 scenes weirdly cut together so you get every cliché out of every 'romance' story that ever existed...

I'm not sure who got paid for putting that on Netflix, but yeah, here it is.

I really feel deeply sorry for the actors (and the guys behind the cameras) who at least tried to make it a story that you want to watch. But no chance with that kind of writing...

Thank God I fell asleep for the last 20 minutes, at least something positive.

Bad Influence isn't predictable - it's just bad. The script lacks coherence, the acting is weak, and the ending is so ridiculous it's cringe-worthy. It creates no tension, doesn't hook you, and leaves you with nothing. A complete waste of time.
