Como Caído Del Cielo

I didn't know what to expect when I clicked to watch this video. I had seen it come up on my Netflix feed for about a week now and it wasn't till yesterday that I decided to watch it. I was so happy to have watched this movie. It was such a heartfelt film with a nice blend of comedy, drama, and romance. I liked every moment. By the end of the film I was so emotionally invested in the main character Pedro Guadalupe/Pedro Infante, that I was tearing up.

I thought this was going to be an all out comedy at first, but I was pleasantly surprised when the movie offered so much more. It has a great romance story depicting the main character trying to redeem himself and chasing the love of his once woman. He never stops and continues to find ways to impress his wife. He goes to great lengths to attain that goal. I liked how you can empathize with the main character because you notice how human he is when bombarded with temptation.

All in all, this was a great, fun, and touching movie. I would recommend it to anyone and please, be prepared to shed a few tears. I loved this movie and at the end I thought to myself how I'd love to see a sequel. But it's safe to say that this film is a standalone movie and that's okay. Great movie!

The film has its best moments when it becomes a tribute to Pedro Infante (Omar Chaparro manages to imitate Pedro's voice perfectly), and to have good comedy moments that remind us again and again of Infante's work.

However, the film also raises the idea that Pedro must be re-educated to leave machismo behind and adopt more feminist positions. And it is in this sense where the film fails, when it tries to insert the feminist message, that although it is implicitly left over and makes the good rhythm of the plot be interrupted by such scolding.

A regular tribute to Pedro Infante, sometimes funny and sometimes moralistic, however, acceptable to see as a family.

I thought everything about this movie was outstanding, but most of all the acting and the music!

The only negative I have for this movie, as I'm not fluent in Spanish, is that the scenes in which Pedro sings do not have subtitles... I got the gist of most songs, but it would have been great to know for sure what they were about.

If you like Romantic Comedies and Music, this is for you!

It feels wrong to call this a romcom, as it deals with serious subjects and manages to connect to your heart. But it *is* funny and romantic. Our hero, the great singer and womanizer, has been in limbo for decades. He returns to earth and tries to redeem himself in the life and body of another man. A man who happens to be an impersonator of -- you guessed it -- Pedro Infante. Redemption is harder than it looks, as he soon learns while trying to sort out the mess of another's life.

Fun, fast, and well-plotted, with a mixed cast of characters.

The writers took a big risk managing the image of an icon of mexican culture and were fair in what issues should've been addressed in times like this, and i've got to say... it paid off. This is a great film that matches the moves, the songs, and even the looks of Pedro Infante, but also adds to the magic with original new songs that could have been sang by Pedro himself. Bravo!
