La familia perfecta

Basically it's an easy comedy, not pretentious, nothing new in the horizon.

The film is supported on typical characters, do we really behave like clowns in real life? Honestly, life could be hard enough to face it every time like a raw storm of conflicts, but is this the best way to explore the plot that they offer?

I respect the acting work and the massive effort that represents filming. Please, pay better to the writers and get better scripts.

Everything is justified, that's for sure. Each character evolves due to a renewed life. What I dislike is the clowny stuff.

Yes, Lucia gets better. Yes, Ernesto gets what he deserves. Bravo, Amparo! More women empowered like you. Kill Miguel, please. Sara and Pablo, I cannot believe your love story.

Anyway, if you like popcorn, bring your bucket.

Which some may call ... not perfect actually. Having said that, there is a lot of comedy and a lot of actors I have seen in other stuff. So this spanish movie really got a few things going for itself. It has some high points when it comes to dialog and it has an almost ridiculous family dinner scene towards the end - but it all is told and edited in a neat and good way.

The movie, like the relationships of those involved, is anything but perfect. But that is not a bad thing and not something to be too mad about. This is decent family entertainment with a few high points and a lot of drama. Almost as much as there is comedy actually - sometimes the mixture of both is not the best it could be ...

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.

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.

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.
