La familia perfecta

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.

This is a fun Spanish comedy.

Too bad the cute son/fiance can't control his face and he over acts with it - like a spoiled 9 year old.

The ending is a kicker and, frankly, worth the watch. We can all take a lesson or two from it.

Enjoy!

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.

One of the possibly newest in Netflix was pushed to my TV screen and sounded quite interesting as title I was expecting a rom com movie.

Indeed the story started as a typical rom com but after the half the things changed> while the first part was referred to the proceedings for making the wedding of the groom and bride the second half is focused to the grooms mothers life after she was divorced from her husband for one reason : she had a nice chemistry with the in law !

The story then unfolds on how she restarted her life making her dreams once again realizable . I stop here referring more movie details.

The other part of the story is the difference between rich and poor. She and her husband are from the rich category. They are quite phlegmatic . In contrast the other family are lousy people : wife is very open minded and funny , her husband is less but still a fun man and ther children very lively in contrast to the other family. Totally different cast , the only that makes the pair join is the love and understand the differences . This made the groom family in the start being very negative but resisting very polite this marriage

The other side of the story raised from the grooms mother as we listen is more deep: 'All my life was a disaster to me: For more than 50 years I was a perfect wife I did the prefect wedding and made a perfect family but . Noting did to my life so far ' This was the reason she lived then alone The solution can be found in the story . Enjoy yourself!
