I am a Chespirito's fan from 1980's, and wanted to see this production with expectation. The cast is amazing, some characters are very similar to actual actors (Clotilde and Villagrán mainly).

The problem is the script and direction. In some scenes you can tell the lack of production, not carefully filming. They could do it better overall in El Chavo del 8 sketches that every fan knows very well.

Florinda Meza (Margarita/Maggie) and other "villain" characters looks a little forced, you cannot tell they were like personification.

Son, summarly this is a nice production with big flaws. Meanwhile many fans looks for more information on web.

The story revolves around a mentally troubled character with a low level of intelligence. It is not clear whether his experience in Vietnam has much or little to do with it, but suffering from insomnia one might think so.

In any case, a couple of nightmare-like images could make this issue clear. The scenes of him trying to conquer a beautiful woman are very uncomfortable to watch (maybe that's the idea) but at least to me it seemed incongruous with many of the later actions of the protagonist.

I give them credit for the images in certain scenes, for the crudeness of the environment in which the plot develops, but at least to me they seemed like simple accessories to an extremely flat story, with very slow attempts at twists that lose effect on the viewer.

In short, it is a very overrated work. Excellent performance by De Niro.
