No puedo vivir sin ti

Carlos is a business man married to a physician. They have two children. Carlos has a serious case of addiction to his cell phone (including symptoms of dependence and absitinence) and his wife is fed up. The problem gets worse; she wants a divorce. Carlos really loves his family but he is badly hooked, and to top it all, he is offered a great promotion that depends on his use of the cell phone while he is supposed to be on vacation with his family without cell phones. Carlos even tries to join a self-help group with cell phone addicts, but nothing seems to work. My wife and I think that it is a good comedy on a very real and frequent problem that we see everywhere on these days (including a very close case). Besides being funny, it is also an opportune warning for most of us.

I just finished watching this (barely, as the middle portion of the film is the most cringe-inducing content I've endured in years).

Completely disappointed at how the director managed to turn such an interesting and thought-provoking premise into a film that's so inconsistent and cliche-ridden at best, and AI-generated slop at worst.

The movie has three irredeemable flaws:

• The plot mixes up two completely different concepts (smartphone addiction and lack of work-life balance). Even though they may be related, the main plot driver is the second yet all the action (and the cringe) is focused on the first.

• the lead actor has no grace, wit or guile, which being Argentinean is a major disappointment. The rest of the cast isn't much better either.

• the script is filled with clicheés and logical missteps, in classic Netflix disposable content fashion. Zero conflict or surprises, nothing interesting to look forward to.
