How to Be a Latin Lover

This is the first time I'm writing a review. Because of the bad reviews, it sparked me to defend it. I recently watched this on Netflix. Honestly, most of the films found on Netflix aren't all that great. I usually do agree with scores found on IMDB, but with this film I believe it deserves a higher score. I enjoyed the comedy and found it to be real fun. I shared it with my boyfriend (who is more into action films). Even he was laughing like crazy and also agrees with me. This film deserves a higher score. I can be critical of what I watch, but to be fair, I would give this film a 7.3.

You really get what you work for.And to be honest the characters in this movie worked hard through a great acting.The setting of the movie was great.And credit also goes to the dialogue.It was simple and easily understandable.The negative thing was it predictable screenplay.But in all it was a nice movie.Deserving a higher ratings.

Most comedies that have been released this year were pretty much horrendous and treat viewers like they have an IQ of -50. With that being said, How to Be a Latin Lover is a true breath of fresh air, it's been a while since a movie made me feel this good and it definitely deserves a higher rating that 5.8.

The storyline is simple, main characters charming, writing witty, the acting is top-notch especially from Eugenio Derbez, the jokes are not forced which is a rarity nowadays and there are many laugh out loud moments that are nicely spread throughout the movie so it never loses momentum and becomes dull despite being almost 2 hours long.

If you are looking for a quality charming feel-good movie don't miss this one and ignore all the bad reviews, fun is guaranteed.

10/6/17. More like 7 1/2 stars. This was such a cute movie about family and an aging Don Juan who thinks he still has it all. When he realizes he no longer can charm an older woman to marry him and financially care for him he ends up on the doorstep of his long-suffering sister, played by Hayek. it's a funny movie and fun to watch. Worth catching.

A nice bilingual comedy introducing Eugenio Derbez to American audiences starring alongside Selma Hayek and Rahpael Alejandro. Maximo is a gigolo that after twenty five years of marriage finds himself dumped for a younger man. Maximo must move in with his sister and nephew. Along the way he learns important lessons of friendship and family. Bonus points for Rob Lowe as a fellow gigolo and the scene in which he "plays" a cop complete with tear-a-way uniform. Another bit of trivia in the beginning of the film there is a younger Maximo that dives into the pool, that is Eugenio Derbez's twenty five year old son! Enjoyable rental - just be sure to watch with the captions unless you are fluent in Spanish.
