Todas las pecas del mundo

I enjoy Mexican movies but this one is A WASTE OF TIME. :/

The movie was bad, just was kind of lazy writing of the typical movie where he falls I'm love and want to win her heart, but they do it badly, the ending suck and the only reason it has a 5 and not a lower grade is that the cinematography and orientation were very good, the only nice thing about the movie.

The movie itself is good, but the more it went on, the more I hoped the kid got neither girl! Mind you, he looked about 12 while the girls seemed at least 15 or 16. I couldn't see why either would be interested in this child to start with. As it went on to the end I really disliked him. The mother seemed like an interesting character and I wish a little more time had been spent on whatever was happening in his parents relationship. I think this is my first Mexican movie (albeit dubbed in English. Quite badly at times, particularly the young sister's voice. I might have preferred the subtitles to be honesty). Mostly i enjoyed it.

What did I just watch LOL such a mediocre ending

The film itself isn't the worst of the worst but honestly it could've been better. Especially for a netflix movie. like come on

It's hard to know what to make of this eccentric tale of youthful misadventure. It teeters on the edge of being a delight of an idiosyncratic kind but there's just something else in there...something...bitter...

The main character is pretty vivid and this child actor is very charismatic. It's like a thought experiment of someone with so much genius having the worst priorities and making decisions that are both really bad at times and also very clever.

On the surface a sports movie but of course there's really something else on a deeper level. Of course there is a gambling element as sports movies seem to almost always use this to create meaningful conflict. It doesn't really have much of an effect but maybe that is the point? That's the problem, this movie might just be a bit too subtle for its own good.

It occured to me a long time after watching that this is a subversion of that kind of sports movie. It's absurd to think that even a genius can work a rag-tag bunch of losers into the winning team or can win the girl by the means he is using hear. It's a portrait of a person who is yet to acquire the wisdom that our greatest strength is knowing our shortcomings (which I still haven't learnt).

Visually dynamic and with an agreeable sense of humor to keep you watching until the end, this is a movie that you will think about for a while after its done but can I really call it "good"?

Certainly I haven't seen anything else quite like it. A movie that was made with a lot of skill and know-how but think this is one of those times when an experiment did not yield the desired results.

A sour and fascinating experience nonetheless.
