When an exceedingly stressed exec at her wit’s end hires a charming rancher to take care of her three troublemaking children, she finds herself questioning her long-held stereotypes about gender roles — and love. From Jane the Virgin and Roswell, New Mexico writer Carolina Rivera, the romantic comedy series The Manny(El Niñero) stars Sandra Echeverría, Iván Amozurrutia, and Diana Bovio.

Yes. The Manny Season 2 is streaming now.

Watch it at the top of this article.

Jimena (Echeverría), a single mom of three, is desperate to find a nanny for her hell-raising children. But so far, she’s had no luck: Every time she hires a new nanny, her prank-happy kids scare them away just as fast. It’s bad timing for Jimena, a high-powered executive under more pressure than ever — she’s in line to take over her father’s company. When Jimena opens the door to yet another potential nanny,...

The Manny Season 2 is jam-packed with a star-studded lineup of Mexican actors led by Sandra Echeverria and Iván Amozurrutia. 

Season 2 of the hit Mexican comedy series revolves around the heartbreaking aftermath of the first season which saw Jimena being promoted to the president of her father's company while Gaby stays put in his family's ranch to take care of it. 

With the pair being separated from each other, The Manny Season 2 could highlight an emotional reunion between the two will they, won't they lovers.

"The Manny" is a comedy drama set in Mexico, focusing on a single mother's struggle to balance work and parenting. The well-written character dynamics and performances keep viewers engaged throughout the 10-episode series. The cast includes familiar faces like Sandra Echeverría and Iván Amozurrutia, who bring depth and authenticity to their roles.

Netflix's The Manny is a comedy drama that features both familiar and fresh faces as its cast members. Set in Mexico, The Manny focuses on the day-to-day snags of a single mother who finds it hard to juggle her professional life with her responsibilities as a parent. Things, however, finally start looking up for her when she finds a male nanny named Gabriel. Gabriel not only makes it easier for her to handle her children but also opens the door for a new romantic endeavor.

Although the Netflix romance show follows a simple narrative in its 10-episode runtime,...

The Manny, Netflix's latest comedy series, features actor Iván Amozurrutia as Gabriel, the series' titular cowboy-turned-babysitter. 

The series, which has been climbing the streaming charts since its December 24 debut, follows the romance between Sandra Echeverría's Jimena, a high-ranking business executive and single mother of three, and Iván Amozurrutia's Gabriel, a rancher who happens to be great with kids. 

While Iván Amozurrutia may be gaining attention for his role as The Manny's cowboy caretaker, this Netflix series is far from the actor's first rodeo.

Underneath the veneer of a frivolous romantic comedy, “Las Pildoras de Mi Novio” (“My Boyfriend’s Meds”) packs a surprisingly potent message about the importance of talking about mental health issues with loved ones. Although to get to this useful kernel, the audience must first sit through some truly cringe-worthy scenes that not even Jaime Camil’s charm can smooth over.

It’s a message that goes down fairly heavy-handedly, but it’s possible that the movie could still move someone to be more open about what they’re going through. It’s also just as possible that the movie could leave viewers on a sour note from its bottom-shelf laughs and cheap gags.

Directed by Diego Kaplan, “Las Pildoras de Mi Novio” follows Jess (Sandra Echeverría), an ambitious marketing executive with a shot at a promotion if she figures out her tequila company’s new ad campaign on a staff retreat.

"I know of a shaman who works in the kitchen." Pantelion Films + Lionsgate have debuted the first official trailer for a comedy movie titled My Boyfriend's Meds, officially known as Las Pildoras de mi Novio in Spanish (which just translates to My Boyfriend's Meds). This wacky comedy is about a woman who meets the man of her dreams, then suddenly asks him to join her on a work retreat to a remote island resort. But he forgets his prescription medications and goes just a little bit crazy once they're there. Ahh, the things we put up with for love. Sandra Echeverría stars with Jaime Camil, Ana Belena, Brian Baumgartner, Kevin Holt, Daniel Tovar, Pamela Almaza, Juan Soler, James Maslow, and Brooke Shields. This film looks totally, outrageously crazy in a very fake way, and maybe just a tiny bit funny. Decide for yourself. Here's the first official trailer for Diego Kaplan's My Boyfriend's Meds,...

Jane the Virgin star Jaime Camil and Sandra Echeverria are starring in My Boyfriend’s Meds, a comedy from Lionsgate and Televisa's Pantelion Films, Fuego Films and Traziende Films.

Jason Alexander, Brooke Shields, Brian Baumgartner, Ana Belena and Kevin Holt also board the ensemble cast for the indie from director Diego Kaplan and screenwriters Gary Marks and Randi Mayem Singer. In My Boyfriend's Meds, Echeverria plays Jess, a talented, high-powered marketing executive who falls for Hank (Camil), a charming mattress store owner she meets while shopping for a new mattress.

The film is produced by Jay Weisleder and Ben Silverman, and ...

New York -- Jennifer Garner tries not to look at reviews of the outfits she wears because, inevitably, someone isn't going to like it.

"It's not good for my self-esteem," she said Wednesday while in New York to open the Neutrogena Sun Summit.

The exception was after the Oscars last month. Garner's violet-colored, custom-made Gucci gown was a winner – but that wasn't what she was looking for after husband Ben Affleck's film "Argo" won best picture. "I reveled in all those good pictures of him," she said.

Garner, a Neutrogena spokeswoman, practices what she preaches when it comes to sun safety. Her children make sure of it.

In her household, sunscreen is like seat belts: non-negotiable. Garner said while she was away Wednesday, the kids surely would remind their dad if he dropped them at school without their daily slathering.

"I think I once told my kids it was...

In the world of By Day By Night the inhabitants of a vast domed city are separated into two divisions: day people who work during daylight hours and sleep and night, and the night people who inhabit the same living quarters for sleep during the day and work the same jobs at night. It seems that space is so limited in the future, and the outside world apparently so hostile, that society has had to live this way for decades. A child is discovered by the night people, apparently comatose and with no record of where it came from. Meanwhile a day person, a woman called Aurora, desperately seeks news of her daughter who was selected for "leadership training" but cannot get a straight answer out of the leaders themselves...

A hardworking actor dedicated not only to his hordes of screaming fans but also to the quality of his work. In his new movie Free Style, Corbin throws himself into the role of Cale Bryant, a young man struggling to find his way in the world. The film is honest, not glamorized, and gets right down to the issues that many face. Cale returns to a broken home and where he quickly needs to step into the father role while trying to pursue his passion for motorcross. Through a series of incidents, Cale learns the value of family and the significance of hard work in this adventurous, fast-paced, exiting film. Like his character Cale, Corbin understands and values hard work. This project is very close to the High School Musical actor who along with his father and production company got the film up and running. When the star wasn't learning...
