O Outro Pai

If you want to watch a good movie you could definitely find something better. I watched it merely as an exercise to "practice" Spanish. The movie is visually pleasing, has a great cast and the story is rather 'meh' but easy to follow and interesting enough to watch if you're learning Spanish. If you're looking for something else, like, to have a laugh, to be moved or to actually fell any emotion at all - give it a pass.

The only good thing about it is its length: only 78 minutes. Still, if you're thinking about watching this, spare yourself the time knowing that whatever else you do, you're better off.

The storyline is imbecile, the dialogues and scenes feel like they had been dreamt up by the creators when they were still in grade seven. It is a disgrace to Spanish cinematography. The creators ought never to have been allowed to be in a position to make this movie. Humankind have wasted the scarce resources of our planet.

I wished to have written a much briefer review - one that is two sentences short (the first two) , but had to meet minimum length requirements! This film certainly does not warrant a 600-character review!

Cute story with 4 great actresses. Well, 6, counting Rosy de Palma and Marisa Paredes.

I expected to see a nice comedy. Instead what I saw was a boring and not funny film. Except the wonderful Rossy de Palma whom I admire, not a single actor had a good or interesting role. The sisters are terrible, egoistic, stupid and useless. Their mother seemed a terrible woman as well, it's unclear why their father stayed with her at all. The men in this film are losers without any spine in general. The storyline is boring- sort of quest for finding the fathers, while nothing interesting comes out of this - no new character or storyline development. It's good the film was short - 1h20mins. Not recommended.

With such a cast and the storyline I heard about, I expected this to be fun. As I watched the film I kept thinking, is this all there is? It wasn't going anywhere. Well, at least there's the beautiful Blanca Suarez, who has a nice looking boyfriend. That didn't matter since he didn't know how to kiss. There were a few things that were cute, however the film was a big disappointment.
