Review by deloudelouvain

Even though the subject isn't really documentary material I have to admit I enjoyed watching Muchos Hijos, Un Mono Y Un Castillo (A Lot Of Kids, A Monkey And A Castle for the English title). It's basically reality-tv, normally a thing I don't like at all, but since the whole family just tells their story without really wanting to be in a documentary it feels genuine. And even though the past of the family is definitely right wing, it doesn't show in their language, some kids didn't even know about that past. The documentary is funny, mostly because of the hoarding problem and the search for vertebrae of one of the deceased family member, and because of the language and their opinion about daily things or more important life issues like death. It could also be a lesson on how to avoid going bankrupt after being rich suddenly. It's all lighthearted but funny to watch.
