How to Be a Latin Lover

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.

This film tells the story of a professional sugar son, who has been the toy boy of a rich woman for twenty five years. One day, he is replaced by someone younger, and he has to find another wife just to survive.

Maximo is really confident and charming, so it's easy to see that he is attractive to some ladies. His misadventures during his quest for another lady are really funny. The family subplot is really good as well, as it is touching and genuine. I liked everything in this film. I really enjoyed watching it, and laughed a lot.

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.

I stumbled upon "How to Be a Latin Lover" on Netflix while perusing their comedy section. I hadn't heard about the movie before, nor had I any idea who was in it. But still, the movie caught my attention and I gave it a go.

Turned out that "How to Be a Latin Lover" was actually quite entertaining and funny to watch. Sure, you'll not be laughing throughout the entire course of the movie, but there are some good wholehearted and hardy laughs to be had and the storyline in the movie was really surprisingly good.

And it definitely helped that the movie had such a strong and talented ensemble of actors and actresses. This was my first time to get acquainted with Eugenio Derbez, but I will say that he really carried the movie phenomenally. And he had some great help from the likes of Salma Hayek, Rob Lowe and Kristen Bell. Actually, the entire movie was crammed with familiar faces and famous performers, which was surprisingly nice to see for a movie such as this. I will also say that Salma Hayek really brought a lot of charm to the movie with her talent and on-screen presence.

"How to Be a Latin Lover", while it is not a classic in the comedy genre, definitely proved to be entertaining and fun to watch. I was genuinely entertained by the movie and had some good laughs along the way. Hardly a movie I will watch a second time though, because the movie didn't have all that much to offer once you've seen it the first time.

Definitely worth watching if you enjoy a good, wholeheartedly comedy with a heartfelt story as well.

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.
