La tribu

I enjoyed the movie a lot, some parts were laughed out loud.

It has an entertaining story from start to finish, great music, and great dance scenes.

The story is as outlandish as it gets, yet , because it's in the hands of the smart and legendary Spanish director Fernando Colomo, and a couple of incredible actors (Paco León+ Carmen Machi) the result is a very fun ride, with heart, that will tickle you and get your laughs for 90 minutes. And yes, it gets too sweet at the end, but the whole thing is not spoiled by that. Definitely a movie that keeps that Spanish comedic flavor so distinguishable in other renown directors like Luis Garcia Berlanga or Pedro Almodovar. You'll be left with a smile on your face after experiencing this.

Music can help. Dancing can help too. Actually the latter almost always only works with the former. And if you have a character that is despicable, can he be cured too? The movie seems to have an answer for that. The movie begins with quite a crazy scene. Nothing explicit is shown, but our main character is obviously having an affair and we learn he is not a good man overall.

Which brings us to the journey he is about to have. Not before being completely humiliated (at least once). But when someone is down you can decide if you want to help or beat him. The former seems more Christian doesn't it? If this quite paper thin "excuse" for a story is enough for you, the movie is entertaining in itself. You do get good music and if you are into it, you also get a lot of dancing. It actually may get you to go dance too ...

The script on this great film needed more work and some pruning. The opening sequence was not only unheard of but wanted scrapped. It ruined this film, take this out and scrap the waiter pouring a drink over a customers head and remove the phony bus accident and you then have a great - great film with wonderful performances. The story line was confusing, contrived and weak. It should have been an once adopted at birth guy down on his luck, who decides to find and meet his unmarried birth-parents who run a supermarket, he joins them in their modest store is a genius at retailing and turns it into a business empire (another Walmart) aided by the star of the film Mirabel Del Paco (the incredible beautiful actress) whose after hours hobby is dancing and runnng a dance group. All this crazy talk about loss of memory, a man in hiding because he fired 300-workers and can dance also wanted scrapping along with the 2 lazy brothers (don't ask), whats left was the basis of a Miracle on 42nd Street with music and dancing. 10 out of 10 to the cast, producers, cameramen and prop-men, this film script needs to be remade and made into a Xmas release film, and have some children in it. I do like this film, and enjoyed it. Tahnk you.
