The actors aren't bad at all. Parts of the story aren't bad with a few touching moments. Outside of that it isn't a story that is even remotely close to plausible or what I see as being positive. A story of self discovery I could buy into or even experimenting. But this is a story of "I don't know, maybe I was confused or didn't meet the right woman yet or maybe just need a woman to be complete". It could have been a great movie. So I'm very let down.
Omg what a mess. This weird cinematic concoction could only be made in Europe. It's a weird twist of homophobic stereotypes, tired and exhausted, decades old story-lines, ridiculous scriptwriting, uneven acting, low budget staging and simply implausible plot. Despite all of this, I laughed way more than the film deserved and managed to hold in there until the truly appallingly predictable ending. Memo to anyone considering producing any LGBTQ+ film in the 21st. Century...if you don't have a decent script, great actors and a capable director...don't bother.
It's simply insulting and more damaging than anything to the cause of celebrating difference.
I've seen worse Gay movies but not by much.

I really enjoyed this movie. Very funny characters. I loved the location as well not to mentioned that it is dry rare to watch a film from South America that does not show the poverty and troubles of most people. A breath of fresh air for gay South American cinema.
This is a remake of the Italian film loose cannons. Loose cannon loose cannons is much funnier and much more charming to my mind.
This is a cute little movie, almost like a French Farce. It's entertaining but watch it for what it is.....just a bit of mindless entertainment. It's not a drama, or much of a message film, but does show the inter-generational divide that still exists about accepting LGBTQ people. In the long run, family support and love can overcome all!
