El Santos vs la Tetona Mendoza

Gis and Trino, have been living from repeating the same jokes for over a decade now, they were fortunate enough to make a living, publicizing their work and mingling with the intelligentsia that is supported with money from the Universidad de Guadalajara (the second largest university in Mexico). As this horrendous movie shows, when left to their own devices, Gis and Trino are not much able to make a bad episode of Southpark, its unfortunate that they continue sucking money from a public institution, but hey, that's life south of the border.

This movie seems to be more a reunion of old folks and friends, all helping each other to make this project work, unsuccessfully. As its so common with these two guys, they are so full of themselves thinking that whatever occurrences that are funny to them, are obligatory funny to others, no such luck.

Is time for new creators and talent, don't waste your money.

What could I say? I grow up with "El Santos" and all his acid criticism of our own behavior, our taboos, and old stupid moral values our society have. I agree this is not a movie for special-effects-drama-lovers, is for middle age Mexicans or foreigners well embedded in a very special Mexican culture. Jis & Trino the creators of the comic strip "El Santos", were aware of all the details of this movie, they invited most of the actors who share its voice for the characters and also invited Elena Poniatowska one of the most well known writers in the country and Latinamerica who made a small appear on the film. I wrote this review because I saw a bad review of the movie ended with "This is truly an insult for Trino and "El Santos", obviously he is from Mexico but he doesn't belong to this part of the culture. Please this is a critic not a comedy. My friends and I really enjoyed this movie we laughed all the time and are more than willing to watch it over and over.
