Ni de coña

An embarrassing comedy that contains bad taste, dirty humor, abound sexual scenes and profanity. So the uneven script is weak with very simple gross comedy. An absurd and disconcerting film in which marriages that attempt to save their relationships by going to a hotel in a tropical enclave that has group therapy sessions for couples in trouble. So four couples attend a spiritual retreat in the Caribbean to safe their relationships. They have to overcome the tests set by 2 unusual love psychologist gurus (Jordi Sánchez, Carolina Noriega), and fight for their own lives, which wasn't part of the plan, but what they find is not what they expected. Soon fault lines appear in all four relationships.

Tropical comedy without prejudice with messages about sex, marriages in trouble, and tolerance through humor. Ni de coña (2020) takes a similar premise to Todo Incluido (Couples Retreat) (2009) by Peter Billingsley in which each couple must participate in the couples' exercises at a tropical location. Directs badly Fernando Ayllón, famous in his origin Colombia, where he has made more than 17 feature films. He is now trying his luck in Spain and does so with a fairly determined formula and sponsored by a series of actors, known, above all, thanks to television. The story is set in a wonderful resort in the Caribbean, where four couples meet to undergo a kind of therapy to try to fix their relationship problems. We find ourselves from a repressed homosexual, to a hardened alcoholic, to a frustrated strong man, to a compulsively jealous woman and then you have to add their respective partners. The director uses a very particular humor, with continuous jokes and bizarre situations, which are sometimes funny, but other times even cause embarrassment to others. This is a slightly fun film with entertaining events , giggles, profanities, twists and triangular love stories. The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable, with more traps the viewer resists any kind, and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous. Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with numerous naughty and picaresque situations such as erotic jokes, suggested sex, bad taste, and adult scenes. This is a special Spanish comedy with the usual ingredients such as wild humor topped with a little bit of sex here and there and the tone of the film is light-hearted. There's a stand-up comedy background constantly appreciated, especially with interviews in the "television report." It turns out to be a lousy fun that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever; an exercise in pure amusement in which unfortunately, entertainment and quality aren't guaranteed. The characters are quite odd , grotesque and weird and the film races on at incredible speed, it improves somewhat in its final stretch, when the tangle accelerates. There are some familiar faces, especially from television such as Goyo Jiménez, J. J. Vaquero, or the couple Jordi Sánchez and Nathalie Seseña who, here, are not a couple, but they wink at their television series. It has some outlandish, crazy moments, with bizarre characters and touches of irony and satire, but overall it falls into common places, clichés, adolescent humor dialogues, spicy gags without much real fun.

The motion picture was lousily directed by Fernando Ayllon, who's a celebrity in Colombia. For seven years he was executive producer at Telemundo in the United States, where he was also creator and director of the TV show, De Paseo, which was broad casted by Telemundo (Channel 48).
