La familia perfecta

Which some may call ... not perfect actually. Having said that, there is a lot of comedy and a lot of actors I have seen in other stuff. So this spanish movie really got a few things going for itself. It has some high points when it comes to dialog and it has an almost ridiculous family dinner scene towards the end - but it all is told and edited in a neat and good way.

The movie, like the relationships of those involved, is anything but perfect. But that is not a bad thing and not something to be too mad about. This is decent family entertainment with a few high points and a lot of drama. Almost as much as there is comedy actually - sometimes the mixture of both is not the best it could be ...

Movie builds on a time tested idea of two worlds colliding, where people from different backgrounds start to date and their respective families are very different. It was done with race, religion, culture and of course class.

So here we have a man from a well-off family dating a woman from working class. Prim and proper vs rough around the edges and no filter.

Entire thing is mostly predictable in the first half, but then movie takes a turn and moves away from goofy comedy into more "finding yourself" territory as parents start to interact and their outlooks start to rub on each other.

Some people would see that as false advertising and not what they wanted, but I think it's kind of neat as jokes based on initial premise start to wear a bit thin.

Good enough movie to kill an evening and then quickly forget about.

About love and wornout relationships due to many years marriage, symptoms that the grumpy old man reckognize and have been and do still fight against, due to lots of reasos, but in sickness and health we shall endure to death or whatever they say in the wows on your wedding day, a day that the grumpy old man was so nervous that day my mind has completely cut away from my memorandum, but that was a blustery day yes, and my niece were babbling just behind us in the church irritatingly repeating ''no,no,no,no...'' so i ended up shakingly saying yes, at the same time wishing to flap the flabber outta thet nosy creature crawling behind my back...

its a at moments a honest and laughworthy comedy with loads of twists and shocking thrills, but also some plotholes here and there with a nonbalanced timeline, but the castensemble delivers from good to great, and if you like spanish neomodern comedy done in a linguistically beautiful way, without too much rattattatta-ta dialouges uzi style i give this a seven from my heart.

A bit long playtime but the opposites are fascinating, so go for it if you've got time.

This is a fun Spanish comedy.

Too bad the cute son/fiance can't control his face and he over acts with it - like a spoiled 9 year old.

The ending is a kicker and, frankly, worth the watch. We can all take a lesson or two from it.

Enjoy!

Basically it's an easy comedy, not pretentious, nothing new in the horizon.

The film is supported on typical characters, do we really behave like clowns in real life? Honestly, life could be hard enough to face it every time like a raw storm of conflicts, but is this the best way to explore the plot that they offer?

I respect the acting work and the massive effort that represents filming. Please, pay better to the writers and get better scripts.

Everything is justified, that's for sure. Each character evolves due to a renewed life. What I dislike is the clowny stuff.

Yes, Lucia gets better. Yes, Ernesto gets what he deserves. Bravo, Amparo! More women empowered like you. Kill Miguel, please. Sara and Pablo, I cannot believe your love story.

Anyway, if you like popcorn, bring your bucket.
