Review of El favor

El favor (2004)
10/10
A simple but effective very well acted comedy.
23 March 2005
It is a simple film and without many pretensions. But, just with the superb performance of Javier Lombardo as "Felipe" makes of this small film a great comedy. Felipe, an engineer agronomist specialized in the artificial insemination of turkeys, visits his sister Roberta (Victoria Onetto), who lives with his friend Mora (Bernarda Pagés). At the beginning, Mora seems to be very interested in Felipe, who waits for the visit of his fiancée, which knew through Internet, and saws just one time. It has, in addition, more visits, than indeed complement the development of the plot. Everything seems to go on wheels, until, unexpectedly, both girls ask a favor to Felipe, who seems not to be agreed to satisfy. The complications increase and again Javier Lombardo appears like a great figure in a perfect performance without which, the film could not have filmed. Nice to see, funny from the beginning to the end.
