We might ask ourselves what we pretend of cinema. If we look for simple minded ideas burden with commonplaces, compliance with common sense and compromise, then this is your movie. Rich or poor people, fathers, mothers, brides, society: all is what you expect to be, all subjects are treated on the surface with no discomfort for the viewer. All situations are made with an effectist purpose to amaze you in a childish way, like a trick from a chip magician. If you were looking for a dark humored exploration of the Argentinian society in all his violence, desperation and the grim reality lurking in everyday social and political developments, you will be disappointed. There are a few great actors like Darín, but they are wasted in all their potential. Even the few funny situations are lonely islands in a sea of nothingness. Argentina is funnier, darker, and far more tragic than this flick, fellows.
