Get Married If You Can (2014) User Reviews

Cliche, but fun, and good values

[amybrannon-87017 · 7/10 · 30 May 2018]

This movie is 100% cliche, over-done plot lines and characters. I was surprised that people with the means to make a movie would bother with such simplistic, stereotyped content. AND YET, it somehow managed to cheer me up. In fact, I saw the movie two years ago, and now I'm trying to track it down again, looking for a fun movie for a pre-teen Spanish girl. I remembered two themes from the movie: 1) A young woman chooses between a shallow-glamorous marriage and her chosen career in science. 2) A young couple finds romance together after years of respecting the boundaries of friendship. Both of these are great themes for younger girls. And the simplicity of the plot and characters allows that age group to contemplate life without confusion and drama. I actually can't remember if the entire movie is age-appropriate for adolescents. But if it is, I'd say it's better that many of the Disney movies, with their steep sexual innuendos.

Love returns do

[jonahjaimes · 7/10 · 29 March 2015]

Film with a rating 5.8 on IMDb but I really must admit that I really really liked the performances and the story, unfortunately, i miss you more complexity to the characters, were simple and predictable, even so it is an amazing film full of emotions, is discover how love comes to turn things again as it has always done, perhaps as much used phrase "Love returns do" maybe it was much copied to other films that left to be desired. All film entertains you never bores you, have a sense of humor and atmosphere of empathy in the characters. It was an excellent excuse to use Mexican territory of Quintana Roo for a great love story, it is worth noting that it is the first indent made for film Martha Higareda, not bad for a Mexican actress who has flirted with Hollywood and wants exceeded itself . For me I give it a 7 to this film. I really like movies with many emotions and not get bored.

a complete disgrace

being a Mexican citizen, lover of Mexican cinematic culture, this movie stayed back in the ancient times. When I saw it I just couldn't believe how would the uprising of Mexican culture could have that kind of gap. its like having a flashback to our non existent talent on the film culture and learning not even the basics, but the 101 training.

denigrating to our culture, just disappointing in ever aspect starting from the script to the stereotyped-million times seen movie where the cute guy ends up with the stupid modern girl nothing makes sense and in every frame we can see the absurdity of a script made in 5 minutes that transmits nothing but absolute nonsense

Crappy script, horrible acting.

Horrible film, it's lame I feel ashamed of Mexican film industry. I could not keep watching it for more than 15 minutes. Has a lousy script, hollow, zero creativity, no wit whatsoever. Dismal performances and direction, could not believe it that nowadays Mexico continues to do mostly bad movies. It seems that if Gael, Luna, or the Bichir brothers are not in the movie they just can't do something worth to watch, not even a good story. I do not understand how it is that cinema's golden age was of such quality stories and movies you can watch over and over again and remain valid over time and most movies today are so bad. Take for example the remake of "Hasta el viento tiene miedo" also with Higadera and awful as hell with a really stupid script. Crappy movie.

Great Romantic Comedy

[GomezAddams666 · 9/10 · 15 March 2015]

Martha Higareda plays Ana Paula, a girl whose dream is to get married and have the perfect wedding until her not-so-perfect fiancée cheated on her with her cousin. Miriam Higareda plays Daniela, a care-free girl that has been in love of her best friend all her life but she has never had the courage to tell him so. Ana Paula gets drunk and by accident she finds herself in the middle of the jungle, where she meets Erik, a young volunteer who shows her a different way of seeing life, and Daniela ends up staying a few days with her best friend's family for his dad's birthday, and she is decided to let him know how she feels about him.

The movie can be described as the typical romantic comedy, but what makes it different and better is that the characters are realistic, and well performed, you can identify and root for these girls as they find the courage to get out of their comfort zones and be brave and roll the dice.

Mexican Cinema more often than not does not get its due, but there are great talents that can put a very enjoyable romantic comedy, that is very entertaining and very funny.

Absolutely horrible

[DhariaLezin · 1/10 · 22 June 2015]

I have not seen worse acting in a Mexican movie in a long, long time, and believe me, it can be quite bad already. I think it was supposed to be farcical but this is not achieved either. The jokes are so bad that they use musical notes to point out that it is supposed to be funny (so you know), with desperate intents to make the audience laugh without making it. Actually yes, there was one time when I laughed. One of the girls breaks in a wedding, and someone tells to the bride "calm down" when the actress that plays the bride is actually quite relaxed and laughing (although she was supposed to be crying since someone was ruining her wedding). As much as everyone is telling her to calm down, she is checking everything but her wedding getting ruined. So, in other words, I laughed at the terrible acting... but not at one single joke. The argument sucks (sad but true), and (again) although it is supposed to be a comedy it is so stupid and surreal that you even get mad of the idea of someone thinking you are stupid enough to laugh about something like that. The main character (a bride to be) gets her heart broken just when she is trying her wedding dress in the store and for some stupid reason instead of cutting it to pieces, giving it back to the store, or anything, decides to wear it back home, because on the next scene, she is crying with her sister I think, at home, obviously, still wearing the darn dress, and then driving... and on and on... No budget to make her wear anything else? Even lingerie? It is not worth whatsoever. The characters (as usual in Mexican cinema) are more than stupid, and instead of feeling sympathy or empathy for them, or enjoying watching the film, you actually feel disgusted. With terribly exaggerated gestures, moves and everything. To make the story sadder, as far as I understood, this movie was one of the most viewed when it was in theaters in Mexico in 2014.

Love love looooove cliche!!

[lucrecia-07660 · 10/10 · 14 April 2024]

I loved this film so much I have seen it at least 4 times! It's a good feeling movie! I don't understand the bad reviews taking things too seriously! The fact is with too much reality around, is nice to get lost in an innocent silly romantic funny cute love story ! That will make you laugh for sure ! If you have a lighthearted attitude of course !

I love Martha's energy! In real life she is so upbeat and radiates positive energy, which comes through in her films ! My favorite part in the movie is when she is crying in the middle of the jungle because she is hungry and wants roasted chicken!! And asks for a Tucan as an alternative!! Lol.

Very disappointing but still somewhat entertaining

[lidieth007 · 4/10 · 6 November 2014]

I've been watching a couple Mexican movies lately and I happen to stumble upon the trailer of Cásese Quien Pueda on youtube and became interested in watching it even though the trailer gave away some of the cheesy acting in the film but I decided to give it a try since I recognized some of the actors in the film and seemed like it would be entertaining.

However, it was very disappointing, I have to agree with the other two reviews here. I was very hard to watch because there was a lot of bad acting and overreacting, specially from the main character Ana (Martha Higareda) but all characters overall were cheesy and unbelievable. The only character that was believable in the entire film probably was Erik as portrayed by the Argentinean actor Michel Brown. The overall script needed a lot of improvement, it rather seemed like they started with a good idea but couldn't craft the script quite yet, it lacks unity but more importantly versatility. There are some very unbelievable moments that are incoherent and seem like the filmmakers threw them in there because they didn't know how to continue the film, or they didn't have a better way to put it in context.

However, like I said, it still managed to entertain me a little bit and made me smile from time to time, but the overall quality of the storytelling is quite disappointing. But the number one thing that really hurts it is the bad acting and the bad script. But if you can get over the fact of the exaggerated/theater-like acting then you should find it at least somewhat entertaining.

These actors need to understand that acting for film is not the same as acting for telenovelas.

Shameful

[alessacarri · 1/10 · 22 July 2018]

Everything about this movie is ridiculous, cheesy, fake, exaggerated and cringeworthy. It is really shameful that people gave money for this movie to be make. And the scenes that portray Yucatán... ugh I can't even as a native...
