Ratings and reviews

It has an excellent plot, hysterical humor and a shocking twist. Definitely a recommended title. Be warned however, most humor is in the play on words in the Spanish language, and based on Hispanic (mostly Mexican) culture and beliefs. So if you only read the captions, you won't experience the same amount of humor. Nevertheless, an outstanding film.

Don't listen to the reviews that say only people with Hispanic background will appreciate this movie. My husband and myself are not Hispanic and fell in love with this movie. We watched it with the subtitles on and still enjoyed it. It truly is a refreshing light hearted, but intense movie. This movie had landed in my top favorite movie list!

Just wow, just wow. It is 90% in Spanish but the story is absolutely a world wind of emotions. I don't cry, in fact crying is absolutely the worst and this made me shed a single tear. Which for me is a big deal.
