AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Nonureva Really Surprised!
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
ar656 Someone I trust recommended this film to me. I was really surprised. It was really bad, and got worse with each and every minute. Basically, it is a Disney movie, only the bad American actors were replaced by bad Mexican actors.Maybe, as years pass by, I might be able to forgive the friend that enticed me to spend valuable time watching this sorry piece of wasted celluloid. Time that I will never get back.This is not just one of the worst movies I have ever seen, but the worst Mexican movie I've ever seen, without any doubt. If they have the Razzies in Guanujato, this movie would walk away with all the prices.
Brandon Marquez This film is full of emotions. Despite the fact that the plot feels "empty", it manages to center your attention on things people don't really care about anymore. It successfully adds comedy elements to what seems to be dominated by drama. Although it seems to try to hard to make you feel emotionally engaged to the film, that doesn't make it less pleasant. The acting was better than descent; so was the filming. The only flaws would be the ending, which keeps you waiting for something that never happens and how some characters start with few importance and end with a lot of importance, and vice versa. Overall, this is an excellent Mexican movie that does not involve drug cartels or criminals as protagonists (which was about time).
jaee80 This movie lets us see that learning has no age limit. The older generations learn from the younger and vice versa. Chano learned to be opened minded and to handle new technology while reminding a group of students the importance of romance and values. The main message of this movie is to not forget our values, that we should always respect one another and that the old romance ways don't age. Friendship is a strong point in this movie and we learn that it has no age limit. When Chano's younger friends see his suffering, they want to be there for him.This movie was filmed in Guanajuato and I really enjoyed watching the scenery and the culture of the town.
jorgearturo I choose to see this movie expecting to see either of two, a comedy (National Lampoon's Van Wilder) or a touch in the heart movie (Death poets society, with honors) but I found neither of those.At first it seems to be a comedy, an old man going back to school, entering the classroom he finds the students believing he is the teacher until the teacher arrives. But that's the only fun part in the movie. The other "fun" parts are boring and predictable.The seriousness of the film starts, with predictable ultra moralist scripts, and non believable performances, forced histories, not related to each other, is like seeing a Mexican soap opera. --SPOILER ALERT-- The death of the wife was so forced and stupid to the story is like trying to force the audience to cry so pathetic.The end of the film is one of the worst things. It sucks big time, but people are praising the story because is ultra moralist, and church friendly, not because is a good film, is the kind of story moms want to show their kids to "teach them" some good things.
