Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

heavy metal is the law Today I saw this movie again after ten years or so, and let me tell you something, it never ages.There are some films that even now continue to be relevant, and "Esperando la Carroza" is one of them. Why?, you may ask. Because despite the fact that this movie was made twenty four years ago,the core of this movie (family costumes, traditions and relationships during a difficult financial time), are pretty much the same in Argentina (as well as the country's financial situation). Even now today, we have the old decaying grandfather/grandmother who gets more annoying day by day, the drunken family member, the different economical situations between brothers and sisters in the same family, the silent hatred between the people who come form other families (the brother's wife or the sister's husband) and the list could go on and on. But what makes this movie be so great, is that it has such an unforgettable Argentinian touch. Needless to say,the story of the film could have happened in every country, but I bet it wouldn't be half as funny as this one.I highly recommend this movie for anyone who might be interested in knowing the life and issues of an Argentinian middle class family. Also, I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to have some laughs; because despite the numerous Argentinian elements in the movie, this is a comedy, and a very damn good one.

vngf This movie is an Argentinean masterpiece. There is not a single moment when I don't find myself laughing. Every single actor, including the ones in supporting roles, are beyond excellent. The movie was just re-released for its twentieth anniversary and it is a must for any collector of comedy. This is comedy at its best. The character of Mama Cora, played by Antonio Gasalla is the most convincing portrayal of an elderly woman I have ever seen. His mannerisms, gait, etc. are superb. Although this story portrays an Argentinean family dealing with the dilemma of taking care of an elderly mother, this is a story that could happen to any family in any place in the world. Enrique Pinti has a minor role as Felipe, the family drunk, that is beyond belief. I highly recommend this great film.

Gaston I've seen this movie recently and I really enjoyed it.Although it shows a problem many families deal with (having an old person in the family, and not knowing what to do with him/her), it shows it in a funny way.It tells the story about Mamá Cora (Antonio Gasalla), a woman in her eighties who apparently, it's disturbing in her bigger son's house. Her son's wife wants her out of the house, as she is driving her mad. Mamá Cora tries to help, but unfortunately, everything she does, she does it wrongly.The family goes through lots of trouble, trying to solve what to do with Mamá Cora. While all this happens, a confusion makes the family believe she dies, and that leads to the funniest scenes of the comedy, although the whole movie is hilarious.If want to rent a good comedy, I strongly recommend you to go for "Esperando la Carroza". Not to mention the outstanding performances of actors like China Zorrilla, Betiana Blum and Luis Brandoni, among others.My score 10/10. Excellent movie.

Horacito I saw this movie plenty of times. My kids remember every line. And every time I discovered myself laughing, thinking and getting inspired more and more. Some magnificent actors, an exceptional screenplay! "Esperando la carroza", that could be translated as "Waiting for the funeral" is a perfect exposure of a lot of Argentine´s shortcomings and some Argentine´s virtues. China Zorrilla is superb...
