I liked it because it gave me some insight into the lives of a percentage of Europeans (Spanish and French) and how they view Africa. It gave me a good feeling in the end. Although I thought some scenes where uncomfortable.

This is an amusing Spanish comedy film set mostly in Africa. I enjoyed the character development, the way the characters interacted with each other and mostly the way they wound each other up. Its mostly slapstick/visual humour - its not exactly brilliantly funny I suppose but its certainly quite amusing. Some of the dialogue is witty too and towards the end there's a definite poignancy - not in a forced and cheesy/cringey way but in a good way. I very much enjoyed this film and would happily recommend it to others.

Minha opinião: É a estória de 3 amigos que na sua juventude foram da Espanha a Mali na África. E agora que já são senhores e o seu amigo Enrique esta doente e quase batendo as botas, os amigos Jean e Hovik querem ve-lo antes que seja tarde. E nisso passam e levam a filha dele nesta jornada. Que a Susan, uma jovem que foi abandonado pelo pai e que vai empurrando a vida com a barriga. Eles começam a jornada em um "Lada". E no caminho passam os maiores perrengues, desde serem presos por trafico, serem roubados, carro quebra, são presos,...... E assim é o filme até chegarem em Mali, quase mortos. É uma comédia tipo, "Férias Frustradas", "Caindo na Estrada", "Férias de Trailer",.... Roteiro: Poderia ser melhor. Vale apena assistir? Só se você tiver tempo e não tiver outra opção de filme. Nota: 5

It is a movie to have a good time without complications. He doesn't leave a message, he doesn't have to think, he doesn't have sex either ... he has a bit of mindless realism.

Road trip with laughs and tears; drinking, drugs, cursing.

4L isn't the most exciting film you'll ever see, but it succeeds on its own terms.

The film feels like an Olivares film, but without the equilibrium of previous entries. [Full Review in Spanish]
