Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 02/26/2015
2.5/5
A la Mala coasts on its style and charm, and that may be enough for this kind of romp... Nevertheless, a bit more originality in the script by Issa Lpez and Ari Rosen would be a welcome diversion. Go to Full Review
Alejandro Alemán El Universal 12/31/2015
The thing is that this is not really a movie, it's just one of the biggest adds in movie history. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

"A la Mala" falls on the same superficiality that it tries to make fun of. Go to Full Review
Mabel Salinas Cine Premiere 03/11/2015
3.5/5
The Mexican Rom/com "A La Mala" is predictable but is also a good time at the movies. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media 03/06/2015
3/5

05/30/2021 Awful, it makes me sleep, bad story, all it is superficial, it is sad that this kind of movies represent Mexico. See more 11/05/2016 A great rom-com with a very interesting leading couple. Their dynamic was great fun to watch and the supporting characters were hilarious! See more 05/05/2016 Predecible, predecible... predecible. No esperaba mas. See more 03/18/2016 Una película mexicana que da lo que tiene que dar, en cuanto a la historia creo que tiene una buena trama, pero de lo que sufren todas las películas mexicana es la realización, audio, libreto. En ocaciones intenta ser graciosa sin lograrlo.Palomera See more 10/31/2015 Romántica, divertida See more 09/22/2015 Había empezado interesante... y se puso tan cursie después :( See more Read all reviews
