Isaiah S When the girl slept with her grandma and the fat man killed her and said "It's fatty time" I cheered. When Fatty grabbed the little girl without consent and almost kissed his sister I started juicing myself in the theater and making everyone even more uncomfy. It's the best film of all time, I laughed so hard when the grandma died but not for lol. I also ship Fanela we need a sequel where Fatty gets the girl and has 10 kids come out of his fat womb. Best movie ever, 2/10. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Es una muy buena película, diferente a otras películas mexicanas de la época, con un humor más amigable, y una historia bien desarrollada, me emociona que haya películas como esta y ojalá se realicen más películas así en México, me encantó. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie has been an absolute bore to watch the plot structure has many holes and is difficult to follow. The characters personalities were written horribly and thus led to a lack luster film. The camera work was poor and shows that this movie was made for foreign audiences. Overall 1 star. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Buena producción, en donde para variar los malos, me parecen como todos muy sobre actuados y creo que demerita el resto, pero supongo que son ideas de la dirección. si la recomiendo Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A festival of colors and flavors with a simple history but very entretaining Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible. Hicieron una mala versión de "Chcocolat" con todo y el descaro de fusilarse la música... Como buena película mexicana tiene sus muy notables errores de continuidad, la edición también pudo haber sido mejor. La trama no es tan mala, pero no me gustó su punto. Lo tradicional no tiene que ser mejor que lo moderno necesariamente, ambos pueden ser buenos, simplemente son diferentes. Hay por ahí algún diálogo medio absurdo. Mónica Dionne está bien aunque un poco exagerada, ella es quien se lleva la película en mi opinión. El estilismo en alimentos está muy bien logrado. Pero es una tristeza que este sea otro ejemplo de lo terrible que puede ser el cine mexicano. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
