A dysfunctional family travels to Cuernavaca to celebrate the grandmother's birthday, and all hell breaks loose when the father shows up with his new wife.

Konexión (MX)

It's a victim of clichs, and it uses them in situations that affect the credibility of the story. Despite this, the movie accomplishes what it's supposed to do: Entertain and make you laugh. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 6.5/10

It resumes into a bunch of sketches coming and going to deliver puns and continue rolling gags. [Full review in Spanish]

Time Out México

For its lightness and lack of originality, this film has more in common with any soap opera than with a well made comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/5

Uma ótima comédia mexicana com direito a dramalhão e tudo, como toda boa "novela" mexicana, relações familiares conturbadas, traições, gravidez surpresa, fracassos e sucessos, amor e ódio, brigas e confraternizações, como toda boa família, nos sentimos parte, assemelha-se a nossa família, com toque de exagero, muita diversão e emoção intensa... Assistindo à trilogia fora de ordem, bora para a última...

Una película nada memorable; tiene una trama genérica, aburrida y poco entretenida.

2.5 al parecer no sabemos hacer cine sin poner todos los clichés habidos y por haber. Tiene un buen elenco y sus momentos pero si cae en lo telenovelezco.

Despite a solid cast, El cumple de la abuela it's a formulaic family comedy that feels too long despite some good moments.

It's not only an low budget film, it's also a film plagued of clichÃ© and wasted jokes that builds an hollow story with nothing to offer than a poor quality entertainment.
