Audience Member Una película muy original y bien contada. La recomiendo. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Gran pelicula de Mercero en la que al igual que la Escopeta nacional, se parodia la sociedad y la mora de esa epoca. La pelicula no es mas que una parodia del regimen al estilo Martinez el facha, de el jueves. Para disfrutar de una tarde de cine. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
