Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle How to Be a Latin Lover is rude, randy (particularly among the older women), and heartwarmingly cute. As one of the gigolos says, "Once you lower your expectations, the sky's the limit. Rated: 3/5 May 4, 2017 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Hollywood Reporter OK, so it will never be mistaken for vintage Pedro Almodovar or Bigas Luna, but the feel-good satire How to Be a Latin Lover nevertheless gives you less cause to be a hater than you might have expected. May 1, 2017 Full Review Claudia Puig TheWrap Derbez brings warmth and intermittent goofy humor to this too-broad and uneven comedy. The best moments are between him and co-stars Salma Hayek and young Raphael Alejandro, who both have an easy chemistry with Derbez. Apr 28, 2017 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review How to Be A Latin Lover feels like an attempt to tick every box on a demographic chart, and in the process of attempting to please everyone, it short changes so much. May 6, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens How To Be A Latin Lover is absolutely hilarious, standing firmly on its comedy legs but with a story and film as a whole elevated by the warmth and charm of Eugenio Derbez. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net It's definitely on an Adam Sandler level of humor. Rated: D+ Mar 11, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Rebecca K I found out about the movie after becoming a big fan of Acapulco. What an absolutely delightful romp. This will definitely be joining our go-to comedy movies. It was fantastic! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Null It was a heartfelt comedy. Had moments that had me laughing and there really isn't anything bad about it, but it isn't anything groundbreaking. Mostly predictable, but a fun watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Priscilla R Hilarious!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Georgan G 3 & 1/4 stars. The humor is clearly low brow, but who cares if it makes you laugh?! Enjoyed the growing relationship between sister & brother & nephew. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Jesús Miguel G This movie, in addition to being disgusting, written with paws, It's very boring, I couldn't watch it for even 10 minutes when I ended disgusted and bored Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Emilliano S Trying hard rom com even Latin people can't appreciate. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
