Long ago, a quirk of fate installed Roman Maldonado (Ricardo Darín) as a lifetime member of a Buenos Aires sports club. Now he's understandably upset to learn that local business owners want to reinvent the club for new customers. As his marriage to Veronica (Silvia Kutika) deteriorates, Roman teams with pals Graciela (Mercedes Morán) and Amadeo (Eduardo Blanco) in an effort to save the club. Despite his lack of experience, Roman proves a wily preservationist in this touching ode to community.

Audience Member Mais uma genial parceria de Juan José Campanella e Ricardo Darín, nesse filme sensível e inteligentíssimo, que discute os rumos que a vida toma e o embate entre razão e emoção. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member [font=Tms Rmn][size=3]** 1/2 LUNA DE AVELLANEDA - During the recent economic crisis in [/size] [size=3]Argentina, the middle class was hit hard. This film shows the impact on a small town [/size][size=3]of the possible closing of the area's social club. An interesting slice of life from [/size][size=3]another culture, but goes on way too long. Try it if it sounds interesting.[/size] [/font] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie, great director JJ Campanella, very emotive and funny. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny and very touching!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Another good Darin movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Campanella comenzaba a perfilarse a pie firme en su camino al oscar que más tarde llegaría con la memorable El Secreto de sus Ojos. En ésta, logra, con una historia más sencilla, generar la misma calidad en sus personajes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
