Marco L (CASTELLANO) A ver… hay pelis malas, y luego está Se requiere mantenimiento. No hace reír, no emociona, y se olvida tan rápido que ni da tiempo a enfadarse. Prometía ser distinta, pero nada. Es lo mismo de siempre. Personajes planos, frases recicladas, música de ascensor… todo igual. A los diez minutos ya estás mirando el móvil. O pensando en cualquier otra cosa, lo que sea. Madelaine Petsch y Jacob Scipio lo intentan, pero no hay forma. No hay alma, no hay ritmo, no hay chispa. Nada. Parece una comedia hecha con plantilla. De esas que alguien escribe en automático: "mete a dos guapos, un malentendido, beso final, créditos". Pues eso. La dirección de Lacey Uhlemeyer tampoco levanta el vuelo. No tiene tono, ni gracia, ni energía. Los chistes no entran, los momentos románticos no llegan, y cuando intenta ponerse seria da hasta apuro. Todo parece hecho con prisa, sin cariño, como si dijeran: "bueno, ya está, súbela tal cual". Lo único que se salva —y de largo— es la canción This Is the Day, de The The. Suena dos veces y por un momento parece que estás viendo otra película. Tiene alma, tiene vida. Y justo por eso duele más, porque te recuerda lo que esta historia nunca llega a tener. Y al final… nada. Te quedas igual que al principio, pero más cansado. Más vacío, incluso. No te deja nada, no te enseña nada… y ni siquiera te hace enfadar. En fin. Hay pelis que es mejor guardar bajo llave y fingir que nunca existieron. Esta, sinceramente, debería haberse quedado en el cajón. (ENGLISH) Let’s be honest… there are bad movies, and then there’s Maintenance Required. It’s not funny, it’s not moving, and it disappears from your mind before you even have time to get annoyed. It promised to be different, but nope. Same old story. Flat characters, recycled lines, elevator music… everything feels the same. Ten minutes in and you’re already checking your phone — or thinking about dinner. Madelaine Petsch and Jacob Scipio try, they really do, but there’s just no way to save it. No soul, no rhythm, no spark. Nothing. It feels like a rom-com made with a template — the kind someone writes on autopilot: "throw in two attractive leads, a misunderstanding, a kiss at the end, roll credits." And that’s exactly what it is. Lacey Uhlemeyer’s direction doesn’t help either. No tone, no charm, no energy. The jokes don’t land, the romantic bits fall flat, and when the film tries to be serious, it’s just awkward. Everything looks rushed, careless — like someone said, "whatever, it’s done, just upload it." The only thing worth saving — and by far — is the song This Is the Day by The The. It plays twice, and for a moment you feel like you’re watching another movie. It’s got soul, it’s got life. Which makes it hurt even more, because it reminds you of what this story never manages to have. And in the end… nothing. You’re the same as when you started, just more tired. Maybe even emptier. It leaves nothing, teaches nothing, provokes nothing. Some movies should just stay locked away and be forgotten. Honestly, this one should’ve never left the drawer.

They didnt even use or pay respect to the best part which is the male lead putting in the effort to win over the female lead AFTER he realizes its his nemesis. WTF!? Lost opportunity! Im not saying it wasn't cute but they could have done SO much more Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/25 Full Review Christy C Where is the comedy? Where is the romance? The actresses are great in previous roles, but this movie didn't do their talent any justice. I had high hopes for this movie and ended up bored beyond my mind. The only character I found remotely entertaining is the plant lover friend. Other than that, no chemistry between the lead and supporting actors. Such a long and awkward movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review Audience Member Obviously this was going to be formulaic but it doesn't even achieve the basic level of entertainment of any of the previous movies it's copying. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review James M. I’m pretty sure the whole point of this movie is to show how well the actors are doing in the gym.
