Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras Despite its best efforts to satirize the political system, the film isn’t able to escape the typical flaws of modern Mexican comedies. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Lorena This movie is funny especially if you like the comedy that the main protagonist Adrian Uribe aka “El Vitor” does. It’s a great movie to bring the family. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Vegas V With all the crazy elections going on in the USA right now, this was a breath of fresh air! It was funny - it was spot on - it was true. The acting was satire and so was the plot! Loved it - I had a good time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Angelica No fuel lo que esperaba pero estubo bien . Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review isaac This was a movie that provided a brief pause from this divisiveness we have in politics today by presenting a hilarious what if plot. The comedy was edgy and good for the whole family. The fact that it was in Spanish (with English subtitles) made this bilingual family laugh together. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Karen Súper recomendada para reír en familia Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review EDDIE C Loved every minute of this movie. Great story and acting.
