      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Like much of director Francis Veber's work, The Valet is a witty, madcap farce with memorably zany characters.

      Audience Member I loved it! It was fun, deep and I love the fact that it had so much Spanish intertwined. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It was funny and heartwarming something that's been missed in so many movies these days Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrific film because the screenwriter wrote working class people in a lovely way without resorting to stereotypes. Eugenio Dorbez is inspired as the lead and Carmen Salinas steals the show as his mother. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it! It kept me and most importantly, my picky husband entertained the entire time and I love the unconventional ending. It's a must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It's entertaining enough to keep me watching. Recommended if you need need something lighthearted to watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A very entertaining film, with subtle humour. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Joshua Land Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel It's not as outrageous or as hilarious as his best work, but it's still charming, even when it isn't finding the funnybone. Rated: 3/5 Jun 20, 2007 Full Review Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic It's all empty calories, of course, but that's what French pastry -- not to mention popcorn -- is all about. Rated: 3.5/5 May 25, 2007 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …an enjoyable rom-com that doesn’t disgrace the high standards of the film’s original creator… Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2022 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof A very lazy movie, with some good moments and some good performances, but that is not memorable. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Heather Huntington ReelzChannel.com Cute, breezy, and fun. Rated: 6/10 Aug 28, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
