Critics Consensus

With a pair of likable leads and a story that subverts rom-com expectations, The Valet is a rare remake worth celebrating.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It can't figure out if it wants to be a naturalistic portrait of L.A. or a manic comedy. Either way, it doesn't work.

The Valet is entertaining, thanks mostly to the talented cast, but it tries to do way too much.

It ultimately delivers on the raison d'etre of any rom-com: a satisfactory mix of laughs and love.

Rated: 3/4

The Valet is a very funny film about embracing yourself amidst the chaos of culture clash.

Both this and the original have the same problem: The valet and the main girl don't end up together. I know this was done to subvert expectations and avoid cliches, but some cliches work- like the main two characters ending up together. Watching a movie like this where the main two characters don't end up together is like watching an action movie where the main hero and the main villain never fight each other.

An endearingly told tale about family and loyal friends, the ones that you will love until the absolute end of ends, those who help you park your problems, build great runways that they extend, involved in all of life's precious moments with unsurpassed, kind, dividends. A wonderful piece of sincerity transcribed into film.

LOVED IT!! I love every film that Eugenio Derbez is in!! Should've gotten higher ratings! And I didn't want the movie to end! I never seen an ad or trailer for this I just found this typing 'best movies to watch' and I thought to give it a shot since my favorite actor is in it. (:

Great movie, hilarious and enjoyable. Spectacular work from both starring actors, and the plot suits them perfectly. Better to watch if you understand both Spanish and English, as there are some slang words and expressions that fail to generate the corresponding effect on the audience when translated. (My qualification is based on the knowledge of both languages). There are some tedious scenes, but it is overall entertaining.

It's a good comedy, the acting and the background story of the protagonists are nearly mediocre but decent.
