Randy Cordova Arizona Republic The characters are fully rounded, and you wind up emotionally invested in them. Rated: 4/5 Jan 26, 2017 Full Review Yvonne Condes Common Sense Media Mostly sweet Spanish-language comedy has some iffy stuff. Rated: 3/5 Jan 30, 2017 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Tender, warm, witty and refreshingly honest. Hctor Bonilla gives a bravura performance. Rated: 8.8/10 Jan 26, 2017 Full Review Fausto Ponce Proceso A film that gets better at the end, but it's not enough to save it. Too bad because it had more to offer.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Gustavo R Héctor Bonilla , Jaqueline Bracamontes y Benny Ibarra actúan en esta película acerca de un abuelo que corren de un asilo por que se queda sin dinero pero también porque es un maleducado y amargado. Se tiene que ir a vivir con un hijo que no tiene una vida que el abuelo aprueba.
