With a very slight resemblance to "What Happens in Vegas", "Recién Cazado" is a romantic comedy that tells us the story of a man who gets married after a crazy night of booze but doesn't remember anything about it. Unlike the Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kusher movie, here the woman's character played by Gabriela Vergara knows that she got married the night before, but her new husband played by Jaime Camil don't.
Here we have Sebastian a soon to be successful enologist who likes to have sex with lots of women and is very good at it. He also gets drunk and goes to party everyday. But one day, he wakes up and realizes he married a beautiful woman the night before. He freaks out and asks her to annul marriage but she refuses to do so until she is sure she didn't get pregnant. Which means Sebastian will have to share his house with this strange woman for three weeks at least, giving them time to know each other.
While Jaime Camil finds here the perfect excuse to develop his comic style, there is no chemistry between Vergara and him and that is a serious handicap when you are talking about the two main characters. Still, Camil's performance carries the whole movie along those of Angelica Aragón and the at some times hilarious but wasted Dino García as Camil's best friend.
I wish Dino García could had more time on screen, his character had a lot of potential giving the comedic nature of him and Camil. Truth to be told, the movie could be a lot better with some changes to the script and a better performance by Vergara.
In the end, a movie slightly better than "What Happens in Vegas" and recommended for fans of Camil's work in "La fea más bella" and "Siete Días".
