Miss Congeniality (2000)
Not bad but far from good
First of all I admit that I´m not a big fan of this kind of comedies, however I´ve seen many that are way better than this one.
The plot is intriguing and it could have been much more funnier but it felt like a missed opportunity. I blame this for the director. Sandra Bullock does a fine job in the "fish out of the water" role. Michael Caine manages to produce some genuine laughs although he wasn´t properly used. William Shatner and Candice Bergen are also totally wasted and the rest of secondary actors do a mediocre job.
If you want some light comedy you´ll probably be entertained but don´t expect nothing more.
5.5/10.
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
Not for weaken hearts
I got to say, this movie is great. Meryl Streep is superb in this role as an Italian middle aged woman who is living a life that may not be the one she was hoping when she was younger.
Clint Eastwood, the photographer, the "handsome intruder" does a pretty good job too showing us a different side of him which I really enjoyed.
They carry themselves almost the whole movie and they don´t fail to grab our attention during the entire time.
However I must concede that some specific sequence near the end (during a rainy day) made my heart felt torn. It hit me really hard, making me realise how much I miss the one and only love that I´ve had.
Great movie, but may not be suitable for everyone. 8.5/10.
Granizo (2022)
All Hail should fall over the director
Oh boy, this could have been so much more. It tries to be a comedy, it fails. Could be a drama, it fails. Maybe some disaster film? It isn´t. Or maybe it is, regarding quality.
Francella, a once mediocre comedian turn into a very good drama actor during the last fifteen years, it´s totally wasted here. His comedy doesn´t work.
The film starts very weak with tons of horrible characters. Unfunny, uninteresting, and thrown into the mix in such an old way....pure antique stereotypes that are hard to swallow.
The movie gets better during the second and third act, not a great improvement but enough to make this film watchable. Film is also a word that doesn´t fit here. Sometimes it feels like a mediocre TV show.
My rating is 6 only because some decent special effects and the dramatic second act, where I could notice some decent acting. Besides despite some many flaws (some BIG), this film entertains a little bit.
Mi obra maestra (2018)
Friendship without barriers
You can laugh a lot with this movie, but this is far from being a comedy. It´s more about a relationship between two close friends, a four decade friendship and how the love each other.
One is a great artist who is bitter about all the society and the modern world, the other one is an artist curator and his agent.
Luis Brandoni plays the artist and he steals every scene he´s in it thanks to his voice, eyes and all the experience that such talented actor has grown over many years. Francella is very solid too.
The history starts somewhat like a comedy, but it turns to a drama and then you´ll find an hilarous plot twist.
Some nice photography, adequate music, a good script and great performances makes this a very enjoyable film. I totally recommend it!
