What’s in a name?
Apparently, when it comes to the latest film from writer/director Nicolas Lopez, it means a lot.
Entitled Que Pena Tu Vida (Fuck My Life, or Fml from here on out), this marks the third film for Spanish director Lopez, and is his take on one of the most maligned and pastiched genres around: the romantic comedy.
