The script had a lot of potential to be a decent, lighthearted comedy.
Sadly, almost every aspect of cinematography that went into making the movie was terrible.
The most glaring issue that bothered me is the scenography and costume design.
It's like the people responsible for it have never seen, for example, a romanian country-side home and people. Instead they put together what looks like museum sets, where everything is perfectly placed and there is no authenticity. The clothes all look brand new bought from Zara.
Casting is terrible too, nobody fits their role at all, the "peasants" all look like corporate hipsters, the "bum" looks like the richest bum ever with perfect figure, hair, eyebrows, makeup, teeth...
Acting is pretty terrible too. There is an attempt to play some caricatural character like Ramon and his cousin, but the actors/directors don't really commit to the portrayal so what ends up coming through is half/half. Half caricature half serious, and neither works at all, it just feels forced and cringey.
The only saving grace seems "Gargaritza" who's the only good casting choice, in my opinion, and does a decent job portraying the self centered, yoga practicing vegan hip girl who faints at the sight of meat.
All in all, this feels more like a Youtube skit you put together with friends and an iphone, rather than an actual piece of cinema.
Oh and the constant and obvious product placement is annoying as hell too.
