Televisa films is proud to present one of the most celebrated pictures of the year, "El rey de los taxistas" is so funny like Happy Gilmore, and have an excellent cast like "The Godfather", if you think "El rey de los taxistas" is brilliant you are wrong, is more than that, it's by far the best Mexican movie. Benito Alazraky made a masterpiece, this movie immortalize the actor Luis de Alba who made "El chido" is so outrageously funny in this movie, i think is de Alba at the top of his form. This movie is strong, good script, great casting, excellent acting, and excellent directing.

Two thumbs up.

Brilliant.

This an authentic piece of art, its really delightful, i thought it was just about a silly guy trying to make me laugh , but i was wrong. Luis de Alba can take you from laughing with that peculiar humor, very Mexican, to cry and weep with the suffering and drama the movie transmits to you. It really shows some of the daily problems, not just in Mexico, but in the whole world, its not too easy to understand the plot sometimes because it has a lot of surreal content, a lot of art takes, and amazing shocks of confussion. I've never cried with a movie, but i couldn't avoid to when i watch this film. Watch it and I'm sure you will laugh to death, and you might cry, I'm sure you will enjoy it and have a time you wont forget. Sadly, its hard to get this movie out of Mexico, but i recommend you try to.

Note: The ending might be shocking, its something you wouldn't expect.
