Terrific!

[isabelcarsg · 5/10 · 28 May 2023]

Funny, original and entertaining. A must watch. The bad reviews are probably not Spanish speakers and the jokes got lost in translation

This movie use many current cultural references to move the plot in an amusing and light way. Thank you for the laughs!

Loved it! It's funny and the dialogues make fun of all the digital nonsense we are all playing with right now. I wish it was a serie to have more of this creation.

We started watching without much expectation and were greatly surprises at the inventive and humour. The oposite main characters are a nice combination and the cast of secundarios all add in a delightful way.

Horrible

I don't understand why Netflix do things like this.

Good idea, terribly executed.

The movie surges from a good idea. Show a comical criticism of the current generation's addiction to phones and social media around all the aspects of their lives.

What's the result?

By trying to include many of these situations, sadly none are accomplished and the comedy never appears. The movie goes way too fast from minute one, so it is hard to keep up with the rhythm, hence the story stumbles on all the situations that were established in the first place. The extremely fast pace ruins enjoyment and it gets reflected in the script, in the performances, and the situations of the characters.

In the third act, it seems that the aim is to solve the characters' arc, but there is no real development, so it feels that the end arrives because the film had to end due to lack of "funding".

I'm giving it a 2 for the good intentions, but it is genuinely a "hard to watch" movie.

One of the worst movies of 2021

[osuna0796 · 1/10 · 25 July 2021]

One of the worst movies of 2021 so far, full of bad acting and cliche scenes and references.

This movie tries so hard to make reference to the current trends ad at the same time mock them with an idea that might have worked but has such a terrible script and acting that it's almost painful to watch.

If you have a Netflix account please avoid this movie because even if you don't pay a cinema ticket it will feel as a waste of your money and time.

Terrible

Horrible movie.

This movie is so bad it should be a torture routine. So bad so bad.

Acceptable

[faer_kr · 8/10 · 23 July 2021]

A Mexican dramatic comedy It is about best friends who, under the influence of narcotics, launch a new social signatures app into the world, having the support of a company they begin to develop it, but it blows their minds.

It is appreciated that it is not the typical generic formula romantic comedy.

Quality.

Entertaining With light jokes, some organic and well-behaved, others somewhat forced.

Good production values. Editing helps a lot in this work.

A bit loaded with profanity and obscenities.

The lead actors do a wonderful performance, the cast is fine.

Although the script is not the wonder of the world, it tries to give a very interesting point of view, but it is completely lost.

There are two or three moments that do not add anything to the film and the plot, but they are still passable.

He talks about the crisis of the age of 30 and dreams and projects, of friendship, of teamwork, about the excessive use of applications.

A movie for millennials.

Highly recommended.

This film is an example of how comedy in Mexico begins to reinvent itself (for better) little by little. A great achievement! Highly recommended.
