"Father is only one 3" is an absolute fiasco. Not only is the film horrendous in terms of direction and acting, but it also demonstrates an alarming lack of originality and creativity. Santiago Segura, in his dual role as director and actor, proves to be incapable in both aspects. His direction seems to be limited to a simple "action!" without any effective guidance, resulting in a cast completely lost in the scene. His acting, on the other hand, is deplorable and reflects his lack of skills in the art of acting.

The script of the film is a perfect example of creative recycling. Although there are only two scenes directly recycled from the previous installments, the rest of the plot is a mere repetition of ideas already seen, seasoned with forced Christmas elements to try to give them a fresh air. The film seems to be the vision of a sexagenarian (Segura) on youth, treating his personal perspective as a universal reality and without taking into account authenticity or relevance to modern audiences.

The photography is another disaster, with shots that seem to have been thought through beyond basic and poor execution. The film, as a whole, is a clear example of why it is time for Segura and his team to stop making films. Spanish cinema needs to regenerate, breathe and free itself from these productions that only contribute to its deterioration. I hope Segura reads this, because he is the reason for the current hatred of Spanish cinema. This thing is not only a terrible film, but it also represents a creative stagnation that needs to be overcome.
