After watching the trailer, I thought this could be fun: rich boy gets engaged to working class girl, and a funny clash of cultures between the families follows, as in e.g. My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And for the first 20 or so minutes, that is what we get.

Then it turns strange. The boy and girl become background characters, and it becomes a romantic drama about the mother of groom, torn between her feelings for the energetic father of the bride, and her loyalty to her rich but boring scientist husband. And it becomes more light drama than comedy.

OK, now the spoiler:

the boy and the girl happily marry, but the affair between the mother of the groom and the father of bride causes both their marriages to break up, leaving all four of them single. I know life is sometimes like that, but having two marriages break up is not what I call an enjoyable romantic comedy.

This is a fun Spanish comedy.

Too bad the cute son/fiance can't control his face and he over acts with it - like a spoiled 9 year old.

The ending is a kicker and, frankly, worth the watch. We can all take a lesson or two from it.

Enjoy!

About love and wornout relationships due to many years marriage, symptoms that the grumpy old man reckognize and have been and do still fight against, due to lots of reasos, but in sickness and health we shall endure to death or whatever they say in the wows on your wedding day, a day that the grumpy old man was so nervous that day my mind has completely cut away from my memorandum, but that was a blustery day yes, and my niece were babbling just behind us in the church irritatingly repeating ''no,no,no,no...'' so i ended up shakingly saying yes, at the same time wishing to flap the flabber outta thet nosy creature crawling behind my back...

its a at moments a honest and laughworthy comedy with loads of twists and shocking thrills, but also some plotholes here and there with a nonbalanced timeline, but the castensemble delivers from good to great, and if you like spanish neomodern comedy done in a linguistically beautiful way, without too much rattattatta-ta dialouges uzi style i give this a seven from my heart.

A bit long playtime but the opposites are fascinating, so go for it if you've got time.
