Reception
[edit | edit source]Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave the film 55 out of 100 points, considering the film to be "irregular", even if it featured a couple of hilarious sketches, also assessing that "despite trying to be very open-minded, the film has the classic structure of romantic comedies and feels dated".[8]
Yago García of Cinemanía scored 3 out of 5 stars, considering that "the film's development is predictable and not all of its jokes work", "but Colomo has made it a likeable work".[7]
