Would be filmmakers with an obsession for making their own movies, should check this satire as a guide about what to avoid when going into production. The two desperate men at the center of the story seem to ignore the basic fact: they have no clue about how to make a film.
Benito and Carolo, two men who live in their own fantasy world, try to sell their ill conceived idea of a movie to Amanda Castro, a star that has seen better times. She has fallen into despair by drinking a lot. The pair resort to kidnapping Amanda, who they think would work well with the indie they decide to film. Who knows, it might resuscitate her career!
David Trueba's script started probably with a bright idea. Unfortunately, the film becomes a tedious, which at 115 minutes, is much too long for its own good. Bringing Santiago Segura and Pablo Carbonell to give life to his two would be film directors, doesn't add much to the overall fun of this film. Ariadna Gil, who is romantically involved with the director, doesn't add anything to the movie.
A masterpiece, this movie is not!
