Intelligent script, bad direction.

This can by the best exponent of bolivian comedy, but the crew has a long way to go yet...

The script is great. Some lines, like Guery Sandoval's ones, are outstanding and can make you laugh or be surprised or both at the same time. Intelligent humor, that's how I would call it, not for all tastes but very, very smart. Photography is simply bad. Scenes are almost always filled with effects, transitions and similar; this makes you think you are watching an aficionado video-clip and not a professional movie. Direction is as bad as photography. Acting is good, special mencion to Sandoval's and Mendieta's.

Something you realize when watching this movie is that such a script could have been exploded more properly with a different crew. But it's not just about glorifying the script, it has its bads too and one of them is the excessive use of unnecessary speech and events, you should understand what I mean when you watch the movie. This unnecessary lines make the movie too long and boring at times.

And, it's very annoying having to deal with the screen effects, color effects, transitions, split-screen (I insist in this one) pop-up texts and others in the whole movie. It could have been done much better.

Overall, it's the best comedy movie from Bolivia. Could have been better as I said, but it's enjoyable in many aspects.
