An amusing and passable comedy with plenty of disconcerting and ridiculous situations.
ma-cortes14 January 2024
This is a film in sitcom style about social networks. The protagonist is Mabel (finely played by a nice Blanca Suárez), an event organizer who is about to take the trip of a lifetime with her husband, a not very successful actor named Javi (Nicolás Furtado). The problems begin on the plane, when Mabel overdoes her first-class seat with the free drink and ends up committing a mistake... which leads her to another mistake while she finds a surprise on her husband's cell phone and subsequently becomes a ¨Trending Topic¨. As Mabel has gone viral. And in the least desirable way possible.

Comedy with enough resources to create a crazy mess that in the end ends up being quite bland, but it is appreciated that it does not include crude humor, nor too many sexual and other references in bad taste. Developing some silly and improbable situations full of black humor, but without the ideal rhythm for a crazy background, sometimes showing cold and forced situations, and concluding the story in a very comfortable way. It begins with the classic affair of a frustrated vacation during a flight to Polynesia, and a couple's disagreement that ends up echoing on social networks, as she unlocks her sleeping husband's cell phone with innocent intent, but what she finds is proof of infidelity. This fact should guide the plot to the satire of the current nonsense with the masses, gathered from anonymity in networks, converted into harsh judges of a nonsense that ends in tragedy. There are certain sparks without histrionics, and the plot moves with agility but with its ups and downs. Stars Blanca Suárez who does quite well as the jinxed young woman who finds herself involved in a lot of problems when she becomes a trending topic on the massive social networks, while Nicolás Furtado is her adulterous husband and Enric Auquer is discreet as her new suitor, providing a serious-comic character, the latter was much better in his previous film 'La vida padre' junto con Karra Elejalde. But Luis Rellán is the one who really steals the show as the shameless father who finally finds his redemption.

The motion picture was mediocre but professionally directed by Jorge Coira, containing some flaws, gaps and a lot of unlikely incidents . Coira explains: ¨There are few things healthier than having a laugh, and there are few things more fun than the shame of others". Coira is a good craftsman who has made several TV episodes from known series as Piratas , Pelotas , RIS Cientifica , El Comisario , Padre Casares , Hierro, Rapa and Se quien eres . And directing ocassionally for cinema as El Año de la Garrapata, Torre de Breoghan, 18 comidas and this Me he hecho viral(2023) . Rating : 5.5/10 . Acceptable and decent youthful comedy.
