A Spanish romantic comedy, produced for Netflix, with everything in the right place, that is to say, that reproduces all the clichés of the genre in an exemplary way and without great traces of originality.
The funniest part of the film are the self-help videos of the Argentine guru, precisely because it is the only trace of any originality. Everything else has been seen and is totally predictable.
Of course, the genre works, the characters generate empathy, the film goes by fast and causes a few complicit smiles. It's been like this since Claudette Colbert and Cary Grant, passing by Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal and so many others.
It pleases with its enormous predictability, but it doesn't add anything, it just entertains.
