Nothing new

I've seen the film and I think it is just one of those that rather you just forget right after seeing it or you just believe you haven't seen it, it no matters anyway. The film makes you laugh at times but only that and has nothing new that can provide you with any innovative feedback, but it was nice to see regarding that I come also from there, the film does not depict nothing new to the viewers it's been seen often themes like these and as far as I'm concerned there will be people to find it amusing rather than boring and anyway the situation that goes right now in cuba should not be so easily depicted and non believable for the eyes of the audience cause that's not a way to get away from cuba. but i would rate the film 5 out of 10
