Muy divertido

I think it's a good adaptation of cartoon and I found it so funny. I lived in Spain and understand Spanish language. That's way, I understand that some people doesn't like this movie. A little bit difficult feel the ambiance of movie, if you're not familiar to Spanish society and language..
