Mi suegra me odia (2022)
Unexpected! Funny with subtle ironic humor
I went to the theatre without much expectation, and left with a smile. The movie follows Clara, who goes to visit her in-laws for the weekend. The mother is a mess, and Clara is very neat and clean. They are the opposite of each other, and that's what generates all the humor, which I thought was very subtle and ironic. The mom is very old school, and wishes Clara to do stuff for her "baby", such as preparing his favorite food, and pampering him like she does. But Clara doesn't want to do that, and revels againt her. At one point the mom really steps over the line, when she hipnotizes Clara in an attempt to cure her OCD. Then Clara gets her revenge. I thought the message behind, is that of not trying to change who you are to be accepted. I think this is an important message given today's intolerance.
I'll watch again.
