    Written by 10yo for 10yo

    Written by a 10 years boy for his classmates. And on top of it all, the writer thinks he is the smarter in class. Cliche after cliche and on the nose information that makes you feel you are watching Sesame Street. This insult to the industry and the money it has cost is not only the writer's fault. The stupidity is all over: bright sunny days in winter time and during the nights, actors that drop their lines like a broadcaster or await their time to speak ignoring their surroundings. Every last person involved in this production should never work again. Even the clothes are not in accord for the season or the location. Shameful shameful shameful. Even for the low standards of Spanish films and specially Spanish comedies.
