    Great character. Mix of drama and Comedy.

    A vulgar, homophobic, racist boss, with a drug habit, tries to save his company and his life, with the help of a woman who cleans his office. It´s a comedy, but also a drama, a original romance, and a story about power relations in work environment.

    Tightly Scoped and Lightly Entertaining

    Glad I don't work at this company. The owner of a small business, also going through a messy divorce, sees his company heading into major financial trouble. While sleeping in his office, he has an interesting encounter with a snoopy and savvy cleaning lady. They befriend each other and she unexpectedly may have a knack at helping him land on his feet after all this. Will he land on his feet? Will they land in bed? What plan have the co-workers concocted? This is a pleasant little comedy that offers light smirks along with a decent enough story to keep you engaged for the duration.

    A dramedy about a CEO suffering misadventures and distresses when his big company goes awry

    This entertaining dramedy concerning the business world and relations in work environment. Dealing with a successful entrepreneur, Luis Callejo, he is the homophic, stiff-upper-lip boss of a big company, but nowadays things go wrong and business upside down. As he discovers an employee is robbing the enterprise and at the same time the council of administration wants to miss him due to the finances are in crisis and economic discrepancy. The distressed employer has only a week to resolve these problems, while working from sunrise to sunset. Moreover, his wife : Diana Lazaro, asks him for divorce. Along the way he meets a gorgeous Colombian cleaning lady :Juana Acosta, while having a shower at the office. Then, both of whom have fun, finally, he falls in love with her, as an unexpected ally will erupt in his life.

    An amusing dramedy concerning ambition, corruption, power relationships among member of an enterprise and dark activities of big companies valued at many thousands of Euros that upside down . As well as the unfortunate consequences when these enterprises go bankrupt and their stock exchange shares worthless. This is an acceptable picture that got several nominations, as Cinema Writers Circle Award and nominee best adapted script Nominee Goya best adapted screenplay. This is an amusing comedy with dramatic touches and nice interpretation . Stars Luis Callejo playing a vulgar, fast-talking, semi-racist CEO who if successful and commanding , however from one moment to the next sees his associates betray him and eventually he wants to commit suicide by throwing from the skycraper. Callejo is a notorious actor with a long career, usually in secondary roles, such as Tarde para la ira, Mientras dure la guerra, Oro, El hombre de las mil caras, Risen, Kiki el amor se hace, Palmeras en la nieves and TV series as La peste, Libertad, El barco, Capitan Alatriste, Princesa de Eboli, El Continental. While Juana Acosta plays decently Ariana, a beautiful cleaner lady of the night shift entrenched in the office, who works in sunset cleaning the building. And remaining support cast as Carlo D'Ursi playing the traitor colleague and Diana Lazaro as his wife Laura who kicks him out .

    The motion picture shot in Madrid and Lisboa was professionally directed by Sergio Barrejon. He his a good professional, a fine director and especially writer, as he has written a lot of TV series as La Catedral del mar, Servir y proteger, Sonata de silencio, Amar es para siempre, Mi querido Klikowsky, El pasado es mañana and Cinema as Hijo de Cain, and this "Jefe" , the only one he directed . Rating 6/10. Acceptable and passable.

    Absolutely awful it deserves an F-

    This film has to to be one of the years worst films of 2019. Prentious boring and not funny.

    Not fair for Spanish cinema

    Within 10 minutes you can already tell how it will end. "Empty" script and unrealistic interpretation. The theme itself is interesting, especially as it is rarely seen in Spanish movies, but it is very inconsistent and poorly executed.
