Why watch this film?
Eugenio Derbez produces a comedy movie, which more than providing laughs and entertainment, is a reflection on what it means to go back to the past to reminisce about dreams. When I am Young fits within the mold of the romantic comedies so popular in Mexican commercial cinema, though it is very pleasant to watch. It has a very interesting cast led by Veronica Castro, with Natasha Duperyron in the same role but young, completed by Michael Ronda, Eduardo Santamarina, Pierre Louis, Edgar Vivar and Manuel 'Flaco' Ibañez.

El mesero
Starring Vadhir Derbez (‘How to Become a Conqueror’) and Bárbara López (‘Sweet Caroline’), 'El Mesero' tells a captivating love story. The plot is simple and follows Rodrigo Sada (Derbez), who is stuck between two worlds: the one he belongs to and the one he aspires to belong to, as he works as a waiter in a luxurious restaurant and dreams of living like the clients he serves daily. Luis, his best friend and co-worker, advises him to stop thinking about all those things that are completely out of his reach. In doing so, he meets Mariana (López), a woman whom Rodrigo does everything to appear to be at the top, moving heaven, sea and earth to show his worth and gain the attention of the woman of his dreams, who belongs to an important family of entrepreneurs. Directed by Raúl Martínez, it's a movie that will leave you with a smile.
Grumpy Christmas
Part of the big wave of Christmas movies released by Netflix in 2021, 'Una Navidad no tan padre' is a comedy that tells the story of Don Servando, an elderly man who joins his family and travels to the beach to spend Christmas with his daughter-in-law's aunt, Dona Alicia, a controlling woman who soon becomes Don Servando's biggest enemy. When his position as 'head' of the family is called into question, the protagonist won't stop until he proves that Dona Alicia is a horrible person, even if it means ruining Christmas for the entire family. This is a movie made to watch with the whole family, with everyday situations that we all go through at Christmas and with a light-hearted humor that will captivate audiences of all ages, a nice choice to entertain the family during the celebrations.
Comedy
Love is in the Air
A seaplane pilot flying in the tropics finds herself falling for the man sent to sink her business.
Paint
Loosely inspired by the iconic Bob Ross, "Paint" is a comedy starring Owen Wilson as Carl Nargle, a kind-hearted painter who hosts his own show on public television and seems to have it all (even the attention of many women) until he gets replaced. With a tone of ironic yet subdued comedy, in the vein of "Napoleon Dynamite" or Wes Anderson's films, the movie provides a complex portrait of its protagonist, though stumbling in its presentation of the rest of the characters. Nonetheless, it's an entertaining tale about learning to find our place when we think we've lost what's most valuable in our lives.
How to Deal with a Heartbreak
Sequel to the successful Peruvian romantic comedy "Soltera codiciada" from 2018. In How to Deal with a Heartbreak, we pick up the story of María Fe (Gisela Ponce de León), who seems to be going through her best moment... until the pandemic arrives. Struggling with creative block but committed to writing a second book for a publisher, she faces an existential crisis in the worst possible way. This sequel is interesting because it takes into consideration how the pandemic affected an entire generation both professionally and economically. However, the narrative isn't as effective as the first one, as it tends to get lost in unnecessary detours and twists. You'll enjoy it if you liked the original.
