Sadly this script is a mess and the direction didn't help. The film meanders, with pointless scenes and characters who's actions don't follow their motivations. It's set up as a comedy but doesn't work as one, and suddenly at the end tries to pull your heartstrings as a tragedy but it didn't earn a single moment of laughter or sadness. Just inept filmmaking, except for the cinematography, sets, costumes... Story was not well thought out and there is no sense of pace for the plot arc nor for individual scenes. None of the characters are fleshed out in a real way, not even the two main characters really get beyond one dimensional types.
I've seen much better from Mexican cinema. See "Matando Cabos" instead.
