What a great time did I had with this movie!!! Visually is remarkable. You can guess the tone of the movie just by the look.
Everything is exaggerated: The characters, the humor, the photography. Like it took place in a parallel universe with this own rules, but everything make sense if you let your self be absorb by the movie.
The actors put everything to create this exaggerated characters and the plot take the time to develop them, without rushing any interaction. I still couldn't believe they did it so well in a movie so short.
I can't believe the low rating here (6.1 now), I was force to put mine. Maybe it's difficult to diggest the tone of you're not latin, but believe me, it's brillan!

Absurd, exaggerated and insanely funny!!
Boring and with overacted performances
It is a pretty boring film, the plot is certainly brainless, and it contains the "corridos tumbados" theme and some other folk mexican music, including banda sinaloense. It is a shame that us mexicans cannot produce a good film, I think years have passed since I have seen a decent Mexican film. Americans don't see, or probably they don't know they are consuming one of the many trashy films of the current century in Mexican cinematography; maybe that is the reason why they think this was a good film, or even the other bodrium called "Mexzombies". If you want to fall asleep or have a very poor taste on cinema, watch it. 2 stars because Harold Azuara appears in it LOL.
Pick Me up
This is an uplifting movie, those that you see when you want your brain to be refreshed. Its fun, lighthearted, positive and funny. It's a Wes Anderson meets Euphoria but with Mexican colloquialism.
I love how all the characters are not a whitewashed/American version but an authentic outlook of how diversity in Mexico looks like. The colors in the movie are so vibrant and it really influences the scenes and the music!!! The music is amazing! Mexican regional music is so rich and you can be surprised with a variety of it.
Now, If you speak spanish try watching it in that language its even funnier.
