This is a good example of a sad attempt to a dramedy combo.
As a comedy it´s as boring and stiff as the Nora character and she is dead since the first five minutes and just lies around waiting for someone to burry her forever. There´s no character with any charisma or anything funny to say or do. The actors all seem to think this is a drama and act like that. Also they speak in a really weird manner as if they were all reading the script to a mic, as if all the movie was just dubbed. (I´m spanish and I´ve watched enough mexican movies to know how they speak when they act like real people).
As a drama it all makes more sense but has no soul. The script and even the premise is a comedy one. The movie forces it and manages to work from time to time but it´s a lost war.
The camera work feels like television from time to time but it´s good enough overall with some good shots here and there, nothing spectacular. The acting it´s not as bad as misguided. The secondary characters give the best and worst moments of the film: Angelina Peláez has a simple but effective character and does a good easy job, Enrique Arreola gives some useless good feeling too and Ari Brickman ain´t so bad.
Fernando Luján interpretes the main character and has the same problemas as the movie. I can see that he could have delivered a funnier acting or at least some well deserved laughs but he doesn´t. I dont want to blame him, though, because I feel it was more a directing/wrinting failure than his but, the thing is that he owns lots of boring, bland and silly screentime.
It was supposed to be a black/dark comedy with some dramatic, intense and emotional moments but in the end it´s just a weak melo-drama to sleep through.
