a fun "symposium"

El Chanfle 2 is a Mexican movie from 1982 and is a sequel to Chanfle from 1979, both movies are very good but I think this one is much better.

After the departure of Carlos Villagran and Ramon Valdes things become more Strange and Boring but as a replacement they brought in the Great Mexican Act "El Comanche" which provides a Decent Performance but was not the best option to Replace Villagran and Valdez.

The performances as always are Decent, the ones who perform best here are Roberto Gome Bolaños, Ruben Aguirre and Raul "El Chato" Padilla, these last actors are First Class and provide memorable scenes!, while the rest are just passable actors but They give unmemorable performances.

The Movie in a while can become boring, especially the Beginning, but it manages to maintain the balance between the boring and the entertaining, but not in the best way.

The Comedy Scenes may not be great for the average person but for someone who likes movies as much as I do they are too funny, especially the Scene with the Suitcases and the last 10 minutes.

The Movie has great music by Leonardo Velazquez and is easily attached to each scene, the best part is the Last 10 Minutes which have First Class music.

To be the Sequel and the one that put an end to "Chanfle" is an excellent sequel that does not fail, it is even more fun than the first and surpasses the previous one in many aspects, the bad thing would be how Undervalued the movie is currently already which only has a 6.3 Rating on IMDb and a 4.6 on Filmaffinity and in my opinion it should have a better rating (only on Filmaffinity the 6.3 it has on IMDb is acceptable).

In itself, a great movie by Chespirito that fulfills its purpose which is to make people laugh and entertain and even surpasses the first in many categories! The ending is not the best but it is fun, its last 10 minutes are possibly the best part of the movie. Movie but unfortunately the ending is not as iconic as the first one which ends with a football game and the chanfle destroying his boss's office, but what matters is that it is a decent sequel that fulfills its purposes!.

For everything I said before, this movie gets an 8!

Better than the first one

Warning: Spoilers
This is probably one of the few cases when the sequel is better than the first one in every aspect, the main problem with the first movie is that the jokes and humor are slowled by the constant "touching" fell good moments, but this one rids completely of that and puts the characters in a story completely guided to laughs, same as the first movie, this one also relies heavily on misunderstandings and the final scene with the chase through the hotel complex and the town is just slapstick gold, that has nothing to envy the good old works of Buster Keaton, just by looking at the actors you can tell that they had a better time doing this than the first movie.
