"Malta con Huevo" is one of those movies you can really enjoy when certain aspects are ignored. Like a lot of other chilean movies, it does not take itself seriously because it knows that otherwise something could mess up. But anyway, it definitely went over my expectations with some really original elements.
The movie is really funny at times, but in general it has a fast pacing which doesn't make it any boring and let's you ignore some less-polished aspects of the film. Still, I wouldn't recommend it to someone outside Chile, due to the local jargon and the type of humor. I could be wrong, but there are definitely other much-better chilean movies out there.
Anyway, if you're looking for an effective, light comedy, this is a good one. The acting is fine, the actors play just fine in a setting which doesn't make much sense and everyone seems to be a little crazy. This isn't bad at all- the mess in everything makes it even more fun. However, don't try to make a serious cinematic appreciation of this film while watching it or you will spoil it.
