I've been watching a couple Mexican movies lately and I happen to stumble upon the trailer of Cásese Quien Pueda on youtube and became interested in watching it even though the trailer gave away some of the cheesy acting in the film but I decided to give it a try since I recognized some of the actors in the film and seemed like it would be entertaining.
However, it was very disappointing, I have to agree with the other two reviews here. I was very hard to watch because there was a lot of bad acting and overreacting, specially from the main character Ana (Martha Higareda) but all characters overall were cheesy and unbelievable. The only character that was believable in the entire film probably was Erik as portrayed by the Argentinean actor Michel Brown. The overall script needed a lot of improvement, it rather seemed like they started with a good idea but couldn't craft the script quite yet, it lacks unity but more importantly versatility. There are some very unbelievable moments that are incoherent and seem like the filmmakers threw them in there because they didn't know how to continue the film, or they didn't have a better way to put it in context.
However, like I said, it still managed to entertain me a little bit and made me smile from time to time, but the overall quality of the storytelling is quite disappointing. But the number one thing that really hurts it is the bad acting and the bad script. But if you can get over the fact of the exaggerated/theater-like acting then you should find it at least somewhat entertaining.
These actors need to understand that acting for film is not the same as acting for telenovelas.
