I have not seen worse acting in a Mexican movie in a long, long time, and believe me, it can be quite bad already. I think it was supposed to be farcical but this is not achieved either. The jokes are so bad that they use musical notes to point out that it is supposed to be funny (so you know), with desperate intents to make the audience laugh without making it. Actually yes, there was one time when I laughed. One of the girls breaks in a wedding, and someone tells to the bride "calm down" when the actress that plays the bride is actually quite relaxed and laughing (although she was supposed to be crying since someone was ruining her wedding). As much as everyone is telling her to calm down, she is checking everything but her wedding getting ruined. So, in other words, I laughed at the terrible acting... but not at one single joke. The argument sucks (sad but true), and (again) although it is supposed to be a comedy it is so stupid and surreal that you even get mad of the idea of someone thinking you are stupid enough to laugh about something like that. The main character (a bride to be) gets her heart broken just when she is trying her wedding dress in the store and for some stupid reason instead of cutting it to pieces, giving it back to the store, or anything, decides to wear it back home, because on the next scene, she is crying with her sister I think, at home, obviously, still wearing the darn dress, and then driving... and on and on... No budget to make her wear anything else? Even lingerie? It is not worth whatsoever. The characters (as usual in Mexican cinema) are more than stupid, and instead of feeling sympathy or empathy for them, or enjoying watching the film, you actually feel disgusted. With terribly exaggerated gestures, moves and everything. To make the story sadder, as far as I understood, this movie was one of the most viewed when it was in theaters in Mexico in 2014.
