What a great ride!
19 May 2023
From Spain comes a fun time travel movie. A family vacation goes awry when most of the family is jolted 30 years into the future.

The actors are so well matched to the characters, and the characters are just great. The action is fast and funny. Very funny. And the story is touching too, as mom and dad try to solve the mystery of what happened to their daughter years ago, and endeavor to change history.

The missing daughter's brother is very funny too.

They carry a certain innocence from 1991 to a much slicker and technologically advanced 2022 . This leaves plenty of room for the comedy, which fits so smoothly into the plot.

It's touching, too, and I admit to getting a little verklempt here and there, as people do their best to make things right.

There wasn't a dull moment in this film.

(Speaking of time travel) I was reminded by the humor of Pedro Almodóvar's 1988 "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.")

Such an enjoyable movie! A rollicking and exciting ride across the decades.
