Horrible movie.
me-5157212 August 2019
Bad acting, bad editing, bad casting, crappy story that tries too hard. It moves as slow and uncoordinated as the old man with the hairpiece. Predictable. Some movies fit the same description and still entertain... not this one.

How old the writer is?
tomokoi4 September 2017
First, I have never been to Acapulco. I always wanted to go to Mexico especially Acapulco, so I watched this movie. It was not bad. Three retired old men went to Acapulco together, which three of them did the same thing in their younger days. They are reflecting their younger days at the same place. Mariano wanted to go to Acapulco because he wanted to go for trip together with his friends again and he wanted to see his old girlfriend. Mariano had brain tumor and he had only his life four month left. He wanted to kill himself at the end, but he chose not to do with reflecting his younger days. I wonder how old the screen writer is. I wonder if we reflect younger days so much and want to see our old girlfriends when we are at their life stage. I doubt it. Antolin does not admit how old he is and goes for younger women. To me, his character is more real. I think people do not give up their life so easily no matter how old they get and how sick they are. They hand on things they have and make the best of it even thought it is in vain. So I thought the screenwriter who wrote the story may be still young.

Not great

This movie was not great for the first half and we didn't bother watching the second half but is probably also not great. I mean the lack of greatness was really accentuated by the misleading title I mean we thought it was an accapella movie but clearly we were wrong as there was a suicidal late 60's man in what was originally thought to be an accapella movie, it was a big change of tone. Not only this there was also poor dress sense from another one of the main characters who began to hit on much younger women who were probably young enough to be his granddaughters.

Overall do not recommend
