You pretty much get what you expect. So don't be a dreamer – like me – and entertain the hope that the creators have given us anything above standard. If you do you will – like me – be disappointed. The actors don't have much charisma either, and funny scenes are few and far between... in the end the best the entire film has to offer is the playlist. (11.08.2022)

A decent feel-good dramedy that's worth watching for its slightly different approach to the material. The main character is left at the altar by his bride and, since his honeymoon is paid for and cannot be cancelled, he spends it with his mother in the wonderfully exotic Mauritius. There are a few funny scenes, mainly thanks to the mother (who is more of a grandmother now), but there is certainly no big load of gags, it's more of an enjoyable summer comedy about the relationship between a son and his mother in an attractive setting, which comes up with some interesting ideas, which can be appreciated. The two hours passed quickly, the film certainly won't offend anyone, but at the same time I wasn't too impressed, I missed a strong funny character to spice it up. Still a strong 3 stars. 6/10 (02.05.2022)

I discovered my love for Spanish cinema quite some time ago. Spanish humor resonates with me, making their comedies a real treat. However, every now and then, I stumble upon an exception, as was the case here. I was anticipating a wild, hilarious story with impeccable dialogue, much like what I experienced in Toc Toc (2017), but unfortunately, that didn't happen. The humor, for some reason, just didn't land for me, and it felt like the creators were more focused on genuine human values rather than delivering laughs. The most disappointing aspect was that I found myself bored at times. / Lesson learned: When you're a loser, try not to pass it on to others. (29.05.2022)
