Nice light hearted easy watching movie. Quite catching actually. And shows some Argentinian culture, landscapes and Buenos Aires city. Recommended for someone looking for an entertaining movie.

The story is simple... a meteorologist makes a mistake, costly to many people. As he hides from the public humiliation and hate, he ends up addressing other neglected aspects of his life.

It is very well written and acted. Even the few necessary special effects are well done, as is the photography, and and all technical aspects.

It is fun an unpredictable, as one of the elements is fantasy. There isn't much depth, as one should expect from a comedy. Many details in the story make it funny and adds a bit of seriousness and drama -- but only a tiny little bit. All is very lighthearted, even the haters are comical -- but it does not reach the level of a farce.

It is charming and very enjoyable. Could be a family movie, except for the frequent four-letter interjections -- at least in the original Spanish.

Oh boy, this could have been so much more. It tries to be a comedy, it fails. Could be a drama, it fails. Maybe some disaster film? It isn´t. Or maybe it is, regarding quality.

Francella, a once mediocre comedian turn into a very good drama actor during the last fifteen years, it´s totally wasted here. His comedy doesn´t work.

The film starts very weak with tons of horrible characters. Unfunny, uninteresting, and thrown into the mix in such an old way....pure antique stereotypes that are hard to swallow.

The movie gets better during the second and third act, not a great improvement but enough to make this film watchable. Film is also a word that doesn´t fit here. Sometimes it feels like a mediocre TV show.

My rating is 6 only because some decent special effects and the dramatic second act, where I could notice some decent acting. Besides despite some many flaws (some BIG), this film entertains a little bit.

Another/my version of the pros and cons of the movie: Pros:

• nice production/scenarios (nice houses, Buenos Aires, Cordova and the hills of Argentina)
• quite funny dialogs, specially from the main character, who is a pretty good actor
• nice story about job/ego versus family

Cons:

• scientifically inaccurate and absurd, but who cares? Just play along

Good enough to provide a nice time in a Saturday night.

It's an entertaining movie, it's not the best of Francella, but it's good. It is a comedy that seeks to show what social networks are doing to the world in a comical way.

This film was produced for Netflix and Kweller.

I think the best part is the special effects at the end, in general everything is very poor

I can't believe that Nicolas Giacobone was the same one who wrote the script for Biutiful and Birdman, because this story is so poor.

The performances are not good and for the Argentine viewers the crude cameos of the kweller group do not look good (Kutnezoff, Lozano, O donell, Peña, is too much)

A meteorologist famed for his accurate predictions on the news gets his very own show...for one night. Because of an unexpected storm he loses all credibility and gains something much more valuable.

As his error puts his life on the line in Argentina's capital city: Buenos Aites; he goes into hiding in in his hometown, specifically his estranged daughter's place. Here the plot turns into a story of family, forgiveness and not forgetting ones' past, whilst storms rage around him!

Without shoving Climate Crisis down viewers' throats, the film hints at the unpredictability and growing harshness of Mother Nature's ire with the darkest sense of humour Argentina has produced. The heartfelt reconciliation of father and daughter is as short as the storms the film portrays, and not as visually impressive!

Not an Armageddon or a 2012 disaster film, but a lovely finding yourself film with storms in the background.

5/10 why?

The good

• Nice viewings
• Some funny jokes
• Quite entertaining
• Good performance of the cab driver (Peto Menahem) and the meteorologist (Guillermo Francella)

The bad

• Dull plot
• Very long
• Bad special effects
• Quite exaggerated
• Not drama, not quite funny, not moving, what is this?

Those are some thoughs of the movie i came from with, i just recomend turning off your brain an enjoying a movie that is just to spend so time at the sofa.

If you are looking for a fun movie with good jokes, excellent acting and beautiful scenery from Argentina, this movie is well worth a watch. If you are looking for scientific accuracy, you'll be disappointed. Overall it was great entertainment!

It's a light comedy good special effects, it was a surprise Beautiful images of Córdoba City and the Mountains, It is healthy to show other parts of Argentina in the movies.

Summary

It gives the feeling that director Marcos Carnevale put together a supposedly satirical comedy that exhibits the most old-fashioned "costumbrismo" and embarrasses others with a drama about a family reunion, with Guillermo Francella displaying the clichés of Pepe Argento (a popular television character) for much of of the movie.

Review

Miguel Flores (Guillermo Francella) is a popular meteorologist who has never missed a forecast. And he had the dream moment of hosting his own program during prime time. But for the first time, in the premiere broadcast, he fails to predict a hailstorm that hits Buenos Aires that morning, which causes his immediate expulsion from the program and the fury of his (former) admirers, for which he flees to his daughter's house in Córdoba.

Director Marcos Carnevale tries a dramatic comedy, but the patches between comedy and drama are very evident.

In its first installment, it aims to be both ominous and funny. But as a comedy, it exhibits an old-fashioned "costumbrismo" that is more than 20 years old, with accelerated, vociferous and gesticulating characters, in situations that definitely do not cause any grace or at most an uncertain smile and almost always embarrassment. It is a pity that the irony appears in homeopathic doses and the satire and reflection on the media and the fragility and vanity of fame are supinely obvious.

A segment of the film focuses on the reunion of the disgraced meteorologist with his daughter Carla, a pediatrician who lives in the city of Córdoba, who seems to be the only normal human being (or just human) in the film and who has forward Romina Fernandes in a very good performance. The only good thing about the movie lies in the dialogues and the dynamic between the two.

In the case of Carnevale, redemption and the moralistic message could not be absent, in case something could be missing from this film to sink it again in its last third. He even flirts with catastrophe cinema in a way that doesn't even come close to bizarre.

The cast includes a multitude of figures from Argentine cinema and TV, some in cameos or very small roles (and yes, you have to eat), such as Pompeyo Audivert and a beautiful Viviana Saccone as Flores's current partner. The subplot about the taxi driver in charge of Peto Menahem and his family is as expendable as it is pathetic.

Guillermo Francella unfolds the clichés of Pepe Argento (a popular character from an Argentine television sitcom) without blushing for much of the film.

It is interesting to compare the old-fashioned Granizo with the modern and recent comedy Porn and Ice Cream, the Martín Piroyansky series. At least Carnevale should.

Peto is the best actor of the movie.

Francella is being francella in all the scenes.

Exaggerated final.

But will entretain you during a boring day.

The movie seems to move from one direction to the next. And it is kind of hard to predict where it will turn next - no pun intended. It is about a weather man - but the story takes some interesting turns that I did not expect entirely. Maybe you'll do better in the guessing game.

The acting is really good and it is a feel good movie overall. Yes you could think about the repercussions - but you would do a disservice to the movie if you thought too much about it. I think it's nice that there are a lot of red herings ... that you may feel the movie would go one way and then it goes another. You may be annoyed by it - you'll be the judge of that.

All hail the ... king weather man ... although the real guy to thank is anything but a king ...

I think that this movie had everything to explode in the script. Even if it's not the best movie of all time, Ii made me laugh every once in a while. I'm satisfied with the Fx's. It's the first time that I've watched an Argentinian movie with this style. I liked it. There are so many things to improve but this is the way.

It must be comedy movie but I didn't laugh at all. It is super boring and I didn't understand why there is a movie like that. Actually story is so familiar for many reasons but I didn't enjoy. I loved only 2 things : 1) opening song 'felicita' and beautiful Cordoba scenes.. That's all..

Do not waste one minute of your life watching this crap. Represents current mediocre film industry of Argentina. Cannot understand why they produce this crap.

Very funny as always, Franchella as always great, The plot is very funny, it is more like a story, which makes you think of family, friends and faith.

A well-run story with the right balance between drama and comedy about mirages of fame and second chances to rise from the ashes.

Miguel Flores (the always solvent Guillermo Francella) lives absorbed in the vertigo of narcissism derived from his popularity on Argentine open television: he is the favorite meteorologist in Buenos Aires.

He lives disconnected from himself immersed in the character that he has created on TV. People approach him on the streets, take photos with him. His ego is so big that he doesn't realize the fragility of his fame and how it hangs by a thread.

A fatal mistake in his almost always accurate forecast opens his eyes and shows him the reverse of the coin. Here is a great success in the narrative that humorously shows how social networks can be lapidary and bury in an instant the career and reputation of someone built with effort over the years.

It shows the banality of open TV and the utilitarianism with which television stations treat their employees like furniture, discarding them when they no longer serve them.

Disowned and jobless is when he turns to see his origins and rethink his priorities: he returns to his hometown, Córdoba and tries to reconnect with his daughter from whom he has lived far away absorbed in the artificial life he had been working on television .

It is here where the story takes an interesting turn of a man who tries to reinvent himself from humility and learn from his mistakes.

The plot acquires an intimate tone in the reconstruction of the broken relationship with his daughter: two strangers who share the same blood, love each other and seek a way to get closer and rediscover each other from their respective essences.

In the final section there is a certain tone of magical realism in which the meteorologist meets a man from the field who is precise in diagnosing the weather and represents the antithesis of what he was when he was a TV star: a man who does not want spotlights, who he lives a low-key life and that teaches him the value of taking actions for others without expecting anything in return.

A light, funny and deep film at times.

A weatherman, who has never been wrong in his entire career is starting a new job at a station in Buenos Aires. With lots of fanfare, the show kicks off and he calls for clear skies that night. Yet a massive hail storm hits and there is lots of damage. Social media lights him up in outrage and he gets cancelled socially and fired professionally. With nowhere to turn, he retreats to his adult daughter's house where there are some old sore spots with their relationship. Will this influential weather man be able to repairs not only his relationship with his daughter but also his metrologist career? This was a fun little movie with solid acting, decent humor and a creative story with a few entertaining surprises.

NOT FOR EVERYONE

Don't take it serious , its Just a complete ENTERTAINMENT

Argentinean really done well better then Hollywood comedy

Hopefully this likable Argentinean comedy doesn't get buried in Netflix's back catalog. All Hail deserves better.

The storyline is well-written and keeps you engaged from start to finish. The characters are relatable and the acting is top-notch.

The filming locations are also a standout aspect of the movie. The visuals are breathtaking and really add to the overall atmosphere of the film.

Overall, It is a great choice for families looking for a heartwarming and enjoyable film experience. The story is well-crafted and the acting and filming locations are top-notch. I highly recommend giving this movie a watch.

The theme of the movie are universal and will resonate with audiences of all ages. The message of love and acceptance is woven throughout the film and is presented in a way that is both subtle and powerful.

Very good, how the cancellation and climate change can be fatal told in a comical and extremely nice and fun, adorable way... Dramainha in the family DR moment and parental abandonment, sad and beautiful at the same time... The final hail scenes were great, adorable...
