Pleasant and amusing Spanish comedy , being efficiently directed by expert comedian director Fernando Colomo . This comedy contains disconcerting situations , humor , entertainment , romance and including brief nudism . This is a slightly funny film with entertaining events , giggles , amusement and touching scenes at its final part . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind, and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few embarrassing with plenty of absurdities and implausibilities . This is an unusual Colomo movie , this is a different comedy who does not have the content or significance of other Fernando Colomo movies such as ¨Linea Del Cielo¨ , ¨Efecto Mariposa¨ , ¨Al Sur de Granada¨and ¨Los Años Barbaros¨, but resulting to be a simple and plain entertainment . Stars Paco León who is pretty fine as a former CEO who lost everything, including his records due to his stormy past and Carmen Machi is very likeable as his cleaner mother , both of them test their dancing skills . There're also some charming musical numbers from Las Mamis ("The Mommies") , the musical group formed by Virginia/Carmen Machi and friends, along with Fidel/Paco León who show fun and spectacular choreographic spectacle and even participating in the TV talent show presented by Manel Fuentes.
