"Miss Tacuarembó" is a summer flick for children. If you bear that in mind maybe you can enjoy - or at least overlook - the formulaic storyline, the overdone acting, the really lame jokes and the bad singing of a cast largely comprised by children. It's a Rio de la Plata equivalent of Xuxa or Os Trapalhōes from Brazil, or Hanna Montana for that matter. I didn't notice anything particularly brilliant about the lighting or the alleged Hollywood values. I will admit the songs are somewhat catchy and will please the kids. It conveys a message of tolerance that is welcome, and two of the actors made it big in Argentina in a good-humored, wildly successful soap that dealt with homosexuality. That said, I can't imagine anyone over 10 being engrossed and entertained by this movie.
