A lousy and ridiculous comedy about young girls who on a bachelorette party are looking for beach fun in the Canary Islands.
ma-cortes29 February 2024
The picture contains silly incidents, tongue-in-cheek, grotesque situations and above all , humor. Dealing with a group of girls take a trip to celebrate a bachelorette party, during which they will rediscover themselves. The group of 27-year-old friends and a young gay man do not have the life they expected to have when they were dreamy teenagers. Nora (Natalia de Molina) is almost 30 and her life is a mess. She shares an apartment with a friend, she has no job, and her blog is not working. But now her best friend Gisela (Celia de Molina) is getting married and Nora must organize a great bachelorette party for her in Gran Canaria. This is chance for her and her gang of crazy, happy friends to change their lives. Nora and Gisela join with Marta (Úrsula Corberó), Tania (María Hervás) and Mateo (Brays Efe), all of them go to Maspalomas (Gran Canaria).

The film aims to be a crazy comedy aimed at a twenty-something audience, with a festive, uninhibited tone, with sexual humor in dating and friendship situations; but the jokes don't work, turning out to be vulgar and simple. Dirty humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with numerous naughty and picaresque situations such as sex jokes, bad taste and adult scenes , abounding sexual references. Neither the actors nor the directing is good, and the story is totally absurd, though there're a brief laughs some times in the film. The film is horrible, but the fact is that it is also slighly funny. The characters are nothing more than stereotypes, clichés, with unbelievable performances that are not helped by an unspeakable plot. Concerning the unfortunate lives of some youngsters, but they do not surrender to the harsh reality and decide to organize an unforgettable bachelorette party for Gisela, the most responsible of the group. They decide to spend the two wildest days of their lives ready to prove that their friendship can do anything. Most critics refer to ¨The Hangover¨as the film it tries to imitate, but I would allude to ¨American pie¨and sequels in which youngsters often wishing and talking about sex, or the Spanish films as ¨Fin de curso¨ (2005), ¨Locos por el sexo¨ (2006) ó ¨Slam¨(2003)

A silly and inferior comedy full of bad taste, swearing and constantly talking about sex. It's a nasty comedy in a bad style with young girls only thinking about sex, partying and making love. It's really not a very exemplary comedy, let's say, I miss the films of Fernando Esteso and Andrés Pajares that, although they are also full of bad taste, nudism and vulgar situations, at least you had fun. A total hooligan comedy, which if anything would be saved would be the leading actresses, most of whom would develop interesting careers in both film and television.

Manuela Moreno debuts lousily and absurdidly as a director and screenwriter of feature films and this nutty comedy stars a cast of known actresses but it results in a film garbage . Rating: 2.5/10. Bottom of barrel.

Stay away from this

Not even a small chance, run away from this movie, it would be impossible to make a worst copy of The Hangover.

A group of girls travel to tourist island to celebrate a bachelor party and every predictable unfunny thing that could happen just do happens.

The writers didn't even try to take distance from The Hangover, some of the jokes are just tanslated, there is even a character losing a teeth...

This does not represents Spanish comedy at all, there are some interesting movies to watch but not this one.

Sorry for my English.
