The film seeks to celebrate Cantinflas' career by emphasizing his humorous and acting skills, his innate ability for improvisation and his dedication to his work. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 7, 2022

This is a movie that's OK, but could've been great. [Full review in Spanish]

Cantinflas would not stand out at all withtin the biopic genre if not for scar Jaenada's acting. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 5, 2016

This take on Moreno's life is simple and superficial, with on the nose dialogue, and gestures and looks that over explain everything. [Full review in Spanish]

Sebastian del Amo's Cantinflas manages to recapture what made the popular Mexican actor so great. [Full review in Spanish]

| Apr 4, 2016

For Del Amo, showing us what made Cantinflas work so well for the Mexican and international audiences is not what matters, what matter is him winning a Golden Globe for one of his lesser roles. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie stands on the surprising performance by Spanish actor scar Jaenada, very far from mere imitation. [Full review in Spanish]

| Apr 4, 2016

While mostly delightful, yet not terribly insightful, Cantinflas is a warm and nostalgic look at the business of show.

It's fun, cool and certainly will make money in the box office, but Cantinflas is never explored... and we at least deserve that. [Full review in Spanish]

Del Amo never really captures the full scale of the man Mario Moreno was. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 28, 2015

More interested in being emotionally tru than just settling for the conventional biopic tropes. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 28, 2015

Feels like a bad cartoon of the real Cantinflas. [Full review in Spanish]

| Aug 28, 2015

Showbiz tale about legendary Mexican actor is mostly tame.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2014

To the uninitiated, such as myself, apart from the familiar landmarks of a career's trajectory, a lot of what is going on is too lightly sketched.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 4, 2014

Cantinflas wears viewers down with earnest hero worship.

| Sep 4, 2014

A big disappointment, a disjointed mess that tries to create a point-counterpoint narrative with these two savvy showmen, which inevitably tips the scales in favoring one of them.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 3, 2014

You're left with that empty feeling of a surface barely scratched, when the legend that was Cantinflas deserves much more.

| Aug 28, 2014

While a substantial number of scenes are heavy-handed, the actor who plays Cantinflas- scar Jaenada - is a standout.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 28, 2014
