How to Be A Latin Lover feels like an attempt to tick every box on a demographic chart, and in the process of attempting to please everyone, it short changes so much.

How To Be A Latin Lover is absolutely hilarious, standing firmly on its comedy legs but with a story and film as a whole elevated by the warmth and charm of Eugenio Derbez.

It's definitely on an Adam Sandler level of humor.

Films like this, for more records that they break, respect, dignity and creative openness, diminish us more than what they bring us. [Full Review in Spanish]

By no means will this become a cult comedy classic, but it's an amusing diversion that's much better than it should be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2018

The result is stupid, self-conscious, but stupid after all. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/10 | Jun 30, 2017

It will be enjoyable to Eugenio Derbez fans but puts a rope around the Mexican comedian, about if he will dare once and for all to empty his talent into something more risky. [Full review in Spanish]

A horrible mess full of clichs and jokes that feel worn, despite the efforts of Eugenio Derbez to make them work. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/10 | May 17, 2017

A film that aims to offer escapism and reaffirmation to Latinos in the United States, but instead reinforces harmful stereotypes. [Full review in Spanish]

How to Be a Latin Lover reads like a watered-down version of something frequent Marino collaborator David Wain might have done. Very watered-down. Like five parts Wain to fifteen parts water. Which is better than I expected, if less than I wanted.

Eventually, the premise weakens and the humor rests on the tortilla slaps that Hayek gives to Derbez. How to be a Latin Lover doesn't meet the expectations. [Full review in Spanish]

A film about the importance of family ties made with good intentions but with a limited technique. [Full review in Spanish]

How to Be a Latin Lover can be seedy, but it's a lot sweeter than you might expect.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 4, 2017

OK, so it will never be mistaken for vintage Pedro Almodovar or Bigas Luna, but the feel-good satire How to Be a Latin Lover nevertheless gives you less cause to be a hater than you might have expected.

How to make a lousy comedy

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 28, 2017

Derbez brings warmth and intermittent goofy humor to this too-broad and uneven comedy. The best moments are between him and co-stars Salma Hayek and young Raphael Alejandro, who both have an easy chemistry with Derbez.

Surprisingly deft in mixing Mr. Derbez's broad but accomplished style with more ostensibly hip-absurdist Anglo modes of humor.

Its humor is broad, but most of the jokes work for the intended audience - with a few even breaking through to more resistant viewers.
