Reception
Al Goodman of The International Herald Tribune found the joy of the film in "a fast start, some genuinely funny vignettes and the mastery of leading actor Jorge Perugorría", citing otherwise as the element dragging down the film a "weak script that slips into a trite ending".[2]
Luis Martínez of El País wrote that "without complications and with cleanliness, the director achieves a piece that, if not rounded, at least rolls, which is what matters".[6]
