It looks interesting to me, is this supposed to be a comedy? He's famous for "La Familia PeLuche" so that's why I ask. Has anyone seen it?

EPlay · 01-09-2014, 12:57 AM

Yes, I saw it theatrically.

It's a heart-tugging comedy with a lot of broad physical humor. It was OK, but I expected more knowing how well it did.

Yes. Saw it when Fox11 in L.A. promoted it. The host held a copy with a slip.

I saw it, laughed throughout the whole. movie since i knew about alot of refrences that were displayed on screen. As well as Ive been a fan of derbez since i was five. Its a very funny/drama that hits the right notes. For 16.99 at release day at Target & best buy on bluray, its a good de for those interested

Yes! All the copies I've seen at different stores had the slips

Jman76 · 01-26-2014, 05:31 AM

I hope it drops to $12.99-$14.99 soon, then I'll pick it up!

Watched it a while ago. Glad I rented it. Although there were a couple of funny moments, I felt as if there were too many "funny" scenes that dragged out. It completely took me out of the movie. It's as if they were trying too hard. Horrible acting from the supporting cast. Some of the dubbing was poorly done as well. I caught of few moments where dialogue was present but with their mouths closed. And the ending was too dramatic. They were laying it on real thick to the point of ridiculousness. Just didn't do it for me.

chris_sc77 · 01-26-2014, 07:26 AM

This started off really good but the last act got really bad. Worth a watch but definitely not a purchase.
I do think the star/director is very talented and will be on the lookout for what he does next.

Leonidas King · 01-23-2014, 01:51 AM

Saw this the other day and thought it was horrible. There was a lot of bad acting from supporting characters. And that ending was just plain dramatic. Felt like watching a Mexican soap opera for about 2 hours.

Instructions Not Included Blu-ray Review

JenSilvas79 · 01-24-2014, 02:35 AM

Funny how the reviewer gave it 2.5 stars and then "Recommended" it

With the caveats expressed in this review duly noted, and for those who don't mind a somewhat uneasy mix of slapstick and melodrama, Instructions Not Included comes Recommended.

ssjgoku90501 · 01-25-2014, 01:38 AM

Saw the bluray today and i enjoyed the movie just like i did in the theaters. Does it have some flaws? Yeah. Does it have a shift in tone? Depends if that bothers you. The movie markets itself as a family comedy when in reality is a Dramedy. When its funny, its funny and when its serious well its believable. The acting is pretty good, but i feel you really need to know some of the refrences the jokes are aiming at. Thats why i feel that the movie will lose some pacing. Either than that the movie ientertain you fron start to finish and i was never bored. Rent it first as it is spanish for most of the movie

Really enjoyed watching it and it felt heartwarming, even moreso since it was my first "real" Mexican film that I'd seen. Aside from Mexican slangs/words, I understood their Spanish (normally, I watch Spanish content from Spain instead).

Now, usually it's men who leave behind their sons and daughters than women, but in this movie it was the opposite gender and it worked very well to show that either can be just as bad.

Everyone should watch it (even if they hate subtitles).
