If Ricardo Darín is your kind of actor, this movie is a must see. Fulfilling and simple but really moving...watch the sky before proposing to somebody!

It features a nice production, good acting -- Darín is always a joy, even when he's mad --, and everything else that the latin market requires. In a way, it feels like a Hollywood film made in Argentina. Nothing more, nothing less.

Mais uma sessão do curso Psicologia e Cinema e novamente a discussão posterior foi mais proveitosa discutindo Bauman, Giddens e Baudrillard do que o filme em si.

Not that good. Although it has an interesting premise, and Ricardo Darin gives an amazing performance (as always), his character is just too much of an asshole for me to handle. Don’t get me wrong, he has plenty of funny moments, but a lot of the time I just wanted to slap him. SPOILER The tragic “parents death and Malvinas veteran” isn’t enough to compensate.

Touching history of a lost immigrant showing that even without speaking the same language, the hearts can stay close.

This is a funny movie. The main character is an incredibly grumpy person who's life is changed by meeting and trying to help a Chinese man lost in the city. I truly enjoyed watching it; I especially loved the twist at the end, it is something that is so outrageous and unbelievable, the best part is that the whole thing although fiction, is based on a true news story.

Sheer professionalism turns an unlikely plot into a pretty funny and sweet winner dramedy. Impressive.
