I have a tough time with this actor in general before this film, to be honest, in Latin lover, I just could not stand him; it is just how it works, this film could never work if not done by him; he is like Stallone on this film, You remember those critics on Rocky 1 that said that Stallone dint act at all? It's similar with Eugenio Derbez on this film, he is just showing us how he lived parenthood, those intricate details that he lived with his kids out in the open for us to see, and that is why it works, because most actors would never act those details into a film, heck if he was not the director I doubt he would have been able to do so, that is why I focused on saying that.

You are not wrong on that comment, he is not a great actor, in fact, in this film he rarely acts at all, but it still shines because he does something weird, showing us the nature of parenthood he got to live, and the one he got to do, and that is why I love this film.
