Get Married If You Can (2014)

Why so much hype?

Really Surprised!

The acting in this movie is really good.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Everything about this movie is ridiculous, cheesy, fake, exaggerated and cringeworthy. It is really shameful that people gave money for this movie to be make. And the scenes that portray Yucatán... ugh I can't even as a native...

This movie is 100% cliche, over-done plot lines and characters. I was surprised that people with the means to make a movie would bother with such simplistic, stereotyped content. AND YET, it somehow managed to cheer me up. In fact, I saw the movie two years ago, and now I'm trying to track it down again, looking for a fun movie for a pre-teen Spanish girl. I remembered two themes from the movie: 1) A young woman chooses between a shallow-glamorous marriage and her chosen career in science. 2) A young couple finds romance together after years of respecting the boundaries of friendship. Both of these are great themes for younger girls. And the simplicity of the plot and characters allows that age group to contemplate life without confusion and drama. I actually can't remember if the entire movie is age-appropriate for adolescents. But if it is, I'd say it's better that many of the Disney movies, with their steep sexual innuendos.

I have not seen worse acting in a Mexican movie in a long, long time, and believe me, it can be quite bad already. I think it was supposed to be farcical but this is not achieved either. The jokes are so bad that they use musical notes to point out that it is supposed to be funny (so you know), with desperate intents to make the audience laugh without making it. Actually yes, there was one time when I laughed. One of the girls breaks in a wedding, and someone tells to the bride "calm down" when the actress that plays the bride is actually quite relaxed and laughing (although she was supposed to be crying since someone was ruining her wedding). As much as everyone is telling her to calm down, she is checking everything but her wedding getting ruined. So, in other words, I laughed at the terrible acting... but not at one single joke. The argument sucks (sad but true), and (again) although it is supposed to be a comedy it is so stupid and surreal that you even get mad of the idea of someone thinking you are stupid enough to laugh about something like that. The main character (a bride to be) gets her heart broken just when she is trying her wedding dress in the store and for some stupid reason instead of cutting it to pieces, giving it back to the store, or anything, decides to wear it back home, because on the next scene, she is crying with her sister I think, at home, obviously, still wearing the darn dress, and then driving... and on and on... No budget to make her wear anything else? Even lingerie? It is not worth whatsoever. The characters (as usual in Mexican cinema) are more than stupid, and instead of feeling sympathy or empathy for them, or enjoying watching the film, you actually feel disgusted. With terribly exaggerated gestures, moves and everything. To make the story sadder, as far as I understood, this movie was one of the most viewed when it was in theaters in Mexico in 2014.

Horrible film, it's lame I feel ashamed of Mexican film industry. I could not keep watching it for more than 15 minutes. Has a lousy script, hollow, zero creativity, no wit whatsoever. Dismal performances and direction, could not believe it that nowadays Mexico continues to do mostly bad movies. It seems that if Gael, Luna, or the Bichir brothers are not in the movie they just can't do something worth to watch, not even a good story. I do not understand how it is that cinema's golden age was of such quality stories and movies you can watch over and over again and remain valid over time and most movies today are so bad. Take for example the remake of "Hasta el viento tiene miedo" also with Higadera and awful as hell with a really stupid script. Crappy movie.
