Combines lecture, farce and soapy sentiment in a single misshapen package.
Top CriticThis dark satire may be hard to watch at times, but its' queasy mix of satire and tough love should be seen for how black comedy can be done outside the U.S.
Family is the truest wealth, insists a strenuous orchestral score, but neither Feldman nor Iglesia seems to buy it, so how can we?
Though it slickly offers up drama, black comedy and enjoyable perfs in due measure, the pic never develops much bite, though it does bare its fangs.
Álex de la Iglesia's film hammers home the opinion that family is more important than celebrity or wealth.
