This entertaining crossover vehicle for Mexican star Jaime Camil sets a familiar love story to a mariachi beat.
Top CriticServing mostly as a strong calling card for star Jaime Camil, the film has an appealingly loose, slightly ramshackle charm.
This bilingual romantic comedy is overly long and has a paper-thin plot, but it's too sweet-natured to dislike.
Subtlety and surprise are thrown out the window in this far-fetched Mexican romantic comedy.
Ultimately, the film is absolutely charming if a bit too predictable and glued more to sit-com narrative strategies and aesthetics than is healthy. Still, Pulling Strings works on a number of levels.
Every bit as bad as most Hollywood romantic comedies.
Cute Mexico City mariachi-flavored romance hampered by a tepid story and weak chemistry between the leads.
