When the curtain raises, Three close friends Roman, Andrade and Paco who recently lost their jobs reuniting at Paco's home to go for a match on Andrade's car, since Andrade's car got broken down, they want to spend their day in Paco's home. What happens next is the plot. Roman was elder than the other two, hence showing expression towards a comedy was matured and we will laugh when he gives a sneering look on the other two when they did something. Paco was a short temper guy who will easily get angry if his plan goes wrong. Andrade is pity among them all. The Movie was taken inside the home, Cinematography has done a great work. The last twenty minutes of the movie were unexpected and nail-biting. The acting of the three was splendid, Roman's character portrayal, the end was meticulous. The way the expression was given by the three was punctilious. Overall, the spectators will be confused about the plot and the name of the movie, but it will gives us the importance of friendship and a strong message on gender equality and masculinity (That is the plan of the director) Likes and Dislikes The screenplay was draggy at first but went interested in the last 20 mins. Message on how unemployment changes one's life was explained very clearly if he is emotionally weak. The acting was engrossing. The humor in the movie was good which goes passably but the expressions will surely make us to laugh.

That never found jesus, because their mobilephones were dead, due to lack of money, due to out of work, and as much as they try to get out to find work and cellsignal they dont have a car that works. they have all got wifes that treats them as they were stray dogs and due to psychoanalytical gifts at minor level they try to find out how to solve the blurry of a life when loosing work after 50 years of age... its a slow and boring socialrealistic film and if you are looking for comedy, there are nonsoever. its a 1 location scenario, cant have cost more to make than the mens empty wallets, and a pretty mediocre drama with overfilled dialouges like the director waves a gun shouting ''venga venga'', just like when my wife and her girlfriends occupy my house for their monthly gettogether, we call it ''klubb/forening'' here in norway, were everything from a to æøå, are on the agenda. so a male klubb of men at standstill, not an unusual sight of working men in spain, but its shows the strains of unemployment. its an anticlimax of male menopause, and nothing more than empty words and thats about it, and smoking weed and drinking beer at 9.35 am . it doesnt deserve a recommend thinks the grumpy old man

Sauce

Good movie!
