I felt it to be a very flat movie, no ups or downs. Just a Meh movie.

Or stay that way I reckon. Romantic comedies are a peculiar thing. Even if the work for some, others will hate them with all their heart. So while this isn't close to the best romantic comedy I've seen, it is more than decent enough. With cliches and jokes that may feel forced at times - parents having "sex", accidental transvestite dating and so forth ... the latter may feel insensitive or at least read that way, but your reaction to it will say more than the actual reaction the movie is showing. Handled it quite well considering the subject matter. For a non english movie you feel weird this having an english song being so imprtant. So full of feelings - I smiled and had a tear in my eye. Which obviously was intended - the song is great too of course. Very fine use and the lyrics sort of are fitting too. Just enjoy the madness (not much but the little it has) and the two very different characters that are not fit for each other now are they? But will they be good for each other in the end? Well what do you think? Not giving anything away of course - one thing I will tell: there is some nudity. Which makes sense when you see people sleep with each other ... or just because they like to take their clothes off (who knows?) ... fun little movie that can be enjoyed if you're not too harsh with it (and yourself)

As I have almost seen all the Spanish comedy movies in Netflix, I would say this one is the movie I have enjoyed the most. I have a basic Spanish level but I was still able to understand it--an indicator that they have good acting skills.

"Te Quiero, Imbécil" shows the journey that begins with a man who is out of touch with the ever-evolving relationship climate of the 21st century. The plot takes the form of the cliché loser-to-legendary main character, but this film offers something that I have yet to see in many modern rom-coms. This movie shows a true understanding of how teens in today's world navigate through personal problems and identity crises. This is not your typical speed-dating at a bar rom-com, but instead this film uses the tools of the real world with apps like Tinder and Bumble or a non-copyrighted equivalent, and the movie supplements the way modern couples often meet for the first time with the use of a popular "influencer" who has no stated credentials besides having the "best self-help channel on the internet." The combinations of dating apps and the all-knowing internet in a practical way show the director's understanding of the current climate of the world, and I see the similarities as a college student who watched this movie with his girlfriend. The social climate of the movie also gives a more modern spin on an oversaturated genre by giving a female character who is truly independent and happy without the romantic involvement of the main character. She is not harsh, mean, or any sort of typical Hollywood representation of a male-dependent woman. She is a true representation of of how many navigate the romance world in today's world. The support of a guy-best-friend or girl-best-friend is almost an epidemic with how prevalent it is for one sex to depend on the friendship of someone of the opposite sex while being completely platonic. Again, the development of a fully-written, independent, female character shows the understanding of the current world. While the modern understanding and refreshing take on a rom-com is a huge part of the joy of this movie, a rom-com would not be a rom-com without corny comedy. This movie epitomizes cheap humor and varying levels of forced jokes. The raunchy jokes in this movie come out of left field and sometimes they make you chuckle, shake your head, burst out in laughter, or even frown at how cheap of an attempt it really is. There is no one reaction to expect from the jokes in this movie, as the comedic content is so well varied and paced. The combination of a great comedy, modern visuals and plot, and a tried-and-true plot path allows this movie to serve the exact purpose it seeks to.

The Spanish have a great sense of humour which may seem ridiculous and childish to some. I love you stupid will lift you spirits with lighthearted humour that will appeal to both male and female. Not for those who take life too seriously. A pleasant surprise and great feel good entertainment.

Clear sailing Spanish romcom we all know where the plot is headed. Apart from few unnecessary LGBTQ+ jokes, Laura Mañá taught us that you don't have to look far to find perfect love. Gutiérrez transformed himself into 'alpha male' in quite humorous way.
