3/5

How to Be a Latin Lover is rude, randy (particularly among the older women), and heartwarmingly cute. As one of the gigolos says, "Once you lower your expectations, the sky's the limit. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter May 1, 2017

OK, so it will never be mistaken for vintage Pedro Almodovar or Bigas Luna, but the feel-good satire How to Be a Latin Lover nevertheless gives you less cause to be a hater than you might have expected. Go to Full Review Claudia Puig TheWrap Apr 28, 2017

Derbez brings warmth and intermittent goofy humor to this too-broad and uneven comedy. The best moments are between him and co-stars Salma Hayek and young Raphael Alejandro, who both have an easy chemistry with Derbez. Go to Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review May 6, 2020

How to Be A Latin Lover feels like an attempt to tick every box on a demographic chart, and in the process of attempting to please everyone, it short changes so much. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Oct 30, 2019

How To Be A Latin Lover is absolutely hilarious, standing firmly on its comedy legs but with a story and film as a whole elevated by the warmth and charm of Eugenio Derbez. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net Mar 11, 2019

See more Gayle P @RT70331530 Sep 2, 2025 This movie was hysterical. We laughed so hard, and had so much fun, we still talk about it today. It’s hard to find a funny, clean movie that you can walk out of the theater with a smile on your face and have good memories about. It’s not trying to solve any great world problems or make some profound statement., it’s just funny. We loved the actors. So if you want something funny and entertaining., I highly recommend this movie.

Maximo (Derbez) desde de criança sonha alto, em viver uma vida regrada de benefícios, principalmente após a morte de seu pai. E assim ele arma uma estratégia, casando com uma coroa cheio da grana, e assim o faz. E se distancia de sua família. Após 25 anos de vida de rei a velhota o troca por outro dondoco. E assim com uma mão na frente e outro atrás. Assim o único lugar que resta é a sua irmã. E lavando a roupa suja ele passa a morar lá. E ele arma um outro plano para voltar a ter a mesma vida. Mas para isso precisa do sobrinho. E assim esta aramada toda salada. Com boas interpretações dos atores, elevam a qualidade desta comédia. Roteiro e enredo um trabalho inteligente e eficaz. Vale apena assistir? Sim. Com certeza. Nota: 8 See more Rebecca K @CindyBeachTree Jun 29, 2024 I found out about the movie after becoming a big fan of Acapulco. What an absolutely delightful romp. This will definitely be joining our go-to comedy movies. It was fantastic! See more Null @ChefPepperJack Apr 15, 2024 It was a heartfelt comedy. Had moments that had me laughing and there really isn't anything bad about it, but it isn't anything groundbreaking. Mostly predictable, but a fun watch. See more Read all reviews
