jiggle fest screwball comedy
13 January 2017
Thomas Fuentes (Eduardo Verástegui) has been adored by women all his life. He's in Los Angeles with girlfriends stashed around the country. Lorena Morales (Roselyn Sanchez) is a bespectacled high-powered Chicago lawyer. Cici (Sofía Vergara) is a possessive cocktail waitress in Miami. Patricia Sofia Ordonez Coronado del Pescador (Jaci Velasquez) is a high maintenance debutante from the New York area. Thomas is feeling the relationship pressures and is passing out. The girls all decide to travel to surprise him in L.A. They are shocked to find each other at his house. FBI agent Carmen Rivera (Lisa Vidal) has followed Cici who is driving a car for her friend's boyfriend.

It's a broad jiggle-fest latino screwball comedy. It fails to deliver any compelling characters. The actresses are top level latina hotties but they come off as one-dimensional soap opera characters. The guy is even worst. He's a hunky dud. He's pretty to look at but empty inside. If the intention is a T&A B-movie, this can be excused. It's supposed to be a comedy and that's not going to work. The characters are annoying. The situations are silly. There is nothing funny or fun. It's a sad waste of talent and too tiresome to watch.
