Alvaro knows how to make fun of social issues, August 9, 2005
This review is from: Destiny Has No Favorites (DVD)
you have to understand the Latin soap opera culture and not being part
of the typical soap opera viewers to be able to fully enjoy this movie.
Alvaro's sarcasm and sense of humor makes this film to be the first of
its class in Peru. A soap opera being filmed in a family house, the
maids (already involved in the show) get involved as part of the
cast, and eventually the home owner will get involved with the filming
and with the director as well. Very good acting and direction, i'm sure
the next one will be as fun as the first of Alvaro's work...

Lighthearted and Clever, October 17, 2010
This review is from: Destiny Has No Favorites (DVD)
A set of a Latin telenovela serves as a container for the absudity of the lives and dramas of the actors. It has a film-school satire visual feel that is refreshing and there several precious lines and hilarious situations. Tatiana Astengo plays a cute as a button naive maid and steals the show in my opinion.
Spanish with optional English subtitles.

Good movie, but, falls short at the end, February 6, 2010
This review is from: Destiny Has No Favorites (DVD)
Initially, I bought this movie because the plot looks interesting: A bored woman finds some excitement in her life by becoming the leading lady of a "soap opera", filmed next door. But, at the end, the movie goes slow and annoying. And, you get lost at the end, and ask yourself: What???
