But it was fun anyway. Good acting by the kids and mr. Segura is the ace of the spades. Spanish spanish is like ''il tempo gigante'' on grand turbo, they spray their verbals like a tommygun, and im always limping half a line behind having to read english cc's but this was a funny movie for sure, could actually work in hollywood too or was it vice versa.

Habla espanole?? Do have a look with your kids is the grumpy old mans advice.

Unfunny, bad acting, cliche

I was really expecting this film to be a laugh.... and now 3 days after watching I am still waiting. The children's acting is mostly appaling, they seem so unnatural like they are reading their lines - and they are not very good at reading. The entire time you get the feeling that the jokes are forced and shoved up your ass and, whether you like it or not, it's time to laugh. It could only be made worse by adding artificial laughter such as happened in the 80s sitcoms. Really, really, terrible.

Fun movie

I enjoyed this movie. It's not high drama by any means, but the kids are adorable and can act very well for the most part, and the plot is enjoyable. A fun 1 1/2 hours spent :)

Very well done.

A Spanish family comedy. An interesting sequel to "Mommy went on a trip" that famous Argentine movie. It is about the family that must now organize themselves because they will be left without their mother's help due to a high-risk pregnancy, bringing their mother-in-law home. Quality. Entertaining Wholesale jokes and sarcasms. The perfectly delineated characters of the first installment. Performances well, especially the children, only the character of the mother looks a bit forced. It is about the family, supporting us and expressing in a fun way the situations that happen in it, showing that a little love is what is needed in them. It even uses the formula of what was once "Cheaper by the dozen." It leaves the window open for a third installment. An extraordinary option.

Love...

As good as the first, the children's performance is incredible, the script is agile, it doesn't miss a joke, but everything tastes good and fun, it could easily turn into a series, what a delight to watch, I already want the 3...
