Amusing , funny and very cheerful film filled with action-packed , thrills , hilarious set-pieces, tongue in cheek and lots of humor .The premise is simple and plain , as a misfit , botcher team from various Spanish local police forces are called , reunited and trained to undertake hard and secret missions . Director delivers a good work , his knack of getting the most out of characters and situations without ever going over the top makes for some very big laughs . This production pays tribute to several films , taking parts here and there , such as Mission Impossible , Men In Black , James Bond films with a "Q" lookalike role played by Pepa Aniorte , including multitude of gadgets , and , of course, "Academy Police" movies . The jokes come as thick and fast , hit and miss as usual and it is done in good spirit if not always in good taste . Nice picture with accent on sight gags , and humour that stems from the diverting roles established in other movies . The sympathetic cast formed by the motley band of misfits gives fun interpretation creating confusion , laughs and mayhem with their diverse languages or dialects . As Maria Leon as Lola , the Andalucian Civil Guard who preserves peace and order in the special team; Miki Esparbe plays Santi as the agent mobility who falls for Lola ; Juan Carlos Aduviri as a Basque gay cop and special mention for Andoni Agirre as the Ecuatorian legion soldier with strong Nationalist tendency providing a lot of laughter .
