Watch Cantinflas For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's hard to say this exceeded expectations because I didn't know what to expect, but I was drawn to it on the strength of Mario Moreno. I was curious to see what the film did with his person and with his fame. It's a beautifully crafted story, and intertwining it with Todd's "hustling" to get "Around the World in 80 Days" to happen helps to bring out how Mr. Moreno's fame had gone beyond Mexico to where he was the figure who brought the production to the screen for Todd. Moreno's rise from obscurity to international fame is told in a finely crafted way. Oscar Jaenada is nothing less than brilliant as Mario Moreno the person, and Mario Moreno as the character of "Cantinflas." The entire cast is very well put together. The film has no weak spots. I grew up watching Cantinflas movies. This film does not disappoint - and it's no small feat. Trying to paint a screen portrait of Mario Moreno as other than a sequential narrative is a big undertaking. The story, the cinematography, the acting - all of a very high caliber.

First of all a Spaniard as Cantinflas? Yes he makes a good character, but I don't think he has the feeling and he the love for Mexico for live the character, Second Ximena Rubio as Maria Feliz, she doesn't have the beauty and the actitude to represent Mexicos diva, Bracho as Jorge Negrete? El Charro Cantor was a really handsome macho great tenor singer and a charro representative, nothing to do with that big nose awful man, Adal ramones as Mantequilla? That man has nothing to do with mantequilla's charm, he has nothing to do with him Adal is so egocentric and that you can feel in his acting, Ana Layevsca as Miroslava? Ana is nothing that a blond washable bimbo Miroslava was a beautiful woman. And for the rest of the actors, there are some good, some not so good.

Labeled as the "Charlie Chaplin of Mexico" and once called the greatest comedian alive by none other than the little tramp himself, Charlie Chaplin, Cantinflas was a improvisational comedic tour de force. If you consider yourself Mexican/Mexican American, or you simply wanna get to know the Mexican cinematic genius, Mario Moreno a.k.a.Cantinflas, (the unparalleled Shakespearean word playing tramp from Mexico) you are obligated to watch this film! I had my doubts about a Spanish actor being cast as one of our most iconic Mexican figures, but justice has been done to this endearing personality.The Performance and execution are spot on as Señor Mario Moreno. Well as the cliché goes,Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, pos "ahí esta el detalle!"

I simply enjoyed this film, I grew up watching his movies with my parents at our hometown drive-theater. Even at young age, I truly appreciated his sense of humor and comedy approach to many delicate subjects. Oscar Jaenada (though many of my peers don't agree) did a beautiful performance! This film was long over do! Congrats to all who put this project together and showed us the the person behind the movies. I have to add, my parents were truly moved by the performance and his early beginnings, a story they thought they knew. A true homage to Mario Moreno and his legacy. Looking forward to more performance from Oscar Jaenada.
