#ScorpioReviews The Valet

The Valet

This movie was full of surprises. Starting with Eugenio Derbez which is one of the best comedians in Mexico. Glad he is having plenty of successful projects in the USA and I'm sure this will be another one. Then it was amazing seeing Carmen Salinas again after her recent passing. R.I.P. Another great Mexican actor and comedian is Armando Hernandez so it was amazing to find him here too. He has appear in many successful Mexican movies and Tv Shows. Also, it's curious but I just finished Re-Watching Breaking Bad so it was an amazing surprise to find Betsy Brandt on this movie, such a wonderful actress. Samara Weaving. Wow, from tough, sexy, funny to pure emotions, she was just fantastic. She did and amazing job with her character. It felt so real and manage capture that evolution of her character.

 The great thing about this movie is the range of emotions it show us and how they manage to show the differences between Latin and USA cultures. Which still in 2022 is seen like something weird or strange for some people. This movie manage to capture the emotions in the right way. The sad moments, funny, emotional, hopeful and stressful situations. Also, how well each character was made made you hate some and love others. They had a proper plot and great amount of comedy. The plot follow a proper path to stay connected with the characters. They even showed the real essence of both cultures from the awkwardness, loneliness, comedy to seriousness, struggles and sadness. Also, the difference between Rich and poor people in the United States, specially when they are from different cultures. This movie uses the natural Latin comedy, not the typical force comedy most movies use. The movie felt very real from the Valet workers, the business men, paparazzi, celebrities and the common people in the city. I really enjoyed the movie a lot more than I expected. I know it's an adaptation from another movie but I think they manage to make it unique and different than the original. Still I feel it might still attract more Latin audinece than USA audience. Hopefully they manage to advertise it properly so many different people can see it. So maybe just for that instead of a 7.5, I will stay at a 7.0 Rating to be more honest. Overall it is a very inspiring, funny and emotional movie. Greatly recommended.

Rating: 7.0
