This movie lets us see that learning has no age limit. The older generations learn from the younger and vice versa. Chano learned to be opened minded and to handle new technology while reminding a group of students the importance of romance and values. The main message of this movie is to not forget our values, that we should always respect one another and that the old romance ways don't age. Friendship is a strong point in this movie and we learn that it has no age limit. When Chano's younger friends see his suffering, they want to be there for him.This movie was filmed in Guanajuato and I really enjoyed watching the scenery and the culture of the town.

I choose to see this movie expecting to see either of two, a comedy (National Lampoon's Van Wilder) or a touch in the heart movie (Death poets society, with honors) but I found neither of those.At first it seems to be a comedy, an old man going back to school, entering the classroom he finds the students believing he is the teacher until the teacher arrives. But that's the only fun part in the movie. The other "fun" parts are boring and predictable.The seriousness of the film starts, with predictable ultra moralist scripts, and non believable performances, forced histories, not related to each other, is like seeing a Mexican soap opera. --SPOILER ALERT-- The death of the wife was so forced and stupid to the story is like trying to force the audience to cry so pathetic.The end of the film is one of the worst things. It sucks big time, but people are praising the story because is ultra moralist, and church friendly, not because is a good film, is the kind of story moms want to show their kids to "teach them" some good things.

This must be one of the best Mexican movies I have ever seen. Actors are top-notch, specially the performance of Jorge Lavat. There were many young actors and actresses that really have done a great job. I really don't know what I liked more, the movie or the music. All the songs were composed or selected perfectly to transmit the correct emotion. The official theme for the movie is Mirame_Bien performed by Sofia Maqueo. The direction was done flawlessly, incredible for a first time director. I was crying and going through the same emotions as the characters towards the end (and I sincerely almost never experience that nowadays). You have gotta see this movie!

First of all, this movie is amazing! From the trailer, I didn't really know what to expect. I was sort of expecting one of you typical 5/10 star Mexican medium budget film. Boy, was I surprised.The acting was top notch, the jokes were perfectly executed and I could really identify with various characters. The DP work was amazing and I fell in love even more with the beautiful city of Guanajuato.The only problem I had (which also prevented me from giving this movie a 10) was that this movie tried to deal with too many stories for its 90 min length. I sometimes felt like the subplots were a little bit rushed and that some scenes were missing back story or were even a little bit pointless.Aside from that, (I won't give away spoilers) but I was crying and going through the same emotions as the characters towards the end (and I sincerely almost never experience that nowadays).Final Verdict: You have gotta see this movie!
