Review of Spanish Movie (2009) by Michael H — 31 Jan 2013
Mainly A Flat Parody Of The Orphanage, Pans Labyrinth, The Sea Inside, also including some english references to No Country For Old Men and other english movies, Spanish Movie is a flat attempt to parody spanish movies. When Jason And Arron Do it, They do at least a plausable job at it. When Spanish Movie does it, all hope is lost for plausability. Ramira accidently keeps killing everyone in her life. When she is asked to look after an orphanage this disabled guy has got the hots for her. There is also two kids, one is a nasty brat and the other one, SImeon, who the mother keeps having trouble figuring out his name, gets killed by sunlight. She tries to hide it for as long as possible before the family finds out what happened. For a parody movie, the acting is pretty poor. This feels more like a bollywood movie then a Spanish Parody Movie with all of its song and dance numbers. Parody movies are my favorite types of comedy. But Spanish Movie fails to prove that Spanish Movies are a good source of parodying. Its a shame because I had alot of hope for this one.
