The Valet

Maybe my expectations were low and I was just in the right mood, but this was hilarious.

Extremely surprised by this. Many laugh out loud moments, but it does feel like they could have cut a couple scenes to make it just a little shorter.

The Valet is a light & breezy RomCom that works primarily thanks to Derbez's whimsical performance. Weaving is a little one-note, while her character is almost a pastiche of virtue-signalling feminism. There's an odd sense of domineering with which the female characters are written, though it's a minor point. The B-plots involving Antonio's mum and that involving the P.I.s are also pretty funny, and the way in which the film ends is good without being painfully clichéd.

An unusual romantic comedy because it lacks both romance and humor. It's best features are its heartwarming message about family, love crossing languages, and Samara Weaving in lingerie. Samara Weaving is also quite nice in clothes too. There is even a shade of Midnight in Paris here. But unfortunately I never bought into a lot of the story, specifically Olivia (SW) finding connection with this extended family and caring about Antonio.

I would watch a show about the two private detectives.

I was charmed by this for a long time, but in the final act it all just plummets into a bit of a mess unfortunately. It feels like this was supposed to end in some other way but they had to re-write it, and did so rushed and uninspired.

Rubbish rom com
