LA NACION Review: Papá x dos Offers a Comforting Family Rom-Com Led by Vicuña and Cid

The critic rates it good, suitable for ages 13+, emphasizing easygoing entertainment over novelty.

Overview

  • The Argentine film runs 105 minutes and is directed by Hernán Guerschuny from a script by Mili Roque Pitt and Matías Rodríguez, with distribution by BF París.
  • Benjamín Vicuña and Celeste Cid are praised for engaging chemistry that helps paper over writing weaknesses.
  • The story foregrounds family dynamics within a conventional romantic-comedy framework without aiming for a sweeping love story.
  • The second half draws criticism for losing focus on the couple, leaning into episodic bits centered on the two male leads and a tedious mafia subplot.
  • Predictability is framed as a feature of the genre, with the movie delivering relaxed, occasionally effective entertainment.
