December 24 and the family in a slight discussion about what movie to watch, the children with their drawings and the others who did not want to see that, almost by default and thinking that it would just be a Christmas lunch, we decided on "the taste of Christmas "and what a pleasant surprise :)

From the beginning you can see that it is a film made with love, very well written, filmed, acted and thought out; which allows us to enjoy these festivities away from the snow and cold so typical in these films, on the contrary, in a more American environment, with sun and mariachis, specifically Mexican, and so thanks to this film and other gems like Coco, we Little by little we get hooked on this ancient culture, it takes us a little away from the cliche of "criminal gangsters" that other productions strive to reinforce to invite us to enjoy the good, funny and peculiarities of this part of the world, simply by telling us 3 unrelated stories that, thanks to the magic of these holidays, end up relating in a very pleasant way.

Rating:

• IDEA 8/10.- The stories, although relatively original, are still simple everyday stories.

• STORY 10/10.- very well told and produced, with a large dose of comedy, some drama and action, although it is not shocking, it knows how to hook you and keep you very attentive, with situations of all kinds and with a great message. - SCRIPT 9/10.- fits strongly into the film.

• CHARACTERS 9/10.- excellent, although the scenes are not very complex, they play their roles very well.

• EFFECTS 8/10.- The film has a very good recording quality and the soundtrack is precise when needed.

• ENTERTAINING 9/10.- You will hardly get bored with this film, it is very complete, its large number of comic scenes and interesting drama will keep you connected throughout the film.

PG (Under 8, with parental control) some mild violence and skin, if seen, nothing important.

In conclusion, a film with the potential to be a Christmas classic at the level of my poor little angel; comedy, reflection, message, however it is more attached to native America, with a message and development much more attached to reality, which in the end, ends up resulting in a better film, full of good vibes and optimism.

Lately, pleasantly and surprisingly, I have come across some pretty good horror movies and this is no exception.

Movies that stand out for its story or also how well put together they are, in this case I would say that it has a little more of the latter, from beginning to end it is well produced, well told, the actors do it very well and the story makes a lot of sense , entertaining, keeps you in suspense and has its moments of density without falling into the always easy extreme gore.

In this way, we have:

• IDEA 7/10.- Although it is a little more of the same, it has its touch of originality.

• STORY 7/10.- they took the trouble to at least put it together very well, make it credible and tell it in a great way.

• SCRIPT 7/10.- what is necessary, neither more nor less.

• CHARACTERS 7/10.- They do it quite well and even very well.

• EFFECTS 8/10.- credible, well achieved and not so exaggerated, although it has its dose of gore.

• ENTERTAINING 8/10.- We started watching it at midnight (and I'm one of those who fall asleep at that time if it's not well entertained) and no, I didn't fall asleep for a single second, its dialogues, situations and everything in, They actually come together very well to keep you hooked and awake all the time.

Age R (Mandatory for those over 13 and with parental guidance).

Entertaining, well put together, acted and told, its story also stands out a little as well as the dialogues, what more could you ask for? Look at it, it's very good, although it's a little more of the same.

I don't want to go on too long, but I think that every teenager should see this type of film to get love for business and not for drugs/temptations/worldly pleasures and nonsense things.

It is a film that although we do not have any physical action, the story, dialogues and actors are so good that it does not get boring and it manages to get you excited, one of the few that I would repeat with pleasure, being so we have:

• Idea 7/10
• Story 8/10
• Script 9/10
• Characters 9/10
• Effects 7/10
• Entertaining 8/10

Age PG (has a formal US rating of R, but I have no idea where they get that rating from, I firmly believe it's wrong, apart from a tantrum a character throws while swearing, the rest of the movie is totally bland, yes, perhaps to an audience that only thinks of bullets or strong scenes, it may be boring)
