Ever you felt strange beings in a movie theater, as weirdos and misunderstood in an audience that reacts in unison to stimuli of a film? My feeling at the premiere in Barcelona
Cousins, the third film by Daniel Sánchez Arévalo, was precisely that. Maybe not that the comedy was bad, perhaps the major problem as I had.
If none of the jokes, none of the gags, damn me grace, while everyone around me Descojonado in their seats, it is likely that my humor does not pass through its best . Or worse yet, I'm becoming one of those bitter and pedantic beings who do not look beyond a particular auteur.
But I refuse to accept it. I like intelligent humor, yes, the style
7 lives or
The comedy club, to give an example of our country (funny that I come now to the memory of any outstanding English comedy in the great screen). But I also
roaring with the most vulgar and absurd humor, such as Aida or Torrente . It is true that my mind is obtuse . The point is that I'm not sure where to locate the humor that has been devised to
Cousins \u200b\u200b Arévalo. At times it is customary, at times rude. Occasionally borders on genius, but in general is Kafir and simpleton. But above all it is contagious. Less for a server.
"I'm just as happy as a pig in shit" , release one of the three prime characters at a time to give way immediately to general laughter in the audience. It's just a humorous example of the pearls that the script is throwing without time to digest, to absorb the spill level of intellectual effort in the text. Another example is found in the trailer for the film itself, when Raúl Arévalo you loose some stunning guiris "How do you do, blondes." Undoubtedly, to break out laughing.
To make matters worse, the actor
less acting skills, with barely intelligible speech, it is rather welcomes the audience. Adrián Lastra, resembling more than reasonable to Carlos Baute, has the juiciest character, the fool that incites giggles just by opening his mouth. The public does not stop trying to decipher what it says. His eye patch and bare to look at infinity and are more than enough, which is not without merit.
For its part,
Quim Gutierrez, cousin left before the altar, which is torn between the love of youth and promised sorry, certifies that comedy is a genre that resists it . Already demonstrated in
One hour less in Canary , where he became the only element to highlight, but now, especially for his brilliant opening monologue, an actor who is corroborated SUV. In the same way as evidenced Antonio de la Torre or himself Arévalo.
The accumulating in my opinion missteps in his career is the director Sánchez Arévalo. If the strange mix of drama and comedy that marked

jump to the hilarious comedy seems to me almost suicidal. But seeing the reactions of critics and audiences I swallow my words. Cousins \u200b\u200b
is fun, funny and above all, profitable, so I should not worry at the moment, for his professional future. The film will be a success and box office figures will make me feel even more misunderstood. Strange Case mine.
