Spanish
Film: Instructions Not Included (2013)
Sleazebag
Valentin Bravo spends his entire life sleeping around with women, not
even bothering to learn the tourists' names who visit Acapulco. Then one day one of them
returns, a baby in tow. Julie hands Valentin the baby, telling him
she just needs to pay the cab fare, but she never returns. Valentin
takes the baby Maggie to California in an
attempt to locate the baby's mother. Maggie crawls into a pool while
Valentin is asking around for Julie, and he jumps 10 stories down to
rescue the baby. A movie director just happens to watch the jump, and
Valentin is hired as a stuntman. Fast-forward six years, and Valentin
is a devoted, doting father, spoiling his daughter with every
pleasure possible. Suddenly the birth mother Julie shows up, wanting
to meet and subsequently fight for custody of Maggie. Who will end up
with Maggie?
*I
didn't like this film, especially the beginning when it shows just
how gross this man is sleeping around so much. I understand it was to
help illustrate just how much Maggie changed him, but I don't think
his change was evident enough. I also HATED the ending, but some
people like sad endings, so there you go. I will NOT watch this
again.*
