Fun to watch
Well made light romantic comedy. The story progresses very smoothly and it gave me a good 2 hours peaceful break from my midnight anxiety😀 Unlike many other rom com in which the actors fall in love, this has a very beautiful ending. It shows how all the characters ended up in more better and happier situation. Flawless depiction of emotions. - hakra1 - 24 July 2022
Pesimo
Derbez is a funny and a good actor, i enjoyed his movies and sitcoms, but unfortunately The Valet is really really bad.
Far too long, bad cutting, bad editing, bad audio, terrible acting - even Derbez changes between being stiff or overacting - the story and dialogues senslessly chopped together, very boring and obvious, and in s lot of parts stupidly racist.
The only positive to say about this waste of time is Carmen Salinas, who did a good job in her last appearance and brought some fun to this overlong remake.
Don Derbez, usted tiene 62 años, por favor deje de actuar como un cuarenton con caracter de niño, simplemente no cuadra. - MovieCriticOnline - 30 June 2022
Yeah.... NO!
Everything is so overly written and cutesy. There is nothing organic about this wooden piece of filmmaking. From the writing, to the casting to the acting. It's like a sitcom come to life on a big screen... "hey, honey, I'm home.." Everything is perfectly cued up.
Of course this isn't an original movie because Hollywood gave up on originality a long time ago. Nowadays everything is remade, not because they are trying to improve on the original movies, but because there is an effort to make them PC meeting all kinds of new frivolous quotas.
The characters were flat and one dimensional and story derivative.
Anyway, if you are in the mood for a cutesy non-edgy film, maybe you will want to waste your time on this. I say skip it. Please no..
