Real life stories are not everyones cup of tea. Then again, when it comes to something like that you have to be a far greater cynic than I am, not to want to watch it. It's a story about overcoming obstacles or at least trying. To paraphrase Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent "do it or die trying". It's a bit of an exaggeration of course, but it boils down to, if you really want something, go for it and do everything too achieve that goal.So you could call this inspirational, no matter the outcome, because not the finish line is what is worth all the trouble, but the way leading up to it. No matter if it is the whole thing, or just parts of it. Just the fact you pursue it, should be satisfaction in itself. So if that sounds like something you can get behind with, than the movie is worth watching too ...

This is a touching look at multiple sclerosis (MS) and how it gradually wreaks havoc on a family, but ultimately helps build the family's unity and sense of belonging, too. Dani Rovira is very good in the central role, and he is capably seconded by his father in law, played by Elejalde, and his wife, played by the beautiful Alexandra Jimenez, who shows what a woman's quiet and unwavering love can do for a man. There are many memorable sequences in the movie, but I liked in particular the exchanges among the MS patients who congregate for treatment. Life is a very flimsy and wanton thing, and watching this movie only heightened my perception of how privileged I am to be alive, healthy, and with my own beloved wife and family.

This is one of the best movies I have seen. I will buy the DVD for my collection. Even with the subtitles it was great! I give it a 10 star even with the f___ words! I am also glad I did not read any critical reviews ahead of time that might have discouraged me from watching this on Netflix. Hollywood would have spoiled this story. The Spanish production was great. In the title it says this is a comedy, but I did not see it as thus. It is dramatic, but not depressing drama. You instinctively know it is going to have a good ending and that he and his crabby father-in-law will grow close. This is a movie that leaves you feeling good at the end. Give me more movies like this! Too bad they used the F word because it could have a much larger audience.

This is unexpectedly good movie. What I love about European movies is that end is not easily predictable. There is no happy end guaranteed, you are not sure what will happen until the very last minutes of the movie. Also, intelligent humor is something I appreciate. In this movie it is so well put with the rest of the, not so funny, story. Do not skip this one.
