Son of the Bride

 

aka: El Hijo de la novia
Argentina 2001, 124 minutes
Dir. Juan José Campanella
In Spanish with English subtitles
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Drama, Comedy

Topics: Mid-life.

 

Aroview: Wittily contrived drama, where various family problems revolve around a successful restauranteur Darín, himself undergoing a mid-life crisis while helming his eatery in Buenos Aries.

As cellphone-fueled stresses build he has a brief breakdown and must face his dysfunctional parental relationships, failed marriage and other deferred issues. Amusingly chaotic, this puts a gratifyingly sentimental overlay on the storyline, seasoned with some tart and barbed dialogue.
