How to Be a Latin Lover reads like a watered-down version of something frequent Marino collaborator David Wain might have done. Very watered-down. Like five parts Wain to fifteen parts water. Which is better than I expected, if less than I wanted.

Derbez brings warmth and intermittent goofy humor to this too-broad and uneven comedy. The best moments are between him and co-stars Salma Hayek and young Raphael Alejandro, who both have an easy chemistry with Derbez.

How To Be A Latin Lover is basically an Adam Sandler movie without the Happy Madison shingle.

Eventually, the premise weakens and the humor rests on the tortilla slaps that Hayek gives to Derbez. How to be a Latin Lover doesn't meet the expectations. [Full review in Spanish]

A horrible mess full of clichés and jokes that feel worn, despite the efforts of Eugenio Derbez to make them work. [Full review in Spanish]

OK, so it will never be mistaken for vintage Pedro Almodovar or Bigas Luna, but the feel-good satire How to Be a Latin Lover nevertheless gives you less cause to be a hater than you might have expected.

Surprisingly deft in mixing Mr. Derbez's broad but accomplished style with more ostensibly hip-absurdist Anglo modes of humor.

A film that aims to offer escapism and reaffirmation to Latinos in the United States, but instead reinforces harmful stereotypes. [Full review in Spanish]

How to Be a Latin Lover doesn't know how to be a comedy-at least not a 21st century one that can get away with dopey double entendres while promoting the importance of family ties over money.

Focused primarily to entertain the Latino population living in the United States, it's worrying that a public so noble and hungry for references to connect to the country that they probably can't return to, receive such product. [Full review in Spanish]

Its humor is broad, but most of the jokes work for the intended audience - with a few even breaking through to more resistant viewers.
