Plot

Santi is a child who has had to deal with the separation of his parents, Rodrigo and Alejandra. They are required to meet once in a while, as they share their child's time. One day they receive the news that Santi must undergo surgery so as not to lose his sight, so Santi makes a wish list and asks to fulfill it together with his two parents, before the operation. Rodrigo and Alejandra must learn to coexist again, embarking (without suspecting it) on a trip that, in the end, will make it very difficult to separate again.

The film was released in Mexico on 2 August 2018, and finished at the top of the box office, reaching a first four-day weekend gross of 73 million Mexican Pesos ($3.3 million), the second-best all-time opening weekend for a Mexican film after Instructions Not Included . [5]

In its opening weekend in the US the film made $1.8 million in its opening weekend (including $2.2 million over the four-day Labor Day weekend) from 369 theaters. [7]

Critical response

The film received lukewarm reception by critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 0% based on 10 reviews with an average rating of 4.8/10. [8] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 25 out of 100, based on 4 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". [9]

Writing for The Hollywood Reporter , Frank Scheck criticized the "juvenile humor and ersatz emotion" and wrote, "The film might have proved tolerable, barely, if the two adult leads had any spark of chemistry, but such is not the case. Ochmann attempts to bring boyish charm to his performance but merely comes across as immature, while Castillo goes overboard in the other direction with her stiffness. We never come to care whether their characters get back together, which is the kiss of death in a romantic comedy." [10]
