A lackluster and unpleasant comedy in which three friends get together for a weekend in a luxurious house.

A silly, low-quality comedy, full of bad taste and terrible style, starring Laia Marull (Take My Eyes), Betsy Túrnez (The One-Eyed King), and Àgata Roca (Felipe and Leticia). They play three friends on the verge of a nervous breakdown who, fed up with everything (and everyone), get into increasingly more trouble when they decide to unleash their most irresponsible side. They are three women in crisis to whom the fling of one of them lends his luxurious mansion for the weekend. Although their WhatsApp chat is full of good intentions, they arrive wanting to forget their problems, which are many: one has just been dumped by her husband, another has been cheated on. However, none of them are particularly enthusiastic about the getaway. Things get more and more complicated after the first night, when everything changes as each woman's insecurities, secrets, and uncontrollable impulses explode.

This raucous, low-budget comedy is packed with absurd incidents, irony, grotesque situations, and, above all, stale humor. It centers on a group of middle-aged women at a reunion where they rediscover themselves. A simple question triggers unexpected events as they confront their deepest impulses. This is their chance-an opportunity for these eccentric and unhappy women to turn their lives around.

The film aims to be a wacky comedy for a general audience, but it fails spectacularly with its festive, uninhibited tone and a touch of sexual humor. However, the situations simply don't work, resulting in vulgar and simplistic humor. The slapstick humor is sometimes corny and at other times downright repulsive, with numerous raunchy and risqué situations, bad taste, and abundant scatological references. Neither the acting nor the directing is good, and the story is completely absurd, though there are a few brief laughs in a few moments. The film is certainly quite bad, but it is also mildly entertaining. The characters are nothing more than stereotypes and clichés, with cringeworthy performances that are only exacerbated by an indescribable plot. It focuses on the unfortunate lives of middle-aged, unattractive women in their fifties who refuse to succumb to harsh reality and decide to bond for a weekend. They set out to spend the two craziest days of their lives, determined to prove that their friendship can overcome anything.

It's somewhat similar to the equally awful "How to Survive a Bachelorette Party" by Manuela Moreno, but at least the latter starred attractive twenty-somethings eager for extreme fun, not troubled and unattractive fifty-somethings. Furthermore, the original Catalan language, when dubbed into Spanish, doesn't match the characters at all due to the terrible work of the voice actors.

The new comedy by acclaimed Spanish director Laura Mañá turned out to be a complete flop. The Catalan director Laura Mañá rose to fame as an actress under the direction of directors such as Bigas Luna and Vicente Aranda.
