This movie came recommended to us as a light movie fare to watch in the time of COVID and climate change making it hands down the worst year of the 21st century to date. May it not be exceeded, but 2021 may be more of the same.
Ernesto gets what very few of us do--he gets what he deserves. He starts the story with little if anything on his side, other than his good humor and a rosy outlook on the world. He loses his job after being falsely accused by wrong doers and he loses his admittedly terrible girlfriend as a result. From then on things go nowhere but up. Ernesto is like a Latinx Chauncey Gardiner, going from being a simple waiter in a Tex-Mex restaurant in SoCal to becoming a trusted advisor and financial successful. What the movie lacks in scintillating dialogue it makes up for with a good person getting the break he deserves.
