Synopsis: The adventures and misadventures of Corporals Salinas (Salinas) and Freire (Freire), who will have to settle for their lives to be respected by their superiors.
Review: I watched this movie recommended by my cousin. And it was a good choice! The movie is hilarious. I needed an explanation for the recurring "Buenos días Buenas tardes" of the two heroes. It seems that it is the way city people laugh at country boys who cannot decide between the Good morning and the Good afternoon and say both to be sure to be right. The adventures are all based on the daily work of city policemen. Helping people, getting drunkards in jail, looking for the big number where they could surge and boost their career. The love stories and personal stories are full of humour as well.
The actors remind me the French duo Eric et Ramzy and their movies (e.g. La tour Montparnasse infernale, Les Dalton) having a similar humour and where apparently stupid people manage to be real heroes. Freire y Salinas are close friend and collabrated in many stand-up comedies. The remaining actors fulfill the caricatural roles.
Rating: 6 /10
