      Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It can't figure out if it wants to be a naturalistic portrait of L.A. or a manic comedy. Either way, it doesn't work. Jun 7, 2022 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian The Valet confirms Samara Weaving as a knockout star. Rated: 3.5/5 May 31, 2022 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com The Valet is entertaining, thanks mostly to the talented cast, but it tries to do way too much. Rated: 3/4 May 20, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It ultimately delivers on the raison d'etre of any rom-com: a satisfactory mix of laughs and love. Rated: 3/4 Oct 11, 2022 Full Review Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com The Valet is a very funny film about embracing yourself amidst the chaos of culture clash.

      Jmin C LOVED IT!! I love every film that Eugenio Derbez is in!! Should've gotten higher ratings! And I didn't want the movie to end! I never seen an ad or trailer for this I just found this typing 'best movies to watch' and I thought to give it a shot since my favorite actor is in it. (: Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Santi P Great movie, hilarious and enjoyable. Spectacular work from both starring actors, and the plot suits them perfectly. Better to watch if you understand both Spanish and English, as there are some slang words and expressions that fail to generate the corresponding effect on the audience when translated. (My qualification is based on the knowledge of both languages). There are some tedious scenes, but it is overall entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Paulina S It's a good comedy, the acting and the background story of the protagonists are nearly mediocre but decent. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Carlos N BEST film of the year……FUNNY AS F AND HEARTWARMING AS WELL. in English and Spanish only word word describes it. BRAVO! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Rokim it's a nice movie, good feeling movie. this one is definitely worth watching if you don't want anything too serious and just want to relax Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Frank L This is a movie you have to see. Not often you will see a remake that is slightly better than the original. This one is. After seeing "La Doublure", I had to see this one. Thinking what do I have to lose, right? Well this movie is surprisingly funny and uplifting. The jokes are everywhere, in the words and also in the non-verbal communication. The interactions between Antonio's mother and Mr. Kim are unexpectedly sweet (she speaks Spanish and he speaks Korean and neither speaks English) which results in an amusing translation of their communication. The plot and subplot (the gentrification) twist you can see coming from a mile away but that does not have any negative impact on the storytelling. This is mainly due to the fantastic cast as a whole and the outstanding performances of both Eugenio Derbez (Antonio) and co-lead Samara Weaving (Olivia), YES, related to Hugo Weaving but she is playing the role of her lifetime. Also an excellent performance from Betsy Brandt (Breaking Bad Maria Schrader), who plays Kathryn Royce. And Kathryn is not happy to be the wife of a cheater and puts down an amazing performance. Even the side story with the two detectives who are rivals but become good friends is very well executed. At first glance, the film is just another romantic comedy. But soon you will realize that this movie (or version of The Valet) will defeat your expectations, whatever they are. This is a perfect example of "Gestalt" , a configuration or pattern of elements so unified as a whole that it cannot be described merely as a sum of its parts. It is more than the sum of its parts. But you will have to go and see for yourself. I rated this movie 8.1/10. A slightly higher rating as the original from 2006. As 8.1 is not allowed, ended up with 8/10. And highly recommended to watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
