Pocholo and Borjamari were the kings of the dance floor back in the eighties, and for some unexplained reason, they decided to remain the same for ever. Thus, they are now nearly forty and still live with their parents, go to university and lead a teenager's life. If they were admired in the eighties, now they are ridiculed by everyone, including their cousin Pelayo, a former geek and now a super famous snowboarder-singer.
At one point they meet Paloma, their female equivalent (a charming Pilar Castro, clearly the best part of the film), and the three of them start a quest for a surprise concert by their favorite pop group, which split more than ten years ago.
Such a premise is packed with gags, some of which are very good but most of which are unreasonably bad. The original idea of two people who have refused to grow up and have remained the same for twenty years is promising, but eventually the writers took the easy way of the toilet jokes instead of aiming for a more sophisticated type of comedy.
Still, some of the performances are quite good, and Javier Gutiérrez is intermittently endearing as Pocholo. Santiago Segura, a formerly respected actor and director, hasn't made a decent film for ages and continues his path here playing Borjamari.
Overall rating: 5/10
