Believe it or not this movie did great here in Chile, it's original and very different from most of the movies Chile has done. I think the main problem with this movie is that is made for Chileans. This movie says a lot about our culture, it has our sense of humor and I doubt someone from any other country (except maybe countries closer to Chile like Argentina) would really understand what is about and what the movie says about us. It's not Oscar worthy, but it stands out from most of our movies. It's well done, it's light, it's funny because it shows a lot of characters we recognize in today's society here.
To say Chileans should be embarrassed about this movie is and insult not just to me, but for our entire country, and it's completely out of line. Most of the movies made in the USA are dumb or crappy, but you can't blame that on the WHOLE country, usually you blame it on the director, or the cast, or the idea was bad, etc.
