Smiley (II) (2022)
5/10
Cheesy but entertaining gay RomCom
17 December 2022
This is a slightly cheesy gay RomCom. It's like something from the 1940s or 50s. The character played by Carlos Cuevas is slightly reminiscent of his character played in "Merli". The story is bizarre, with very strange characters that include a heavily bearded transvestite. The plot is filled with constant misunderstandings and plays a bit like a French farce. Despite his short stature, Cuevas dominates his scenes and makes his character seem quite believable. Like all RomComs, this one has many twists and turns but has a happy ending where all loose ends are neatly tied up with everyone living happily ever after. The door seems to be left open for a second season, but that remains to be seen. Like many series from Spain, the audio is poor, almost inaudible at times. They really need to use better technology that will ensure a clear audio track.
