Como caído del cielo (2019)
Heaven can wait, with Pedro Infante Easter eggs for true fans.
The movie works very well as a romantic comedy. The movie does a good job weaving Pedro's personal life, with his movie persona. There is a lot of Easter eggs for true fans all over this movie. Pedro's wife Raquel is a motorcycle cop, this is an obvious nod to Pedro Infante's movie (A.T.M). He is also handy with his hands this alludes to Pepe el toro the carpenter, and the real Pedro Infante who was a carpenter in real life. Infante Who was upses with fitness they make it a point to always workout with anything that's around him in the film. Chaparro does a great job using the old Pedro infante formula of song and charisma. Since most of what we know of Infante's way of being is from his movies. As very little interviews are out there of him being himself. I like the redemption aspect of the movie, having Pedro trying to rectify his macho ways. This aspect of the film of him trying to change is way is really just a spoof of one of Infante's Films. like the move Ansiedad who he plays the good twin brother or Escuela de Rateros where he plays a poor doppelgänger that has a heart of gold. The movie is full of Pedro Infante's Bitts from basically all his movies. Even the subplot of Jenny Infante, is a recycle bitt of him working with Chachita or La Tucita. All in All its fun ride Omar does a great job as Infante, I just wish the movie had more closure with some of the characters like Jenny Infante I just think there was more there they could have done, her father situation would have been a good closing segment.. If you know Pedro Infante movies really well then you can totally see all the Easter eggs. if not this movie may seem simple to you or even pushing a feminist agenda but is not the case at all its just simply a Love Letter to Pedro Infante Fans.
