Release
The film received a pre-screening in December 2007 in L'Alfàs del Pi.[10] It was presented at the Málaga Film Festival's official selection on 9 April 2008.[1] It was theatrically released in Spain on 11 April 2008.[7]
Reception
Francisco Griñán of Diario Sur assessed that insofar the film aims to entertain it manages to do so sometimes, also adding that the light (yet also "bland") comedy based on the comedy talent of Abascal and Forqué (great in a tailor-made role) sometimes features scenes that are taken to such an extreme that they do not hold up.[11]
Jonathan Holland of Variety wrote that "in spite of a few moments of authentic wit and a lively perf from Veronica Forque in a role tailored for her, little elevates this above any number of other well-honed farces".[12]
