Synopsis
A down-on-his-luck mariachi group gets the call of a lifetime when they are named finalists in a national contest for the best mariachi band in Mexico. The winning group will receive a prize of 250,000 pesos and will have the honor of performing Las Mañanitas for the Virgin of Guadalupe at the Basilica on December 12. The problem begins when they lack a member to be able to participate, so they integrate the son of one of them, a young rocker. During their travels, they encounter a series of unexpected events, turning their whole trip into a complete odyssey.[4][5]

Reception
Critical reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 50% of 6 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.8/10.[11]
Lucero Calderón from Excelsior concludes that it is a good film whose acting quality on the part of the entire cast partly rescues the script that decays in the final route.[12] Arturo Magaña from Cine Premiere highlights the fresh, original and very well written script that manages to generate laughter and be emotional. He also praises the main cast, especially Mariana Treviño who gives a very funny performance.[13] On the other hand, Mario P. Székely from Siete24.mx described this film as a Mexican comedy with nothing special, whose story does not seek to continue beyond the obvious and the silly, although it highlights the charisma of the actors.[14]
