Meet Valentin. Valentin is from Acapulco, Mexicom and his #1 job is to flirt with and enjoy the company of all the visiting
tourists, do just enough to get by, and try his absolute hardest to
avoid responsibility. Unbeknownst to Valentin, he has a daughter with an American named Julie (Jessica Lindsey) who decides that she is not ready to be a mother and that it is time for Valentin to take care of their daughter, Maggie. Valentin does exactly what any parent would do; he sacrifices his care-free life and his home to raise Maggie as best he can.
Instructions Not Included has been getting a lot of buzz lately, so, I added it to my list of "movies to see," and even more so because it is an independent movie (and I've been digging these a lot lately; thumbs up Hollywood).
What I did not know was that the ENTIRE movie was in Spanish and I had to read sub-titles. BUT, do NOT let that deter you - this movie was funny (like, for real LOL funny), endearing, and all around great (and even had a little twist). So, take a chance, step outside of the "typical, been there done that" type movies and check this one out. I promise you won't regret it!!
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
