Un mal día lo tiene cualquiera

'Un mal día lo tiene cualquiera' belongs to the 'After Hours' (1985) genre: a unlikely sequence of events and encounters turn an ordinary Joe/Jane's day (night) into an outlandish experience. This flick stands proudly within that genre. Yes, this type of narrative is far from new but what this story does it does well.

First of all, it's well shot, the jokes are well timed and the characters memorable. Secondly, humour is solid, at times original & clever (not easy in this genre). Finally, it's only 78 minutes long including credits, so it really goes in a breeze - and a refreshing one for that matter.

A short and sweet film that accomplishes what it intends to: to let the audience have an uncomplicated good time.
