No se aceptan devoluciones Instructions Not Included Movie
Reviewed by Teresita Blanco
This movie is about a Mexican stud, named Valentin, which
gets an unwanted bundle of joy from his last girlfriends. The movie starts with
him talking about his father “Johnny” Bravo. His father was always trying to
get Valentin to overcome his fears. The way he did is quite comically
illustrated in the movie.
When his father locked him inside the cemetery, Valentin started
to think his father did not love him. He eventually grows up. One day, his
gringo ex-girlfriend Julie abandons her baby daughter at Valentin’s home. Since
he does not speak English, he only half gets what Julie was telling him.
When he finally understands, he races to the airport to
return the baby. Since he misses the flight, he crosses the border to return
the baby. He is tracks her down using the photo. Somewhere along the way, he
starts caring about the baby Maggie. In the end, he stays in the US to raise
Maggie.
So he takes up a job as a stunt double to make a lot of
money for his daughter. It is an ironic job since he never overcame his fears. On
top of everything, he worries about that ICE will take his US born daughter
away. It is a heartwarming movie and it shows you the complexities of illegal
Mexican families.
