Production
The screenplay was penned by Juan Luis Iborra alongside Antonio Albert. The film is an El Paso PC, Cuarteto PC, Hispanocine PC and Notro Films production. Joaqun Manchado was responsible for the cinematography and Jos Reinoso for the score. Shooting took place in Madrid, beginning on 19 March and wrapping on 20 June 2007.
Release
The film received a pre-screening in December 2007 in L'Alfs del Pi. It was presented at the Mlaga Film Festival's official selection on 9 April 2008. It was theatrically released in Spain on 11 April 2008.
Reception
Francisco Grin 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 Forqu (great in a tailor-made role) sometimes features scenes that are taken to such an extreme that they do not hold up.
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".
