Cast



Production



An adaptation of the 2017 French film 'Jour J', the screenplay was penned by Olatz Arroyo, Marta Snchez and Eric Navarro. An Atresmedia Cine and lamo Producciones Audiovisuales production, the film had the participation of Movistar+ and Orange. It was shot in between Tenerife and Madrid.

Release



The film was pre-screened on 6 February 2020 in Paterna. Distributed by A Contracorriente Films, it was theatrically released in Spain on 14 February 2020. The film had some time for its theatrical window before the COVID-19 pandemic disruption gave way to a complete closure of Spanish theatres on 13 March 2020, becoming the fourth highest-grossing Spanish film in 2020, with circa 2.7 million (over 452,000 admissions).

Reception



Javier Ocaa of 'El Pas' wrote that the film, which he considered to be superior to the French original, is "in principle, a good comedy", but that by and large it had already been made "very recently" and next door, considering that the remake trend "may make all the commercial sense in the world. But from an artistic standpoint it is disappointing".

Manu Pin of 'Fotogramas' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting Cuesta and Garca's comedy performances as the best thing about the film.

Beatriz Martnez of 'El Peridico de Catalunya' rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, deeming it to "a correct film, but one that we have seen a thousand times. Functional, but aseptic".

Wondering if it had already come the time to praise the much vilified trend of film remakes, Rubn Romero Santos of 'Cinemana' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, assessing that the wedding reception "is basically the same" (as in the French film) but "leaves a better taste in the mouth".
