El aviso inoportuno

1969 · 80 min Comedy
7.8 / 10 · TMDB

Little Gordolfo poses an awkward question about his origins to his father, Naborita. To answer, the devoted dad spins an elaborate family saga spanning five wildly different historical epochs. The comedy duo Polivoces guides the audience from the Stone Age and the Roman Empire to the raids of English pirates in the Caribbean, onward to the American Wild West, and finally into the post-World War II space race. In each absurd chapter, Gordolfo's ancestors find themselves at the center of chaotic and ridiculous situations, showcasing quintessential Mexican slapstick humor and visual gags in a rapid-fire farce.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film is a perfect vehicle for the Polivoces duo, whose chemistry and impeccable comic timing elevate a simple premise into a whirlwind of hilarious sketches. The director cleverly uses the shifting historical settings to parody genres, ensuring the pace never falters.

What lingers after the credits is the feeling of uncomplicated, cheerful fun emblematic of classic Mexican farce. It’s a cinematic carnival where logic takes a back seat to grotesque humor and the performers' relentless energy. — MovieFinder Editorial
