When viewers decide closer to the cinema to see a product like that concerns us here, you know more or less what is going to find and therefore what is required of a film like this is to entertain, make you laugh and, if possible, give us a fairly charismatic characters with personality, although this is totally crazy. Also worth mentioning is how easy it would be battered and charged with gross and ordinary (that is), but as it gets all of the above (for the viewer who is not taken seriously, of course), and ensures an hour and 45 minutes laughter and the odd memorable moment, we can say that it meets the objective proposed.

The fact of placing the action in American land accentuates the comedy, because the group of friends formed a picture so absurd at Harvard University, which has no waste, where no explanation or justification by the writers, as students gain entry and teachers. Not likely, is simply an easy comedy, absurd, vulgar and scatological, but so are those American films that takes as an example and try to parody.

The film runs smoothly on the sequence of gags out of control, nonsense, silly characters, but with feelings, dear, that make you want to, perhaps occasionally abusing the merely crude and vulgar, but in general, the jokes are funny and protagonists are these characters. The star cast consists of a group of actors who are totally in his element and, in turn, function as a group, each with its moment of glory, and those who can highlight Canco Rodríguez gives us situations memorable one after another with his interpretation of the gypsy El Cabra, Paula Prendes as Sara, a character that is not what it seems and that also has its good moments and El Langui that is able to laugh at himself and use his disability to entertain the public, and also released a few sentences absolutely great.
