The highest grossing Spanish-language film of all time in the U.S, this sentimental comedy tells the story of Valentin (Eugenio Derbez), Acapulco's resident playboy whose life is turned upside down when his illegitimate daughter Maggie (Loreta Peralta) is left stranded on his doorstep. After travelling to the USA in a desperate attempt to track down the mother, Julie (Jessica Lindsey, Now You See Me), Valentin eventually gives up, and instead decides to embrace his circumstance. Against all odds, Valentin prevails, landing himself a successful and high-paying job as a Hollywood stuntman. This builds a more than comfortable lifestyle for him and Maggie overflowing with comedic moments.

However, when Julie returns with the intention to become part of Maggie’s life, things become more than complicated, as cover-ups are revealed and the question of what makes a real family is put to the test.

Biggest Mexican hit ever at the local box office - more than 3 million admissions! Top grossing Spanish-language film of all time in the US!
