"La película es sincera, pretende entretener y lo consigue. El filme está narrado con los estandares internacionales necesarios para que guste en todas partes. Los personajes son muy humanos, cotidianos. Por eso el público los goza, se identifica con ellos, sobretodo en el uso del lenguaje dialectal". Héctor Ismael Sermeño, especial para Trazos Culturales, Diario CoLatino, El Salvador.
