Quisiera ser hombre

About This Movie

Quisiera ser hombre presents a unique blend of action, comedy, and crime, wrapping it all in a satirical take on gender roles. The film follows Manuela, played by Lucerito, who struggles to break into the male-dominated fashion industry. The transformation into Manuelito is played for both laughs and some sharp commentary on societal expectations. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times but it adds to the charm, allowing moments of absurdity to breathe. Guillermo Capetillo's performance as Miguel is a nice foil to Manuela's journey, creating some engaging dynamics. Practical effects are minimal but effective, contributing to the film's quirky atmosphere. It's a curious piece that reflects its era and offers a humorous take on identity and ambition.
