Movie Reviews
Eugenio Derbez farce crashes as both rom-com and class satire (…) This remake of a French comedy has ideas about racial and social divides in contemporary L.A., but it conks out at too many turns.
Katie Walsh: The Wrap
‘The Valet’ proves that a remake can still be a welcome thing these days, even in a world oversaturated with them (…) Unfortunately, [it] litters what could have been a leaner tale with too much subplot.
Tomris Laffly: Variety
Though ‘The Valet’ perhaps takes on too much all at once and can be a bit slow at the beginning, it is a success as a heartwarming exploration of friendship and family (…)
