Queens on the Run (Fuga de reinas) is a Mexican comedy directed by Jorge Macaya and starring Martha Higareda, Paola Nuñez, Alejandra Ambrosi, Valeria Vera.
A funny Mexican movie that, between Thelma and Louise and Sky Rojo, takes us to the adventures of four very nice women.
Very entertaining, it delves more in the funny and sympathetic tone than in the thriller.
Without being the movie of our lives, it achieves what it intends: to make us have a good time without disturbing us too much.
Simple.
Movie Review
Funny, good rhythm, excellent comic performances, exaggeratedly self-conscious: four great protagonists with whom to spend two hours and, unfortunately, forget about them after ten minutes.
With Queens on the Run we are clear about it after five minutes: it only aims to entertain, following usual plots and with a hint of parody to American cinema and the classic road movies with women characters. Now there are four and not two… it was also done, but the film wasn’t not born with the desire to change the history of cinema or to remain in the retina.
Its merit: knowing what it aims at and fulfilling its role, without going too wild, without being that brutal thriller of Sky Red or having the transcendence of Thelma and Louise, but playing it safe with what they know that works and, supported by four excellent and dynamic actresses, offering us a healthy and uncomplicated entertainment.
Could it have been better? Yes, we miss a little more risk in the structure, in those characters sketched just to amuse… Yes, but then it would have been a totally different movie.
This one, at least, doesn’t get into complications and offers us two entertaining hours.
Little more, nothing less.
