Description:
Rodri and Rico are two cousins unalike in every way except for a shared contempt for their parents' values and a deep connection to their free spirited grandfather, Rodrigo. When Rodrigo dies unexpectedly, his yuppie children are more interested in quibbling about their inheritance than in fulfilling his last request. Determined to make things right, Rodri and Roco kidnap their grandfather's ashes and set off for sunny Acapulco in a vintage Mercedes. On the way, they learn about life and friendship and realize that their grandfather was more free-spirited than they could have imagined.

I purchased the DVD because of the high reviews, but I didn't find it very entertaining. Watched it twice and fell asleep both times. Maybe too much on the drama side for me. Cute guys, but the director is careful not to show you much.

I picked this up in VHS at a video store on clearance for 99 cents and figured it would be an okay piece of entertainment. Boy, was I surprised!

The spinning of the urn like a roulette wheel gave me a real chuckle. Also gives a view into the folks that live in Mexico City and it was nice to see Acapulco from the beach level. A good companion to Todo el Poder and El Segundo Aire.

"Por la libre" deserves a viewing because of all the elements that the director, Mr. LLaca brought together to this film. Even though it's a pretty light movie, you can take in consideration many good stuff about this one. First, the story is quite original. Second, the characters are indifferent from each other. Third, the acting is great by a very believable Osvaldo Benavides, and a surprising hit acting by Rodrigo Cachero, and of course, Ana de la Reguera, as a Hotel owner's daughter, whom also did ...
