À Todo Vapor! Destino: Astúrias

It will not be at the Oscar ceremony but, the purpose: laugh all the time is what you get.

Same great characters from previous movie "Padre no hay más que uno" and new actors from Spanish comedy.

Hope they will go for second one!

I didn't expect much from this movie. For Father's Day, I wanted to watch a comedy involving dads.

This movie succeeded in entertaining me !

A helpless dad and a granddad that their respective mother and daughter don't trust are given an opportunity to show their parenting skills.

It should be easy however things comically start going against their plans !

But kids find a way to have a lot of fun and the dad and grand dad slowly begin to learn , bit by bit, through lots and lots of hilarious trials and errors to become a good dad and a good CV granddad.

Filming locations are lovely villages and countryside .

Quite an adventure enjoyable movie.

I really enjoyed. Finally a really simple, fun and entertaining movie. Amidst so many sexual, confusing and simple comedies, this one just pops-up as a refreshing option. Had a lot of fun watching it.

Horrible acting, terrible script. Did I say, terrible acting?

Ricardo (Santiago Segura) and Felipe (Leo Harlem) set out with the children to camp but mistakenly left them on the train. They too get separated from the children , turning a vacation in theory light and calmness in an unstoppable spiral of craziness. As the train leaves, with the children but without the grown-ups , setting off a hilarious chase . Being left out of the protective environment of their parents , the lost children will enjoy several adventures , pranks and frolics , forcing adults to enter the children's cosmos , losing any trace of rational good sense . Santiago Segura and Leo Harlem lead the cast of this comedy for the whole family in which Segura plays Ricardo, a hypochondriac and responsible father, prone to anxiety attacks, who is forced to take 6 children on a train to Asturias. His only help He is going to be the disastrous grandfather of one of the little ones who will turn the adventure into something as disastrous as him.

The person in charge of directing this Spanish version of the French comedy ¨Attention au depart¨ is Santiago Segura himself, which distributes and interprets a fun 'Road Movie, on the one hand, which the children experience on the train without the supervision of the elderly and persecuted by the deranged Florentino Fernández, on the other hand, that of the 'responsible' adults who try to reach the train by any means.

There are several stories all around , including typical nuttiness , antics and frolics of the children and anything else. It succeeds when it comes to staging the unpretentious and light gags that the film displays from the beginning of the film. This causes the movie to be perceived as a simple game of endless frolics , games and messes , where the action is diluted , at times , by a spirit of excessive fraternization , which avoids any off-tone . Without excessive risks or surprises compared to the first installment , unfolds its plot on the rails of a situational comedy that is quite reduced in humorous intensity. The intentionally caricatured adult roles , especially for Leo Harlem role, and the children's characters schematicized to the point of responding to excessively delimited categories show a work of convenient psychological and human credibility. The charming children give a naive, natural acting and standing out the little actress Luna Fulgencio .

Along with the two main roles there are a number of celebrities appearing in supporting roles and a multitude of cameos such as Eduardo Antuña, Resines, Josema Yuste, Joaquin Reyes, Eva Isanta, Sara Sálamo, Paco Collado, Cristina Pedroche, Jorge Sanz, Itziar Castro and special mention for Paz Vega.

Followed by ¨A todo tren 2¨ or ¨Fast Track 2¨ that displays same premise as ¨A todo tren destino Asturias¨ but replacing Santiago Segura , Leo Harlem by two likeable actresses : Paz Vega , Paz Padilla. Santiago Segura and Leo Harlem take again their roles as Ricardo and Felipe repeating the tics and attitudes out of any normality of their male precedents , which does not help to distance too much this second chapter from the first . As the train they're traveling on departs before schedule while they're on the platform and leaves the unsupervised children inside , then Clara and Susana start an against-the-clock eventful chase and bewilderment trying to get onto the train before it reaches destination while the cheeky children try to avoid the train paranoid thief with cunning tricks while he attempts to rob an original manuscrypt of El Quijote and meeting again the eccentric ticket collector played by Florentino Fernández .

It packs colorful and brilliant cinematography by cameraman Angel Iguácel. As well as catching musical score by Roque Baños . The picture well produced by Santiago Segura himself , Ricardo Marco , María Luisa Gutiérrez , Axier Pérez , Ignacio Salazar-Simpson, being efficiently directed by Segura. Santiago delivers a cartoonist rhythm of a work that , without a doubt, will delight entire families of spectators . This attractive and fun comedy being competently written/produced by Santiago Segura . This well known actor and director has made various hit films . And has produced or directed nice and succesful family comedies , such as : ¨Padre no hay mas que uno¨ or ¨Father there is only one¨ , dealing with the good parents who attempt to keep together his highly dysfunctional family. To be continued by other successful films in similar style titled : ¨Padre no hay más que uno 2: La llegada de la suegra¨ and ¨Padre no hay más que uno 3¨ (2022) , and adding : ¨¡A todo tren! Destino Asturias¨ and ¨A Todo Tren 2: Sí, les ha pasado otra vez (2022)¨.
