Nice and nutty comedy starred by two queens of the Spanish comedy : Verònica Forqué and Rosa Maria Sardá whom is dedicated the film, along with two new stars in the recent cinema : Ingrid Garcia Jonsson and David Verdaguer . Funny and diverting Spanish romantic comedy with crazy events , amusement and absurd situations that follow the politically correct style . This entertaining film packs amusement , comical situations , tongue-in-cheek , surrealist comedy including conventional pitfalls and anything else . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly cool . This is another Spanish comedy romp , a bemusing story that contains lots of humor , entertainment , brief drama and involving a peculiar homosexual wedding . This is a slightly fun film with outlandish events , giggles , emotion , profanities , twists and love stories . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind , and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with some naughty and picaresque situations . This is a special Spanish comedy from the 2010s with the usual ingredients such as wild humor topped with a little bit of original touches here and there and the tone of the film is light-hearted . It's an agreeable , moving film , adequately acted and concerning the narration about the relationship among family members , fiancée , fiancés , and brides . This is a typical and contemporary Spanish comedy in which characters are quite odd , grotesque and weird and the film races on at incredible speed . The film displays all kinds of ordinary stereotypes , resulting in an agreeable comedy , with an enjoyable message about the real importance of a good but dysfunctional family . On the surface, this ¨Salir del ropero¨ follows the wake of other similar movies about dysfunctional families and offbeat weddings , such as : ¨Señor, dame paciencia¨, ¨Hasta que la boda nos separe ¨ , ¨Tres Bodas de más¨ , ¨Bajo el mismo techo¨ , ¨En mejor verano de mi vida¨ , among others . Doesn't get much wrong , it looks okay , the comedy misunderstandings pile up in a reasonably amusing fashion and performance is acceptable . Stars two veteran , recently deceased actresses : Rosa Maria Sardà and Verónica Forqué who unfortunately committed suicide due to depression and two successful newcomers : Ingrid García Jonsson and David Verdaguer. And a lot of charming secondaries , such as : Candela Peña , Mónica López , Pol Monen , Alex O'Dogherty , Leander Vyvey , among others .

In ¨So My Grandma's a Lesbian!¨ stands out the evocative and colorful cinematography by José Luis Luis Alcaine who is deemed to be one of the best Spanish cameramen with a long and prestigious artistic career and Almodovar's ordinary cameraman , he has photographed successes such as ¨Volver¨ , ¨The bad education¨ , ¨The skin I live in¨ , and ¨Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown¨ . Along with the lively , sensitive and catching musical score by composer Lucal Vidal , a notorious musician who has composed various international productions . The motion picture was decently directed by Ángeles Reiné in her film debut . Getting Nominations in Almería International Short Film Festival 2020 Nominee Best First Film and ASECAN 2021 Nominee Award Best Supporting Actor Alex O'Dogherty.

And most of the cast convincing apart from the one who played Celia, a grotesque performance, way over the top.

Also the main character, a lawyer is utterly wrong for the role and her evolution as a more caring person never believable.

That and along with the son of one of the main characters who goes through a transformative evolution at the speed of a bullet.

Too much slapstick and faux snobbery and a couple of other characters (the supposedly gay grandson marries a Muslim woman?) as filler with no purpose, much shouty bits and slapstick add up to an over the top movie which should have been a whole pile better.

The dialogue races and with subtitles it's hard to follow but overall not missing much.

I'd like more movies about old women but this would never be part of my collection. 5/10

Incredibly boring and pointless movie. Awful acting work as well.

Very cute Spanish movie. No explicit Lesbianism in this movie, just a lovely comedy. Don't believe the low rates. See this great movie and make your own judgement.

A charming if imperfect comedy of manners. Performed with a little too much gusto at times, but it still came across as sincere.

Major error with the Scots storyline though. Firstly, who knows what they wearing, but they'd not make it into Scotland wearing that get up. Secondly, Scotland voted firmly against BREXIT. Scots are very anti British/English.
