About This Movie

So, 'How to Be a Modern Man' is this 2023 comedy that really plays with the clash of old-school values and contemporary life. You have Andres Cuadrado, this guy who's basically stuck in a time warp, working as a civil servant. He takes everything so seriously – like, painfully so. The film does a nice job of poking fun at his conservative views while also giving a nod to the absurdity of bureaucratic life. The pacing is a bit uneven, which kind of mirrors the chaos of his life. Practical effects? Not much in that department, but the performances stand out. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You can't help but be intrigued by how he navigates this modern world he doesn't quite understand.

Engaging exploration of old vs. new values.Notable performance by the lead actor.Some pacing issues, but worth a watch.
