About This Movie
Niños sobre pedido, directed by Raúl Ramírez, is this quirky Mexican comedy from the late '80s that really captures a certain absurdity of childhood. The pacing is kind of erratic at times, but it adds to the whimsical feel—not everything has to be tightly wound, right? The film dives into themes of childhood desires and parental absurdities, and there’s a charm in its practical effects that feels wonderfully dated. The performances are over-the-top, which fits the comedic tone but can be a bit much if that's not your vibe. Still, there's something distinctive about its approach to humor that makes it stand out from typical fare of that era. Not your standard family comedy, more of a bizarre exploration of wishes gone awry.
