Something Huge

About This Movie

So, 'Something Huge' is this quirky comedy from 2017 that takes a rather unique twist on the coming-of-age trope. The protagonist, Dani Tomás, played by Berto Romero, is a middle-aged screenwriter who’s hit that mid-life ennui, you know? He gets this bizarre news about needing to redo eighth grade due to some legal mishap, which throws him right back into the chaos of adolescence. It’s got this authentic feel, blending nostalgia with the awkwardness of reliving those formative years. The pacing is a bit off at times, but it works, giving you space to really soak in the absurdity of his situations. The performances are quite solid, particularly Romero's, capturing that blend of humor and pathos. It’s distinctly Spanish in humor, and there's something refreshing about watching a character navigate these silly, yet relatable challenges.

Interesting take on age and maturity.Berto Romero delivers a solid performance.A unique blend of comedy and nostalgia.
