The Boy Who Smells Like Fish (2013)

The Boy Who Smells Like Fish: Directed by Analeine Cal y Mayor. With Douglas Smith, Zoë Kravitz, Carrie-Anne Moss, Ariadna Gil. At first glance, Mica seems a perfectly normal boy. But first glances can often be deceiving… For one, Mica’s house is now a museum honouring Guillermo Garibai, the legendary Mexican crooner. Mica spends most of his time there, giving guided tours to aging Garibai fans. But stranger still, Mica smells. He smells like fish. Numerous doctors, his life-long therapist and even his own parents are at a loss. No one wants to be Mica’s friend. Girls won’t talk to him. His life appears pointless, uneventful, doomed. That is, until Laura walks into it.

“This movie is like an unfulfilled promise – the premise is interesting, but it does not do much with the subject. While it comes from the main characteru0026#39;s social awkwardness, it is way too slow in some points and gets repetitive after some time. The best character is the mom, her sunny disposition is just adorable. However, she does not appear after the first 25 minutes. It is mostly a pointless movie: a boy meets girl story, where nothing interesting or funny happens on the coupleu0026#39;s way of finding each other. Itu0026#39;s to watch in the background while you are doing something else but I wouldnu0026#39;t actually recommend seeing it.”
