Laugh as much as you can

Spanish humor genius Santiago Segura comes back with a more refined and professional version of P.I. P.I (Politically Incorrect Private Investigator) Jose Luis Torrente.

This time, as the titles says, he leaves the dreadful streets of old Madrid and settles in the sunny city of Marbella in southern Spain. This change of background is noticed just reviewing the cast (featuring Supermodels like Inés Sastre, Esther Canadas). But Torrente remains the same, absolutely simple, eager to catch every woman near him, and of course very traditionally spanish. He's the funny Mr Hide inside everyone of us.

In this second movie very interesting characters broaden the plot of the movie, and a bigger budget make thee film more similar to a James Bond movie.

Unexpected situations, and spanish typical situations will make you laugh with no possibility to stop.

Don't miss the spectacular opening credits. They just deserve watching the movie.
