Working with Mexican superstar Omar Chaparro over these last years remains a highlight of my career as a producer/interviewer. Beginning with Pulling Strings through the No Manches Frida films, he's not been anything but a formidable comic force, but beyond the funny, he's also articulate, personable, and sincere, on and off the screen.
It seems like a world away, but we shot the interviews and BTS footage of Y CÓMO ES ÉL in 2018 while on location in Puerto Vallarta and CDMX. Again, the pandemic would shelve this winning bro-mantic comedy starring Omar Chaparro, Mauricio Ochmann, and Zuria Vega until 2022. But it did see the light of day, deservedly so.
Chaparro remains one of Mexico's brightest talents, a true renaissance man who matches the charisma of Eugenio Derbez and then some. Seeing Ochmann playing the straight man to Chaparro is also fun, especially as he evolves out of his rigid shell to be more like his romantic rival-slash-friend, despite their attraction to the same woman, the wife of Ochmann's character.
Seeing the completed film made producing this featurette special as it reflects what the movie does best, knowing who its audience is and delivering an entertaining time. If you see it on streaming platforms, I highly recommend it. (And keep an eye out for the divine comedy star Consuelo Duval's riotous cameo as a prostitute who great left hook.
Featurette produced by Monkey Deux, Inc. for Pantelion.
