Full Plot Details

Valentin is Acapulco's resident playboy womanizer, until a former fling, a young American named Julie, leaves a baby on his doorstep and takes off without a trace. Leaving Mexico for Los Angeles to find the baby's mother, Valentin ends up finding a new home for himself and his newfound daughter, Maggie. An unlikely father figure, Valentin raises Maggie for six years, while also establishing himself as one of Hollywood's top stuntmen to pay the bills, with Maggie acting as his on-set coach. As Valentin raises Maggie, she forces him to grow up too. But their unique and offbeat family is threatened when Maggie's birth mom, Julie, shows up out of the blue after six years after turning her own life around and wants full custody of Maggie, and Valentin realizes he's in danger of losing his daughter - and his best friend.

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Annlee EllingsonThere's a lot of movie here with unexpected developments, held together by the irresistible chemistry between Derbez and his adorable pint-sized co-star.
Arizona Republic - 7/10 by Bill GoodykoontzSome of the comic bits are a little too broad and silly, but Derbez, in his feature debut, makes Instructions Not Included a balancing act more successful than it should be.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Michael O'SullivanThe film’s counterintuitive success is largely due to Derbez, who demonstrates why he is beloved, both south and north of the border.
McClatchy-Tribune News Service - 5/10 by Roger MooreThe ending of the movie is a real grabber, the sort of thing that lifts and improves a tediously long and otherwise mediocre film and tricks you into thinking it was better than it really was as you leave the theater.
Variety - 4/10 by Joe LeydonInstructions Not Included is a sporadically amusing but unduly protracted dramedy that slowly — very slowly — devolves into a shameless tearjerker during its third act.
User Review - 10/10 by beinghumanComedy drama and the whole range of emotions in between; the story has definite cultural characteristics that make it more powerful if understood. However, the conflict of values generated by the plot -a single, freedom loving beach bum in Acapulco faced with the responsibility of raising a daughter, traveling to a country he does not understand, and forging a happy life in the face of the most devastating adversity, is universal and should touch everyone's heart. When an artist has the inspiration to move the audience from laughter to tears he has accomplished his goal of touching people's lives. The critics have spoken, now the public is raving! A masterpiece of a great comedian. Go see it for yourself. Highly recommend it.
User Review - 10/10 by salart50This movie is really good hope you guys can see it.
User Review - 10/10 by lidiav15This movie was good from beginning to end. I love it. I hope everybody enjoys it as mush as me and my family did. Don't forget to take some tissue ur going to need it.
User Review - 10/10 by websweverThis movie has the emotional intensity of BELLA, the humor of JUNO, and the social ramifications of KRAMER vs KRAMER. (I know I have watched a good movie when a year later, I scan the video store shelf and I can remember the plot of the movie. Trust me,you will remember everything from this film.) Loved the line sincerely expressed by a friend to the new Mexican father, "You better learn English so you can understand your American baby when she starts speaking." Don't let the subtitles keep you away.
User Review - 10/10 by RUSOFAPGAR2001Great movie, very few movies make me cry an laugh at the same time, if you consider the $5 million budget, this movie is great hit, its a "must see" movie, in any language, in any country, you will get the message, Highly recomended.
