Reception

Gregorio Belinchón of El País assessed that the first 60 minutes are the best in the series, but as soon as Segura "opens his hand, multiplying cameo appearances and launching physical jokes, the gear assembly explodes".
Alberto Corona of eldiario.es assessed that in all the film's "laziness and automatism", it can be assumed that even Santiago Segura is already quite tired of the formula, "tedious to the point of delirium".
