‘The Unexpecteds’ – A well balanced comedy with an endearing cast.

Published

on

When a group of friends discover they were scammed into a frivolous investment, they band together to recoup their money with the help of a special force agent, who happens to be the estranged father of one of their friends. The Unexpecteds is a well balanced comedy that hits every punchline with a cast that has heart. It inspires hope and redefines what it means to be a supportive father, mother and friend. Believers are not schlubs.

I had a chance to meet up with Alejandro Montoya Marín, the director and writer of the comedy – action film The Unexpecteds. Marín discussed how he came up with the storyline, and the influences that helped him develop the characters. Joining in the conversation were cast members Chelsea Rendon (Pati), John Kaler (Metal Mike), and Alejandro De Hoyos (Felipe Fuscas), who is also a producer of the film. Marín and De Hoyos also recount about how Kevin Smith got involved as an executive producer, which is truly captivating.

The Unexpecteds is available to purchase or rent on Prime Video and Apple TV.

Sabrina "Kiddo" is a contributor of movie, television show and film festival reviews. Her passion for film derived from her college days where her rhetoric-writing professor focused on the aspects of screenwriting and music lyrics. She also has a knack for memorizing and repeating movie quotes and catchphrases.
