Reception
Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave the film 40 points ('bad'), citing the "lack of wit, poor performances, dysfunctional humor and shameless product placement" as the film's worst.[10]
Pablo Vázquez of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, declaring it "a sparkling vaudeville" that ultimately offers "a consequent reflection on time and its tolls".[11]
Rubén Romero Santos of Cinemanía rated the film 1 out of 5 stars, writing that "one can only think that this franchise and its recalcitrant defense of an obnoxious family responds to a conspiracy to reduce the Spanish population and increase the demographic winter".[12]
