No Manches Frida (2016)
After his release from prison, bank robber Zequi sets off to recover the stolen money that was buried by his dizzy accomplice. He's horrified to learn that a high school gymnasium is now standing over the site where the loot is stashed. Needing to infiltrate the building, Zequi lands a job as a substitute teacher for a group of wild and unruly students. As the ex-con tries to lay down the law, he starts to realize that life in jail may have been easier than trying to deal with rebellious teens.

this movies is just a cheap ripoff of a German movie trying to copy instead of being inspire by it, and just putting curse words on it just to try to make it funny. besides is just a bunch of movie clichés that have been done way better. save yourself some time. and go watch something better unless you are the type of guy that likes Adam sasler movies cause this one is just like that
Looks like I'm the lone wolf so far on this site as other reviewers liked this movie. However, I was hard pressed to find any laughs in this raunchy and farcical Mexican comedy, which, as others have noted, is filled with slapstick humor as well. Often, I just found the humor to be cringe worthy, and as it progressed I kept checking how much time was left before it was finally going to end.Omar Chaparro stars here as an ex-con, just released from prison after serving a 13 month sentence for bank robbery. However, he soon will discover a local school has built a gymnasium over where his stripper friend had hid his money (must be speedy construction workers). So naturally, he'll soon be hired as a substitute teacher at the school, where he'll become a "role model" for the wild and delinquent students there during the day, while he drills through the gym floor at night to try and get to his money.All in all, as is so often the case, just trying to be shocking and raunchy doesn't necessarily equal funny, and I could only find a couple of chuckles here in this film.
I just watched the movie and I spent a good time at it. It's a remake of the German film "Fack ju Göhte" just tropicalized for the Mexican environment -not without some inconsistencies by the way. The film is mostly fun but let's say that I have never known of a school like this in Mexico. It is not just the kind of circumstances depicted in the movie, I mean the school itself -don't try to find one like that in Mexico. Nevertheless this factors do not affect too much the general smiles and laughs that it pretends to deliver. I cannot speak for the international audience that could see this film but from the point of view of the mexicans, even though it is plagued of silly jokes and fault language and situations, it is a film that you can enjoy if you are in the mood. Definitively not the most funny picture I've seen but it worth the ticket. Have fun.
Although this movie is a remake of a German film, I give this a 100%. We should be proud of this film, this film is entertaining and gives a good message to the youth now a days. I was not disappointed, it over passed my expectations. This is a perfect family movie, just watch out with the language, it's a bit explicit. The acting on this film was excellent, and don't get me wrong the cast was great!!! I've seen their movies before and have seen their acting, not disappointed. If you really put your mind into the film you will notice it will give you mixed emotions. I hope they make more movies like this in the future, I wouldn't mind watching them at all, by the way I saw this movie twice and I plan to go watch it again ha ha so please consider this film!!!!
