“The Valet” Review!

Director: Richard Wong

Director Richard Wong and screenwriters Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher have teamed up for their latest film, "The Valet," which is about two different personalities and a fascinating twist on a classic troupe they lead in the film. It sometimes struggles under weight, and that should be enough.

Antonio (Eugenio Derbes) is a wallet in the center of Los Angeles, while Olivia (Samara Weaving) is an actress who appears on every billboard in the city. The two have nothing in common, they only meet when Antonio hits his bike in the car that Olivia is stepping on. However, as Olivia's relationship with a married billionaire (Max Greenfield) turns up, Antonio turns out to be the perfect fake lover, and their unexpected relationship changes by accident. As Wallet and the actress get closer, they realize that they have a lot to learn from each other.

The basic theme of the wallet is central, but it does not touch on the surveillance efforts involving Antonio's large family, the threat of sedition around Antonio's neighborhood, and Olivia's lover's wife (Betsy brand). They are all the same as the extra storylines found in "The Valet", yet not everyone gets the development they deserve. As they work to enrich this world, they may get some missteps when the screenplays of Greenberg and Fisher focus on them. While focusing on the growing relationship between Antonio and Olivia, "The Valet" is strong at its core, and it will take some time to really roll.

When it goes well, it gives its heart to "The Valet". Director Wong takes a brief introduction beyond the surface level and examines who Antonio and Olivia are. Their relationship, although it may have started as a deal, is remarkably balanced in the sense that the two have something to offer each other. Actress Weaving portrays Olivia's gradual breakdown around Antonio, and it's hard not to sympathize with the privileged actress for her inner insecurity. As Antonio, Derbes wears his heart on the sleeve. He transcends the boundaries between comedy and drama well, and Antonio uproots anyone. An important scene near the end of "The Valet", where Antonio needs some development that will delight the audience. Among the supporting cast, Greenfield continues to prove that she excels at acting as a jerk, and is absolutely delighted to be the Randy mother of the late Carmen Salinas Antonio in one of her last roles.

Director Wong adds an extra layer to "The Valet" by allowing Antonio and his family to speak Spanish. While the film does not dig deep into racial issues, it does acknowledge that there are differences between LA's elite and its immigrant communities. Added to "The Valet" that it remains a touch from some other entries in this category. "The Valet" is not a perfect movie, but its elegance helps to aggravate any issues that may arise.

As a result, "The Valet" is a great time for anyone looking for a little heart and laughter. The relationship between Olivia and Antonio proves to be a more real and touching. The whole cast helps to elevate the material further, and the extra cultural touches add more depth to the plot. "The Valet" may take a lot at the same time and slow down a bit at first, but it's successful as a heartfelt exploration of friendship and family.
