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.
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".
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".
