Maikol Yordan Traveling Lost

If you are from Costa Rica or got to know Costa Rica pretty well, themovie is quite funny and understandable. Otherwise, most of the plot is not interesting.

The four comedians named "La Media Docena" (Edgar, Mario, Erick and Daniel) are well known in the country, for they have been for several years in Costa Rican theaters and more recently in TV, in a half-an-hour program named after the group, made up of shorts about several fictional characters, each with peculiar features. Their clean gags, usually free from sexual contents, have awarded them wide national acknowledgement.

"Maikol Yordan" is also part of their characters, a peasant looking downtown (San José) for any job available; his naïveté makes him ask for specialized jobs he knows nothing of, thus developing absurd conversations. Those talks often include puns only Costa Rican people would understand, as they refer about regionalisms, everyday chat or fashion topics in Costa Rica. The movie also relates to them, thus confusing foreigners.

In short, my vote is 10/10 as the movie was addressed to Costa Rican people, highlights traditions and provides lots of funny situations Ticos are familiar with.

And as hurtful as it may be for my Costa Rican ego, the movie most probably won't have the massive support it had in Costa Rica, placing it as the most seen movie ever in Costa Rican cinemas.
