One night, when Olivia is getting into her Uber with Vincent standing next to her, Antonio crashes his bike into the car.

Fearing he will lose his company if his wife Kathryn divorces him, Vincent comes up with a plan to have Olivia and Antonio pretend to be a couple.

John Serba of Decider called The Valet a funny and heartwarming film and compared it to Notting Hill, stating it avoids to be a formulaic romantic comedy film, praised the interactions between the characters and their development, and complimented the performances of the cast members.[14] Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com rated the film three out of four stars, complimented the humor of the film and the performances of the cast, and praised its take on the treatment of workers by the upper-class across gentrification.[15] Jennifer Green of Common Sense Media rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, praised the depiction of positive messages, citing friendship and self-respect, complimented the presence of positive role models, stating the movie promotes integrity and humility across some of the characters, and found agreeable the diversity of the cast members.[16]

Jacob Oller of Paste rated the film 7.9/10, applauded the screenplay for its approach on feminism and multiculturalism across Derbez and Weaving's characters, complimented The Valet for its modern humor across its gags, stating it manages to be entertaining without relying on pop culture, and praised the actors for their performances.[17] Rachel Labonte of Screen Rant gave the movie a three out of five stars review and found it to be a refreshing romantic comedy film, stating the lead characters manage to both be interestingly developed across their relationships while the movie approaches the harsh treatment of immigrants by the upper class, praised the performances of the actors, and declared it manages to be entertaining across its genuine humor despite saying some subplots are not developed sufficiently.[18]

The tropes in play in "The Valet" are those of culture-clash romcoms, where two people of different backgrounds have to somehow reconcile and merge their worlds. The movie also belongs to that very satisfying sub-category of romcom where two people have to, for whatever absurd reason, pretend they are a couple. But "The Valet" is quirky enough that the "romcom" label stops making sense pretty early on. The film walks a delicate line. It's impossible to invest in the two main characters "getting together" in the traditional sense, and, to its credit, the movie seems to feel the same way. Directed by Richard Wong, "The Valet" is entertaining, thanks mostly to the talented cast, but it tries to do way too much, loading the characters down with sub-plots and sub-sub-plots, not to mention a commentary on class differences and the gentrification of Los Angeles neighborhoods. "The Valet" loses focus and momentum on occasion. But in general, Wong understands the tone this material needs: it's light-hearted and loose enough that poignancy and depth have space to play.

Derbez has been around for a long time, working in television and movie projects in both Mexico and the United States. His 2013 film "Instructions Not Included" was a runaway hit, both in the United States and internationally, making the kind of money first-time directors barely allow themselves to contemplate. Derbez just recently appeared in Best Picture winner "CODA." He's the center of "The Valet," which he also produced, and he's believable as a good man trying to do the right thing, trapped by circumstances beyond his control. He's funny, but it's never pushed. Samara Weaving, so wonderful in "Nine Perfect Strangers," has an excellent comedic sensibility. Her Olivia is truly awful ... until she's not so awful anymore. Weaving makes that transformation make sense.

"The Valet" could use some trimming. Some sequences are often repetitive, and the peripheral characters are sometimes more interesting than the two leads. The film resonates with deeper messages: the damage done by gentrification, the abyss between the haves and the have-nots, the poor treatment of workers by elites. You don't expect a romcom to explore these issues. But "The Valet" does. It works.

Parents need to know that The Valet is a remake of a French film and stars Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez as a humble parking attendant who is thrown into a new world of celebrities and wealth. The film draws a lot of contrasts between wealthy, individualistic, mostly White people and the Latinos who serve them. The tight-knit Latino family speaks Spanish at home and celebrates their own heritage and their struggles to make a better life for themselves and their children. The main character demonstrates integrity and humility in his treatment of others and the values he lives by. There's some sexual content, mostly innuendo and kissing as well as one simulated sex scene observed by two men. People are in their underwear. Adults drink and smoke, and a movie star passes out from mixing alcohol and pills. Language includes "s--t," "bulls--t," "a--hole," "bastard," "hell," "moron," "son of a bitch," "stupid," "dumb," and "Jesus Christ" (used as an exclamation), and someone mouths "f--k."

In THE VALET, movie star Olivia (Samara Weaving) is caught by paparazzi leaving a hotel with her lover, mogul Vincent (Max Greenfield), and a scheme is hatched to match her with a different boyfriend, parking valet Antonio (Eugenio Derbez), as a cover. Antonio is embarrassingly out of place in Olivia's world of red-carpet premieres and fancy restaurants. And the pill-popping, under-fed celebrity is a novelty among Antonio's tight-knit family and friends. Meanwhile, Vincent's wife Kathryn (Betsy Brandt) is convinced he's cheating on her and hires a private investigator (John Pirruccello) to follow him. Vincent's lawyer (Alex Fernandez) hires his own PI (Ravi Patel). Also, Vincent's company is planning a new construction that will close down many local businesses in Antonio's neighborhood. And all Antonio really wants is to get his ex-wife (Marisol Nichols) back.

This remake may be predictable and formulaic, but the combination of actors and the blend of humor with sweetness lift it a notch above. The Valet could have been satisfied to just play on class and cultural stereotypes around the two main characters. It does this, and to especially funny effect thanks to Derbez's comic talent. A scene where he's confused ordering at a fancy restaurant, then mistaken for a waiter, is priceless, as is his sudden hero status among the working class. Another scene where he and his buddies stop to pick up fast food while whisking a passed-out movie star away from her film premiere is also hilarious. Their no-nonsense behavior of paying in all one-dollar bills, stashing ketchup packets for later, and discussing the special speed limit for Latinos contrasts comically yet poignantly with the celebrity's self-imposed woes. Played by veteran Carmen Salinas (before her death in 2021), Antonio's elderly mother's insistence on discussing her sexual desire with her mortified son is another running gag. 2351a5e196
