This romantic comedy centers on a group of friends who are about to break up because one of them is getting married. After discovering that the bride to be is not what she seems, they then have the perfect excuse to ruin her wedding. Through a combination of bombastic humor and ridiculous hijinks, Todas Menos Tú plays with the idea of wrecking a marriage while exploring how far the values of loyalty and friendship really go.

Samuel Douek, the founder and director of HMFF, had this to say about the film festival’s celebration. In 16 years of showing Mexican cinema to our community, we’ve seen the Mexican film industry grow in huge leaps and bounds, with a maturing level of storytelling that coincides with a large growth in audience numbers whose presence shows a love and respect for our Mexican film heritage. Still, through all that growth the essence of HMFF remains the same: fantastic Mexican cinema in luxurious movie theaters surrounded by strangers who become familiar via our shared love of this great art form, and the celebration of it all!
“Supporting cinema provides a unique perspective and cultural insight to U.S. audiences,” stated Andrew George, Sr. Media Analyst, Toyota. “We’re thrilled to remain a long-time partner of the Hola Mexico Film Festival as it continues to bring Mexican film and filmmakers to the forefront, showcasing films and themes of identity, history, and social issues in a way that resonates universally.”
