Storyline
Valentin is Acapulco's resident playboy, until a former fling leaves a baby on his doorstep and takes off without a trace. Leaving Mexico for Los Angeles to find the baby's mother, Valentin ends up finding a new home for himself and his newfound daughter, Maggie. An unlikely father figure, Valentin raises Maggie for six years, while also establishing himself as one of Hollywood's top stuntmen to pay the bills, with Maggie acting as his on-set coach. As Valentin raises Maggie, she forces him to grow up too. But their unique and offbeat family is threatened when Maggie's birth mom shows up out of the blue, and Valentin realizes he's in danger of losing his daughter – and his best friend.

I just came back from seeing the movie of Eugenio Derbez" Instructions
not Included ", and the truth is, it's great!! Excellent performance
from Derbez and the little girl. It's one of those movies that you go
out happy to have seen! Congratulations to Derbez, great job! Currently
the Mexican films are giving very pleasant surprises for the audience,
which in many times have not believed in the talent and scope of this
new generation of filmmakers, this movie is going to win many awards
and you will see that. At first I thought I would see a movie more than
the classic that the mother will take away the kids from the father but
no, this story is amazing. Actions and measures are great! I love this
movie!!!!
