Super Crazy (film)
Super Crazy (Spanish: Re loca) is a 2018 Argentine-Uruguayan comedy film directed by Martino Zaidelis (in his directorial debut) and written by Zaidelis, Andrés Aloi & Sebastián De Caro. It is a remake of the 2016 Chilean film No Filter. Starring Natalia Oreiro. It was released on July 5, 2018, in Argentine and Uruguayan theaters. Plot 
Pilar (Natalia Oreiro) lives in an apartment in Buenos Aires with her not-very dedicated husband Javier (Fernán Mirás) and her adolescent and irresponsible stepson, Nicolás (Lucas Pose), works as an agent creative in an advertising agency and will soon be forty years old. Pilar leads a monotonous and exhausting life, which usually improves a bit when she talks to her ex-boyfriend Pablo (Diego Torres). However, Pablo is about to marry Sofía (Gimena Accardi), who hates Pilar. His neighbor, Guillermo (Walter Cornás) throws loud parties all the time, and his stepson doesn't go to school and spends all day bringing friends into his apartment. Her best friend Valeria (Pilar Gamboa) ignores her problems and doesn't listen to her because she keeps an eye on her phone. At work, her boss, Alejandro (Agustín Aristarán) considers that Pilar is outdated to the world of social media and hires the young influencer Maia (Malena Sánchez) to work with her to relaunch the advertising campaign that was the most successful of Pilar's career fifteen years ago. Maia annoys Pilar by taking her place in the company parking lot and later humiliates her during a labor meeting by upstaging her and nullifying her proposals. After this, Pilar emotionally collapses when her car is impounded for being improperly parked. Although Pablo agrees to help her by taking her to the bar where he works, Sofía takes the opportunity to demand that Pilar stay away from her fiancé. While returning home depressed, Pilar meets Fernando Salaberry (Hugo Arana), an old man who is doing an "exercise to purify his soul" next to a bridge. Salaberry listens to her problems and tells her about a ritual she can perform to wake up the next day a completely different person, facing her problems. Indeed, Pilar performs the ritual and wakes up being a carefree and direct person. He tells Javier what he thinks, breaks the window of Maia's car when she parks it back in its place, has a heated argument with Alejandro, and finally quits his job after forcing him to apologize for the treatment he has received from him. After meeting Pablo and Sofía, he insults her and flirts with Pablo in front of her. In a later meeting with Valeria, he destroys her phone in retaliation for not paying attention to him. Upon returning home, he forces the gas company employee to fix his hot water and violently expels Javier and Nicolás from his apartment after finding the latter filming a pornographic film in his room. She savagely beats a taxi driver for assaulting her on the street and then rebuffs Maia, who was trying to convince her to work together after a video footage of said attack was made viral. However, the peace found by Pilar after her release is broken when her direct attitude begins to cause her problems. After confessing to Pablo that she still loves him, she severely reproaches him for having left her at the instigation of her mother and now wanting to marry Sofía, a very similar controlling woman, using hurtful words and terms that seriously damage their friendship. She also quarrels with her sister for letting her cat, whom she had promised to take care of, die. Returning to his apartment, he burns down and destroys his neighbor's car in response to his refusal to end one of his parties, ending up spending the night in jail. The next day, she locates Salaberry and seeks him to help her return to the way she was before. But the old man tells her that he hasn't done anything, that Pilar has everything in her head, being able to control her impulses whenever and however she wants. After Maia tries to convince her to work together with another viral video, Pilar suggests that she can be her assistant. After that, he makes peace with his sister by giving her an adopted cat. In her apartment, Javier and Nicolás sincerely try to reconcile with her and, although Pilar appreciates their apologies, she ultimately decides that they should end their relationship on good terms. Finally, she decides to go to Sofía and Pablo's wedding, ready to fix things with the latter. During the ceremony, she notices that Sofía has controlled the entire organization, not accepting any of Pablo's ideas, although Pilar admits that her ex-boyfriend seems happy anyway. Deciding that she does not have to participate in the event, Pilar leaves the place alone. The film ends with Pilar driving, listening to the radio, and laughing wildly. Cast
