Busco Novio Para Mi Mujer (Seeking Boyfriend for My Wife) has some funny stuff going for it. Sandra Echeverría (Dana) is wonderful as the nagging and nitpicking wife to Arath de la Torre’s (Paco) character. Jesús Ochoa who plays “El Taiger,” an unlikely well-known neighborhood lothario that is hired by Paco (de la Torre) to whisk his wife (Echeverría) off her feet and out of the marriage.

Arath de la Torre described the “Taiger” character as a metaphor, like an angel who comes to help their relationship. Both actors do theater but love doing films much more, because film lives on forever.
Echeverría, who is a producer on film, joked that Arath is Mexico’s Jim Carrey. Since he’s very happy making films in Mexico and not in a hurry to make a change or a move into the U.S. film world.
