00:00Hello and welcome to Watch Mojo Español, I am Jackie and for this list we will be watching
00:13the top 20 of worst adaptations of cinema and foreign television in Latin America,
00:19so we will not be including remakes of Latin American movies or series, as is the case
00:25of Corazón de León, an Argentine film made in Colombia, Mexico and Peru.
00:32Number 20 Teletubbies, the British children's show on BBC and Teletubbies conquered children
00:40from all over the world with their colorful characters and their innocent universe.
00:52However in 1998 TV Azteca tried to replicate this success with its Mexican version called
00:59Teletubbies.
01:12Instead of being an official adaptation, the program was such a shameless copy that it
01:17even reached the courts.
01:19These Teletubbies were not only disturbing to the eye, but they also had a rather disturbing
01:26vibe , more of terror than tenderness.
01:30Finally the program was canceled before it could wreak more havoc on the minds of
01:36little spectators.
01:55The original series Revenge tells us the story of Emily Thorne, who arrives in the Hamptons
02:01with a single purpose, to take revenge on all those who destroyed her family and caused
02:07the death of her father, marking his life forever.
02:23The series kept its audience at the edge of the seat, but its Colombian adaptation ... not
02:29so much.
02:31Although the production stood out in cinematography, landscapes and had a good cast, fans of
02:36the original version felt that it would never match the impact of the American series.
02:41When replicating the same plot, it felt like a repetition in Spanish, losing the mystery
02:47and freshness that made the original famous.
02:49However, if you are new to The History, you will probably like it, since the plot is still
02:54attractive and intriguing.
03:10Number 18.
03:11Family Secrets.
03:13The American series Brothers and Sisters inspired two adaptations in Latin America, but the
03:19Mexican version was undoubtedly the least fortunate.
03:23Azteca TV decided to take a telenovela turn, focusing on the daughter of the family and
03:29on the multiple love betrayals of both hers and her mother.
03:42This change resulted in a much more dramatic and exaggerated story than the family conflict
03:48that the original version presented, which focused on the tensions after the death of
03:52the patriarch.
03:53The formula did not work, so it failed to get close to the success of the original.
04:13Number 17.
04:14A Family With Angel.
04:16Based on the successful American comedy Who's The Boss, which broke schemes by telling
04:22the story of a former baseball player who changes his life and moves to Connecticut
04:27to work as a key manager for a divorced advertising agency.
04:43Its success was such that it inspired three remakes in Latin America, but without a doubt
04:48it was this Mexican version that suffered the most criticism, because it did not capture
04:53the same spark and charm as the original.
05:10And although it had a moderate success, it ended up being canceled after a season, leaving
05:15its followers without a clear closure of the story.
05:19What a disappointment!
05:33Number 16.
05:34Rich Children, Poor Parents.
05:36The Colombian adaptation follows Alejandra, a 17-year-old girl, forced to return from
05:42the United States to Colombia, only to face a world of luxuries, betrayals and rivalries
05:48in which money is everything.
06:04Unlike the original series, Beverly Hills 90-210, a youth series that tells the experiences
06:12of two twin brothers who move to the luxurious Beverly Hills, where they must fit among
06:17the young millionaires, the Colombian adaptation leads the plot to a darker and more dramatic
06:24Although it found its audience, the changes in the story and tone distanced this version
06:49from the original, which makes it difficult to compare them.
07:01Number 15.
07:02La Niñera.
07:14A Mexican sitcom based on the successful Nanny series.
07:18Although this series had several adaptations in Latin America and none of them went well,
07:24this one undoubtedly was the one that took the worst part.
07:27Starring Lisette and Francisco de la O, this series tried to replicate the humor of Fran
07:34Drescher, but unfortunately it did not manage to capture the original essence.
07:52The audience did not forgive the lack of charisma in the characters and forced humor, which
07:58resulted in a low audience and severe criticism.
08:01After only 24 episodes, the series was withdrawn from the air.
08:05Very good reason for IMDb to give it a very low 3.9.
08:25Number 14.
08:26Emergency Room.
08:27This Colombian series follows the life of the doctors of an emergency room and explores
08:32their personal and loving work challenges.
08:35Does it sound familiar?
08:37Of course, because it is based on the famous American series ER, which marked an era on
08:42television and won 23 Emmy Awards.
08:54However, the Colombian adaptation did not have the same luck.
08:58The fans pointed out that they tried to combine elements from different episodes of the original,
09:04resulting in an inconsistent plot and too exaggerated characters.
09:09The result was a series of questionable quality that did not meet expectations and left
09:14the audience disappointed.
09:26Number 13.
09:27Perfect Lies.
09:37This Colombian-Ecuadorian series, inspired by the awarded and controversial American series
09:43of Nip Tak, sought to bring the life of two plastic surgeons to the Latin American screen.
09:49In the original, the protagonists face personal and professional challenges in a sophisticated
09:55and dark environment.
10:07However, in the adaptation they deviated the focus towards the drama with the wife of
10:11one of the surgeons, taking away the relevance of the doctors and the dynamism of their professional
10:16relationship .
10:17Important data from the script were not respected, so it was harshly criticized by the audience
10:23and before that, it was canceled after only 58 episodes.
10:36Number 12.
10:37Super Titlan.
10:38TV Azteca brings a version of the American comedy Superstar, adapting it for the Mexican
10:54audience .
10:55The original plot follows a group of employees of a supermarket called Cloud 9 in San Luis
11:01Missouri.
11:13The adaptation takes the formula of Superstar and fills it with very Mexican situations,
11:18but the audience feels that it is short compared to the original.
11:22The general opinion is that, although the plot promised, the execution failed to capture
11:27the same charm and humor, making it look more like an imitation without spark.
11:33Number 11.
11:34High School Musical.
11:35The Challenge.
11:36When Disney decided to bring the phenomenon of High School Musical to Argentine lands,
11:42the result was High School Musical The Challenge, the first film of the franchise made in Latin
11:48America.
11:49With an original script and 10 new songs, they tried to capture the spirit of the original
11:55and even had decent performances.
12:07But although there are some touches of originality, let's be honest, can anyone really fill
12:13Troy's, Gabriela's and Sharpey's shoes?
12:21Despite being a reinterpretation, it is almost impossible not to notice the similarities,
12:27including scenes that practically trace those of the original.
12:31The charm of this version is not compared to the impact that High School Musical left
12:35on a whole generation.
12:38Number 10.
12:50No Manches Frida.
12:51A movie with a good box office is not necessarily a good movie, and No Manches Frida is an example
12:58of that.
12:59Adaptation of the German Fatju Gute, which translates as Damn you Gute, the Mexican remake
13:12has received very harsh criticism for its sense of humor without originality, full of
13:17clichés with gender stereotypes and class, and also with a predictable outcome.
13:23This film in IMDb has a mediocre 5.5 out of 10, while Rotten Tomatoes gave it a sad
13:3113 out of 100.
13:37Despite all this for commercial success, in 2019 part 2 came out.
13:43As it could not be otherwise, it came out even worse.
13:56Number 9.
13:57Mis Años Grosos.
13:58Although the idea was that the series would develop in the 70s, such as the original
14:04That 70s Show, the tragic political and social situation that Chile suffered during that decade
14:17left little room to be represented in a comedy.
14:26That is why the studio decided to place the series towards the end of the 80s, having
14:30to change the situations, conversations and setting, thus taking away the essence
14:35that had made the original series a success.
14:39It is not surprising that the series has not taken off.
14:53Number 8.
14:543 Idiots.
14:55In 2009 it premiered in India one of the most successful films in the history of cinema
15:00of that country.
15:093 Idiots is about a trip of friends in which they self-realize, and despite the name and
15:15the comic genre of the film, they leave many lessons in the almost three hours of duration
15:21of the film.
15:22In the Mexican version, eight years later, however, they chose to focus more than anything
15:27on humor, which can go wrong when you just pretend to be funny.
15:32It turned out, according to critics, in a romantic comedy without originality.
15:45Number 7.
15:46Desperate Housewives.
16:02Nothing like grabbing one of the most successful series in the United States like Desperate
16:07Housewives to ensure that your remake will be well received, right?
16:17Well no, of all the Latin versions that were made of this American series, the one that
16:22suffered the most damage was that of Argentina.
16:25Despite having an incredible set and good actors, the public was not happy.
16:30Ironically in this case it was not for moving away from the original, but for having made it
16:36to the letter without having changed anything at all.
16:40I heard you're a plumber?
16:42But she was reminded that when it came to men...
16:45Do you think you could stop by later tonight and take a look at my pipes?
16:49Women don't fight fair.
16:50Sure.
16:51But she remembered that when it comes to men...
16:55Do you think you could come over tonight to take a look at my pipes?
16:59Women don't play clean.
17:02At the end only one season was broadcast and its rating was on the ground.
17:08Despite everything, IMDB gave it a generous 6.4, surely more for the argument of the original
17:16than for own merits.
17:18Number 6 Perfectos Desconocidos.
17:21The one who has not made a remake of Perfectos Desconocidos that throws the first stone.
17:26Let's put all our cell phones here.
17:30And then, for as long as the scene lasts, everything that arrives, messages called WhatsApps.
17:34We read them and listen to them all together.
17:37The Italian film in which a group of friends leave their cell phones in the middle of the table
17:42to show transparency and confidence has more than 20 adaptations.
17:48Obviously Mexico could not miss.
17:50The local remake was criticized for its lack of originality,
17:54because there were no changes with respect to the others, not even in the scenography.
17:59It was also pointed out for being a bad copy.
18:03In this long list of remakes, this came after the boom of the original
18:07and the other better-qualified versions.
18:11It was called worn out, completely unnecessary.
18:16Olive.
18:18Can I come in or do I leave?
18:19Number 5 Modern Family.
18:22It is possible that the Chilean mega chain has not stipulated all the complications
18:27of trying to adapt to the Latin taste a series like the American Modern Family
18:33in which very different families are reflected to the standard.
18:37We adopted a baby.
18:39Her name is Lily.
18:41Exciting!
18:42Just turn it off.
18:43I can't turn it off, it's who I am.
18:46The music.
18:47Yes, music.
18:48After having kept the series in a drawer for three years,
18:51when they finally decided to launch it,
18:53they changed a lot of the essence of the series for fear of the rejection of the public
18:58and for the differences in the laws of the country.
19:00What is the key to being a good father?
19:06Laura!
19:07How dare you touch yourself?
19:08No!
19:10You don't have children.
19:11The TV viewers took the series very badly and with good reason,
19:16because they received a version quite far from the original.
19:19For all this, it had only 24 episodes.
19:23Very sad.
19:24Number 4, as if it were the first time.
19:27I don't remember you.
19:30Excuse me.
19:31Bye.
19:33Are you crazy or what?
19:34Two years ago, Lucy had an accident and lost her memory in the short term.
19:38Don't you remember that she met you?
19:39The American, as if it were the first time with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore,
19:44is undoubtedly a classic of American romantic comedies.
19:49It marked a time for a whole generation.
19:52I think he's more than my friend.
19:55You're my boyfriend, right?
19:56Yes, ma'am.
19:57So, every day you help her to realize what happened
20:00and you wait patiently for her to be okay with it,
20:03then you get her to fall in love with you again?
20:05Yes, ma'am.
20:06Fifteen years after the original, they released an almost copied copy.
20:11The criticisms were very harsh.
20:14They pointed out the performance of Vadir Derbez,
20:16who played the same role as Adam Sandler, as an exaggeration.
20:20I'm coming, I'm coming.
20:21You can do it.
20:24I'm Diego, what are you doing?
20:25In addition, they even pointed out a bad editing,
20:28a hurry in the production,
20:30a mismanagement of the location,
20:32and a lack of essence.
20:33IMDb gave them a very disapproved 3.8, painful.
20:39Lucy!
20:42Do you remember me?
20:44Number 3, Gossip Girl, Acapulco.
20:47This series with the remake of the successful Gossip Girl from the United States
20:51tried to attract new public to Mexican television
20:55and tourists to the beaches of Acapulco,
20:58but it turned out to be destroyed in the media and in all social networks.
21:03Welcome to Acapulco,
21:06where my friends and I study, have fun,
21:09and do the honors of sex on the beach.
21:12Despite having a very good production
21:15and a recognized actor,
21:18the protagonists were rather unknown
21:20that they could not conquer the public.
21:23This added to the fact that the script wanted to paint Acapulco as something that is not,
21:28so after a long and painful season,
21:32this series was canceled.
21:34In this case, they did not give the work
21:37neither to translate the name nor to change the logo.
21:40Number 2, The Wedding of My Best Friend.
21:44What are you not understanding?
21:45I have four days to stop a wedding and steal my boyfriend.
21:48I don't know how I'm going to do it.
21:50It's just that since I've known him, Julia, this...
21:52The Wedding of My Best Friend is another classic of Hollywood romantic comedy
21:57and has Julia Roberts, one of the queens of the genre,
22:01and Cameron Diaz as protagonists.
22:11In Mexico, 22 years after the original,
22:14they decided to remake it.
22:16The critics were not missing.
22:18It was too much the same, but with less quality.
22:21It was also said that it was not modernized
22:23and that the most important thing is the tension between friends,
22:27the chemistry was not felt.
22:29On top of all this, the scene in which everyone sings
22:32Say a little prayer in the original
22:34is changed by the fact that the characters are not the same,
22:38Hey, we haven't reached the end yet, but we're almost there.

22:48Very well, let's go to the end.
22:50Number 1, Metastasis.
22:52From Walter White, we move on to Walter Blanco,
22:55who is the protagonist of the film,
22:57and who is also the main character of the film.
23:00In the original, he is the son of a rich family,
23:03but he is also the son of a rich father.
23:05From Walter White, we move on to Walter Blanco,
23:08who is the same, but he is not the same.
23:11And if you were a fan of the original Breaking Bad
23:13from the United States, you know what we mean.
23:16You're on to something special,
23:18and I would like to be a small and silent part of it.
23:22Released as a consequence of the euphoria of the narcoseries,
23:26but with a touch of originality,
23:28the Colombian version of Metastasis promised a lot,
23:32but the televidents consider that it was cut short.
23:35I'm very good at chemistry.
23:37Do you want to cook?
23:41You and me.
23:42Walter.
23:44Due to the poor reception of the public,
23:46the series was forced to an end,
23:48but not unexpected,
23:50after only 62 episodes broadcast.
23:54For all this, its rating on IMDb
23:57was a poor, very poor 2.5.
24:01How else are you going to make so much money?
24:04What do you want?
24:06I'm also tired.
24:07And do you agree with our selections?
24:09What was the worst adaptation for you?
