Rom-Com With a Touch of Mental Health, 'My Boyfriend's Meds'

4/25/2020

Bringing the romance and the comedy to a multi-personality disorder sounds intriguing, especially for a Spanish language film. We're not saying it hasn't been made or that it's non-existant. Mental Health is stigmatized in society and Hispanics are no exception. Though not exactly the heart of the story, this film does include a touch of reality many of us are familiar with, mental health disorders. We're definitely adding this one to our quarantine watch list.

Heres the scoop.

Sandra Echeverría and Jaime Camil star in the romantic comedy Las Pildoras de mi Novio (My Boyfriend’s Meds). Jess (Sandra Echeverría) is a talented, high-powered marketing executive at an upscale tequila company who begins dating Hank (Jaime Camil), a charismatic mattress store owner she meets while shopping for a new bed.

Written and directed by Diego Kaplan (Desire), this film includes guest appearances by Grammy winner, Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Jason Alexander and Golden Globe nominee Brooke Shields.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
Sparks fly when marketing exec Jess (Sandra Echeverría) meets Hank (Jaime Camil), and when Jess invites Hank to accompany her to an island resort for a business retreat, he accepts. But when they arrive, Hank discovers he’s left behind the array of meds he secretly takes to manage his multiple personality disorder.

As Hank tries to keep a lid on his increasingly crazy behavior, Jess must choose to follow her head or her heart in this raucous romantic-comedy featuring appearances by Jason Alexander and Brooke Shields.

From Lionsgate, My Boyfriend's Meds will be available on Digital and On Demand April 28.
