Santiago Segura's Bowfinger Productions Releases 'La familia Benetón +2' After Controversial 'Torrente presidente' Promo
La familia Benetón +2, a fresh family comedy film from Bowfinger International Pictures, has been released shortly after Santiago Segura's controversial work, Torrente presidente. During promotional interviews for his prior film, Segura made several provocative remarks, labeling journalists as having "this pedophile vibe outside a school" and referring to them as "sons of bitches." He also shared critical opinions regarding the transgender community in a heated discussion, later offering an apology. In another conversation, he mentioned his fondness for apologizing, declaring, "I'm happy asking for forgiveness, it's a liberation." These remarks stand in stark contrast to his usual modest public image, characterized by gentle, self-effacing comments. The new film adheres to the style of what some view as clichéd and uninspired comedy, following his previous successes.
