Como dos gotas de agua

Santiago is a principled man from the countryside who leaves his village for the city hoping to change his luck, carrying with him what locals call 'the drops of happiness.' Once in town he runs into Sebastián, a twin brother he never knew existed, and the two decide to trade places for fun. The switch sends them into a series of awkward, absurd and embarrassing situations as each brother copes with unfamiliar jobs, romantic entanglements and social circles. The film leans on misunderstandings and slapstick mishaps, keeping a light tone focused on situational comedy rather than darker consequences, and warmth.

Directed by Yahayra Garrido and created by Héctor Palma, Como dos gotas de agua was released in 2020. The family-friendly comedy stars Juan José Mendoza in the dual role, alongside Guillermo Quintanilla, Nicole Mayer, Monse Arana, local actors and Dyanis Gallardo.

The film had a limited theatrical release in 2020 and drew modest box office attention, largely appealing to regional audiences. It later briefly reached more viewers through digital platforms and word of mouth, and was available on regional streaming services.

Though not a global phenomenon, the movie became recognizable among viewers who enjoy mistaken-identity comedies, and 'the drops of happiness' line is repeated in fan conversations. Its scenes of twin-swapping gags and eccentric supporting characters have been shared on social feeds. It picked up a modest following at local screenings.

Critical response leaned toward mixed to negative, reflected in a 4.6/10 average from a small number of votes. Reviewers noted the film's straightforward humor, emphasis on class contrasts between rural and urban life, and focus on family ties and identity, even if many critics found the execution uneven among audiences.
