Reviews
"Hen Pecked" has received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.7/10, indicating a generally unfavorable reception. Many viewers appreciate Paco Martínez Soria's comedic timing and his ability to portray a beleaguered husband with empathy and humor. However, the film has been critiqued for its dated gender stereotypes and simplistic plot. Commentators have noted that although the film delivers occasional laughs, its humor may not resonate well with contemporary audiences due to underlying themes that have since become outdated. On forums and Spanish cinema retrospectives, "Hen Pecked" is often categorized as a nostalgic piece reflecting 1970s Spanish popular comedy rather than a timeless classic. There is limited coverage from major review aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, suggesting it did not achieve international critical prominence. Overall, the movie is regarded as a period-specific comedy that appeals primarily to fans of classic Spanish cinema or those interested in Paco Martínez Soria's work, rather than a broadly acclaimed film.
