Macho is a 2016 Mexican comedy film, directed by Antonio Serrano and starring Miguel Rodarte, Cecilia Suárez, Aislinn Derbez and Renato López.
Paul Julian Smith describes the film as a "post-homophobic comedy";[1] it is an example of the new wave of Mexican LGBT+ cinema.
Reviewers also view the film negatively in comparison to Serrano's own earlier gay-themed film, Sex, Shame and Tears (which also starred Suárez), and condemn its vision of women as being "objectified for the straight male viewer or vilified".
[1] Smith says that the film's genre is "confused" and that it veers between "social critique, farce, and romantic comedy".
[1] He concludes that while it is relatively modern in theme, the handling of the gay narrative is no more advanced than the 1970s sex comedies.
