In a world that often rushes past the quiet miracles of everyday life, You’ve Got This (original Spanish: Ahí te Encargo), the 2020 Netflix gem directed by Salvador Espinosa, arrives like a gentle reminder to pause, laugh, and open our hearts. This Mexican romantic comedy isn’t just entertaining—it’s a soul-nourishing celebration of love, compassion, kindness, and the profound joy that comes from embracing children and family, even when life throws unexpected curves.

The plot is brilliantly simple yet deeply moving. Alejandro (Alex), an advertising creative with a big heart and an even bigger dream of fatherhood, is married to the ambitious, career-driven lawyer Cecilia (Ceci). Their marriage is loving and solid—until the question of kids becomes the elephant in the room. Ceci’s rising star at her firm leaves no space for motherhood in her plans, while Alex yearns for it desperately. Then fate intervenes: Alex ends up temporarily caring for baby Alan, a little one whose mother faces unimaginable challenges. What starts as a secret, chaotic attempt to hide the baby spirals into hilarious mishaps, emotional confrontations, and ultimately, a transformative journey of growth, compromise, and unconditional love. The story masterfully balances light-hearted comedy with poignant moments, showing how an “unexpected guest” can challenge and ultimately strengthen a relationship.

The screenplay by Tiaré Scanda and Leonardo Zimbrón is sharp, heartfelt, and refreshingly respectful of real-life complexities. It flips familiar rom-com tropes with grace, giving equal weight to both partners’ perspectives—her dedication to her career and his longing for family—without villainizing either. The dialogues sparkle with natural wit, cultural authenticity, and tender vulnerability. Lines that mix humor with raw emotion land perfectly, making you chuckle one moment and reach for tissues the next. It’s comedy that feels earned, rooted in genuine human struggles rather than cheap gags.

Mauricio Ochmann shines as Alex, bringing warmth, goofiness, and quiet desperation to a man who’s equal parts charming and flawed. His portrayal captures the universal ache of wanting something deeply while navigating love’s compromises—making Alex utterly relatable and endearing. Esmeralda Pimentel is equally captivating as Ceci, portraying a strong, independent woman with nuance and depth. Her journey from resistance to embracing motherhood feels authentic and empowering, never forced. The supporting cast, including the adorable baby Alan (who steals every scene he’s in), adds layers of charm and heart. The chemistry between Ochmann and Pimentel is electric—playful, passionate, and profoundly real—making their evolving bond a joy to watch.

At its core, You’ve Got This is a beautiful ode to the themes of love and kindness. It explores how true love thrives on compassion, understanding, and sacrifice—not perfection. The film radiates love for children in the purest form: the protective, selfless kind that blooms unexpectedly and changes everything. Through Alan’s presence, it reminds us of the innocence, vulnerability, and transformative power of welcoming a child into our lives. Themes of compassion shine brightest in moments of crisis—the quiet acts of care for a struggling mother, the forgiveness between partners, the willingness to adapt dreams for the greater good. It’s a story that honors both ambition and family, showing that kindness bridges even the widest divides.

The comedy is delightful—goofy mishaps, workplace chaos, and family antics that keep the energy light and uplifting. Yet beneath the laughs lies a spiritual depth: the idea that life’s greatest gifts often arrive unannounced, teaching us empathy, patience, and the courage to evolve. The ending is satisfying and hopeful, affirming that with love, communication, and a little faith, we can find harmony between personal goals and shared dreams.

In an era of cynical storytelling, You’ve Got This stands out as a feel-good triumph—charming, emotional, and spiritually uplifting. It’s the kind of film that leaves you smiling, reflective, and grateful for the people (and little ones) in your life. If you’re seeking something that warms the heart while delivering genuine laughs and meaningful messages about love, kindness, compassion, and the beauty of parenthood, stream this Mexican treasure right away.

You’ve got this—and so does love. Watch it, feel it, and let it remind you of what’s truly important.
