Synopsis
The Honest Candidate (El candidato honesto, 2024) is a Mexican comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Pipe Ybarra. A onetime idealist turned thoroughly crooked politician is running for president and lying through his teeth. On the eve of the vote, his grandmother lays a curse on him: from now on he physically cannot speak anything but the truth.
For a man who lives on lies, that's a disaster. At debates, in interviews, over family dinner, nothing but raw honesty comes out — about his rivals, his own schemes, and what he really thinks of the voters. Adrián Uribe carries the role on pure charm, turning every forced confession into a fresh public humiliation. The only question left: can you win a race without telling a single lie?
The satire takes clean aim at politicians and their promises, but it never lectures — it's a brisk, situation-driven comedy stuffed with cringe and quick gags. Good for an easy evening when you just want to laugh and switch your brain off. Stream The Honest Candidate (2024) online on iFILM.
