The highly anticipated sequel to the successful film I’m Going to Have a Great Time now has a title and release date. I’m Going to Have an Even Better Time will be released in theaters on July 18, taking viewers back to the warm summer of 1991. This new installment, which promises a mix of comedy, music, and romance, follows the Pitus as they navigate the complexities of teenage love and friendship at a summer camp.
A sequel that seeks to look more deeply at the era
Unlike its predecessor, I’m Going to Have a Better Time not only highlights the iconic music of Hombres G, but also includes a variety of emblematic artists from the era, such as Antonio Vega, Duncan Dhu, and Chimo Bayo. The original soundtrack will be composed by Alejandro Serrano, which promises to revive the musical essence of the 90s and offer the audience a nostalgic journey through the melodies that defined an entire generation’s adolescence.
The film is directed by Ana de Alva, who makes her debut in this role, while the script is once again by David Serrano. The cast reprises their roles, including young actors Izan Fernández, Renata Hermida, and Michel Herráiz, along with well-known actors Raúl Arévalo and Karla Souza, who repeat their roles in this sequel. The narrative also expands to include Mexican culture, connecting Spain and Mexico through music and establishing a dialogue between the two cultural realities.
With a premise that combines nostalgia with teenage experiences, I’m Going to Have a Better Time is shaping up to be a refreshing escape to the past, perfect for summer. The combination of comedy and romance, along with a carefully curated musical selection, promises to capture both fans of the first film and a new generation of viewers eager to relive the summers of their childhood.
