La Chilindrina en apuros

La Chilindrina (María Antonieta de las Nieves), a girl from a vecindad in Mexico City, known for her mischievous behavior in the sitcom El Chavo del Ocho, travels to a city on the west coast of Mexico to claim a jewel that she inherited from a distant relative. She is accompanied by her great-grandmother, Doña Nieves, another character from El Chavo also portrayed by De las Nieves. During the trip, Doña Nieves gets lost and La Chilindrina must continue on her own, discovering that one of her distant uncles, a clumsy gangster-like man, has stolen the jewel she is claiming. == Cast ==

The film received mixed to negative reviews, with Spanish website FilmAffinity giving a score of 3,3 out of 40 reviews, with a critic arguing that De Las Nieves's age no longer fit the image of a mischievous girl. == Legacy ==

In March 2023, Jerry Quiroz of Univision, wrote that the scene between De las Nieves and Chabelo, started rumors about a bad relationship between both, with subsequent events over the years confirming or contradicting this view. In a TV show by Verónica Castro, De las Nieves and Chabelo were invited to the program, at one point exchanging tongue-in-cheek and strong-worded "jokes" which appeared to be insults between both. However, their relationship improved by 2008, when they took part in a Children's Day show and in 2015, when De las Nieves attended the last emission of En Familia con Chabelo, of which Chabelo was host. On that same note, Quiroz highlights that despite a rocky relationship between De las Nieves and Gómez Bolaños, she thanked him in the film's credits for granting character permission for her to portray La Chilindrina in the movie. == References ==
