Directed by Luis Felipe Ybarra (Hermanos y Detectives, La Noche del Diabilito), El Candidato Honesto tells the story of a former idealistic leader turned corrupt politician who is cursed by his grandmother on her deathbed to only speak the truth. The movie is based on the Roberto Santucci movie, O Candidato Honesto. The Mexican version was adapted by Charlie Huevo Barrientos and Pablo Emiliano de la Rosa and is a hysterical variation of Liar Liar set against the backdrop of today’s political climate. El Candidato Honesto stars Adrian Uribe, Mariana Seoane, and Teresa Ruiz.
