Production

The film was produced by Atresmedia Cine, Familia Benetón 2 AIE, Bowfinger International Pictures, Esto También Pasará and Glow alongside SDB Films, with the participation of Atresmedia, Netflix, Mogambo, and Crea SGR, the association of Film Factory and backing from ICAA.[4] Shooting locations included Madrid and Gran Canaria.[5]

Release

Uncle Trouble +2 screened as the closing film of the 29th Málaga Film Festival on 14 March 2026.[6] Distributed by Beta Fiction Spain,[4] it was released theatrically in Spain on 17 April 2026.

Reception

Alberto Corona of eldiario.es highlighted a racist form of representation conveyed by the film, otherwise resenting "the feeling of watching several episodes of a series strung together without any sense of coherence" [rather than a film].[7]

Enid Román Almansa of Cinemanía rated the film 1 out of 5 stars, citing that the saddest thing was admitting that it was a single scripted scene that actually managed to bring a smile to the reviewer's face.[8]
