Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
A traditional reality show, THE MONTANERS tells the story of the Montaner family through their concerts, artistic careers, and personal lives. The family is led by singer Ricardo Montaner and his wife Marlene, but much of the dramatic dynamic of the series relies on their children: Ricky and Stefanía Roitman, who plan to get married in Buenos Aires; Mau and Sara, who want to have children and have doubts about how the recurring musical tours take time away from their family; and Evaluna and Camilo, who are expecting the birth of their baby Indigo.
Is It Any Good?
Christian faith and family bonding are the central themes of the reality show that also has a lot of staged drama and oversized conflicts to add tension to the story and trap the viewer's attention. The Montaners unsurprisingly features marketing for every member of the Montaner family: Ricardo, his wife Marlene, and their three musician children (Ricky, Mau, and Evaluna) accompanied by their partners (Stefanía, Sara, and Camilo, respectively). But viewers will also see that all the musicians in the family are talented and their affection is genuine and contagious.
Notably, The Montaners shows Latino diversity and champions that we can all live together despite cultural differences: the parents are Venezuelan, the children are Venezuelan raised in Miami, Florida, and married to Argentines (Stefanía) and Colombians (Sara and Camilo). There's an emphasis on Christian values (the family's faith) and on the importance of family bonding, although a religious difference is not an obstacle to the marriage of Ricky to Stef (who's Jewish). The key is love and respect. Perhaps the lack of drama makes The Montaners a bit boring, but it's sure to arouse interest among fans of these popular musicians.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about how The Montaners shows a family made up of members of different nationalities. Are Latinos from different countries very similar or different from each other?
The Montaner family does a lot of activities together: barbecues, canoe rides, and trips in a van. How do you think this helps the family bond?
Ricky is Christian and Stefanía is Jewish; can a married couple combine both faiths? How can they reach agreements about the religious upbringing they will give their children?
