El Chanfle (1979) is a Mexican sports comedy starring Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Chespirito), known for his comedic brilliance. The film follows Chanfle, the humble and loyal equipment manager for the América football team, who dreams of having a child with his loving but overly protective wife, Tere (Florinda Meza).
Chanfle's life takes a comedic turn as he becomes entangled in a series of misadventures involving the team's coach, players, and management. From misunderstandings and slapstick humor to heartfelt moments, Chanfle’s earnest personality and good intentions inadvertently cause chaos, both on and off the field. Despite the hilarity, the story carries messages of honesty, humility, and the importance of family.
El Chanfle blends sports with Chespirito’s signature humor and has become a cult classic in Mexican cinema, beloved for its wit, charm, and timeless appeal.
