, when the students of José Urbina López Primary School first meet new sixth grade teacher Sergio Juárez Correa, they’re shocked he’s lying on the floor. The young cast got their own surprise when they realized the man on the floor was comedy superstar Eugenio Derbez.
“I love true stories,” Derbez said. “When I go to the movies and it says, ‘Based on a true story,’ I love that.” And this story addressed another passion of his: education. He first heard about the school when he saw a story on Mexican TV about a 2013 article in, “A Radical Way of Unleashing a Generation of Geniuses” by Joshua Davis. The report centered on one of the students, Paloma Noyola Bueno, who was referred to as “the next Steve Jobs,” Derbez said.
With a chance to tell his own true story, Derbez really wanted to tell the truth. The first step was to have Correa on set, acting as a kind of fact-checker and advisor. “I was always asking him, ‘How am I doing? Am I being accurate?’ I didn't want to exaggerate anything or do something that was unreal, and he was always on set, telling me this and that. Everything you see on set was in some way supervised by him.
