Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I just love an old style slap stick silly comedy and have never seen it done quite so well by a strong (and I must say most beautiful) female Latino group of actors. The last good foreign produced slap stick comedy that I greatly enjoyed was the 2009 India film titled "3 Idiots". I am a bit surprised at the below par average of 4.8 provided by the current 3,392 IMDb raters who viewed the film. I can only surmise that many of my fellow IMDb critics may have taken some offence to the three leading ladies namely Sofia Vergara (TV star of the very successful Emmy winning series Modern Family), Roselyn Sanchez (star of TV's Devious Maids), and recording artist Jaci Velasquez as being perceived/used as eye candy only. Sorry fellow viewers but maybe you need to watch the film a few more times to see how good the physical comedy is in this film. Just the varied humorous arguments and facial expressions by the four leading actors are worth the price of admission alone.I for one felt that Sofia Vergara's role as Cici the hot waitress who is one of the three lovely ladies being wooed by handsome hunk and jet setter Thomas Fuentes (played by the only male star Eduardo Verastegui) was silly enough to make it believable that she would fall into the trap of the male gigolo Thomas Fuentes. It was no surprise to me that Ms. Vergara's stardom has continued to rise as does most men's blood pressure when they see her. My summary statement above that the film Chasing Papi is a female version of the great Three Stooges (Curly, Larry and Moe) also assisted the producers in selecting Ms. Vergara to star in the 2012 comedy remake of The Three Stooges.Singing artist Jaci Velasquez most likely agreed to join the cast as the spoiled Patricia, the rich kid daughter of wealthy parents who also falls for Thomas, just to use her acting role to expand her audience and assist in boosting her record sales. She did an admirable job but her limited acting roles subsequent to making Chasing Papi would indicate to me she preferred to focus her attention on her singing career.Eduardo Verastegui who plays the playboy Thomas Fuentes does an admirable job in keeping his audience's attention that maybe there is a redeemable reason why he chose to date three hot Latino ladies in three different cities simultaneously. The psychiatrist that Thomas goes to see can't quite put his finger on why Thomas chooses to date three hotties simultaneously so he does what any good American doctor would do….he prescribes tranquilizers for Thomas to take. Thomas is then pursued by an attractive FBI agent named Carmen (played by Lisa Vidal) who is actually chasing some criminals and a bag of cash. To our surprise as Carmen continues to holds Thomas captive in her car while giving chase to his three lovely ladies she is able to quickly diagnose why Thomas is dating the three ladies concurrently. I don't want to have to add a spoiler alert so watch the movie and find out what has driven Thomas to date Cici, Patricia and Lorena all at the same time. Hey, I believed Carmen's diagnosis so why shouldn't you? Last but not least I must comment on the silly and playful role by the most beautiful Roselyn Sanchez as Lorena, who is a bespectacled lawyer who also falls for our playboy Thomas. Through the many misadventures experienced by the three Latino lovelies I felt Roselyn's role was the most revealing of both her acting chops and her natural beauty. Her many facial and physical expressions are so natural it is easy to see how she can transfer between dramatic and comedic roles so easily. If I had to pick one star who shone through it would have to be that or Roselyn's role as the bespectacled lawyer who is also smitten by the gigolo Thomas.In summary, the film Chasing Papi makes for very light viewing, with some good musical and dance numbers thrown in for good measure. But make no mistake; there is a decent enough plot and sub plot to this film that should keep most couples entertained throughout. I especially liked the ending because there were no losers. Everybody wins. Certainly there are no Academy Award winning performances here to speak about but I did enjoy the film and would recommend it to friends and family. It is probably not worth a higher rating than a 6 but I will give it an 8 to help counter some of the lower than expected scores this decent film was awarded by others.8/10

I have to give it an 8 because I absolutely love Eduardo & Sophia!! It's the first time I was introduced to them!!! The scene with Cici dancing with Tomas is breath taking!! I agree that Eduardo comes across as stiff but to me that makes him even hotter. It's like he doesn't realize how hot he is. He's one of those men who looks better NOT smiling.To me, Tomas came off as a guy who really did like all three women. He was genuinely interested in them!! He wasn't just looking for a piece of A... That's what made the film so sweet. Even the dog had a crush on him!! Some of the jokes that I really enjoyed were when Fala & Cici were talking about Cici going to LA & Fala says "Get your toes done!!" When Cici sees the woman detective & says with her nose crinkled up "She's not that hot!!" It was so sincere & sweet.My favorite scene I think aside from the dancing is when Tomas is walking in the airport & the old black woman drops her suit case handle. Tomas leans down & hands it to her in one swoop & she says "where were you in 32!!" OMG I love that scene!!! He's one of those men you can just stop & stare at forever............I lived in Miami for a bit so I think it takes an appreciation of Latino culture to be able to enjoy the movie!!! Whenever I answered the telephone in Miami with my mid western accent, people would exclaim!! You speak English!!!!!!!!!! ' The movie is very G rated with tons of T & A & blonde extensions!!!

the movie is good.if you're the type of person that is left brained, feminist, anti social, too smart for your own good, or racist. you probably wont like the movie.look, the movie is fun. its just to entertain you for a couple hours and thats it. you wont have a life defining moment. you wont sit back and ponder the question of life. the movie is just simple fun. and, it has 3 beautiful latinas. :) just fast forward to see them if it helps.if you find yourself complaining about this movie here, take a step back and think. "im i a loser?" i think 5 is a fair score. it wasn't forrest gump/braveheart. but then again it didn't make you want to drink bleach.

I can't sit still to watch many movies. Yet, this one I could. Reason number one, three hot latina women. I love latina women. Reason number two.. ehh none. It is pretty entertaining. Each of the three women have very distinct personalities. One values beauty, the other education, and the other culture. Also each one is from a different city. The man, Tomas is dating three different women. Somehow all three women end up at his house, when he trys to explain his situation, he falls out under a tranquilizer pill he took before. Then the women see a 4th woman looking in the house, and think she is a 4th woman. She is really an FBI agent. The movie's good points are some animated cut scenes which you cant tell if they are geared for kids or adults, some Spanish words. I enjoyed that given I am almost fluent in Spanish. The end gets somewhat cartoonish... I won't spoil it. But if you like Spanish culture, or pretty latina women, you should not be bored with it, also it is kid friendly.
