Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

jakayoh okay right off the bat Im like they don't get to drive off in the brand spanking new BMW do they??? Im like if the story is true to the title then that would not happen baby!!! But alas, they did get to so I was like okay then, sell the bloody thing for whatever its worth right? (like 40 g's) put half of it in a long term savings account to collect interest. Then both look for employment living off the 20gs(frugally)all the whilst living in a small bachelors and truly go from rags to riches!!! And yes Im not padding the lines just to make up for the three lines that Im missing. I truly think that it is not an authentic rags to riches but it makes for an interesting story here. Especially valuable is the inherent lesson here: In this materialistic society we live in it's refreshing in my opinion to see an attempt to imbue a sense of moral responsibilities to the younger "I" generation! For example Paris Hilton wannabe's.

quiereuna_calle I enjoyed this movie.It may not have the most amazing acting but I can tell the people in it are having fun. I loved the slices of Mexican/American culture. It is a pretty clean comedy compared to most PG- 13 ones. The expanded rating gives the reasons for the PG-13. It is a unique variation of the Jane Austin movie it is based on. I think the parts in Spanish are much more entertaining if you know Spanish. Although you can still enjoy it even if you do not know Spanish. If you know nothing of LA or some Mexican traditions this is probably not the movie for you. I liked it more for the culture and the moral lessons. I would watch this movie again which is a lot to say since most movies fail to entertain me after one sitting.

shannoncarrasco2 After a day of packing we decided to settle in and watch a movie before calling it a night. I'd like to give this movie only one star, but I did sit through the entire thing, after all. Aside from the horrible acting from the two main characters, the only thing that stood out to me were the horrible spray tans the two girls had. I've seen pictures of both of these actresses without a spray tan and they are both quite beautiful when they are not orange. It was just odd. It was nice seeing "Fez" again...he's come a long way since his days on That 70s Show :) Man...ten lines of text? OK...what else can I say? The movie was just not very good.

fluffchop This movie has characters all over it, some with ridiculously short skirts and way too high heels. It has elements of a culture completely unrelated to my country, Australia, yet the peoples emotional connections come through clearly. I've known ethnic groups and come from half Italian one myself, enough to be able to recognise the clarity of the writing with respect to the beliefs and customs of these Mexican people living in LA. I have been to LA but didn't go to East LA apart from some fast food stands in Glendale ;) but the murals and artwork, the street appeal of it all is right there in this movie. It's very real and not just pandering to a pc crowd of wannabe humanitarians, it's the real deal. At the same time it's light hearted enough to be a romantic comedy but deep enough to capture some real human emotion. As I said in my title, it's much better than you'd think it will be. Damn girl that dress is short!
