Truly Dreadful Film

Let's be realistic.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The movie is a benchmark for future Dominican films, it incorporates the society in a way that hasn't been done before, definitely looking forward to Lotoman003 which seem to be causing quite a commotion in the island. The truth is that for me this was necessary, a comedy which inspires unity in families but also portrays the hardships people face with different adversities and how to go about them, similar to the drama we face on a daily basis. If you are a Spanish speaker you should watch the movie, if you are Dominican you should watch it even more. Latins all over have enjoyed it. I write this review from the bottom of my heart, I have been truly moved and feel very proud of my country to see things like this coming together, so don't waste more time and check it out for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

It's amazing how movies have become so empty and lack character and a positive message for the younger viewers, this wasn't the case with Lotoman. It honestly showcases a series of beliefs that people have regarding money and what that will do to their lives and help it make it better. This movie is a true example of how family and love comes over all. I truly recommend it as a film to watch with family. If you are Dominican like myself you will also find a lot of insights which will transport you to the island. I have 25 years since i left the island and it was like going back. I have a lot of high hopes for Dominican films and looking forward to watching "Lotoman 2.0" in the next days.

When you watch this movie: its cast, acting, story line, and you think you are going to watch something equivalent or competing with even a B-Hollywood style movie, you will be disappointed.However, if you are a Dominican, specially if you are a Dominican living abroad, this movie will seem like going back to your beloved motherland. And yes, though the acting and the story line are suspect at best, for us Dominicans, this comedy hits home. It makes you laugh and it makes you cry... it makes you be... well, a Dominican! Our customs, our values, our priorities, our crazy families, the "barrio", the "tigueres", the "motoristas", the girls with amazingly large "behinds", the Bachata, Merengue, our food... and so forth. It is all what makes Dominican Republic, Dominican Republic! Any suggestions made to the producers regarding improving the acting and the story line, should be seriously considered. There was a lot that could have been made different in this movie. Yet again, if you live the lives these two guys were living in, all this seems, well... "naturally Dominican" to you.So, for Dominican filmmaking, which is an endeavour that is still a work in progress, LotoMan gets a 7 for effort!Lic. Dawlin A. Ureña Montás

My goodness. I never thought a ?movie? could be this bad. What a waste of my precious time!The storyline, well it doesn't exist. It's a long TV sketch. Really bad writing, acting, editing... Just horrible. I stayed throughout the film because I was with my girlfriend and she had been anxious to watch it. She was also disappointed. Next time, I'll wait for something better like "Tres al rescate" or The butcher's son (La soga).Dominican directors should see good movies first and learn from them. We're not going anywhere if we continue delivering such a bad example of filming
