Reviews

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Lizzy m This movie is about a teenage boy living in Puerto Rico, named Emilio, who grows a crush on the his school's most popular girl. I admit, I sounds cliché, but the humor, characters, crazy plot line, and moral of the story is what makes this such an adorable film. Basically, he tries to run for school President in order to impress his crush, with the help of his loyal and hilarious group of friends. One of his friends overhears the girl chatting with some other girls, and soon discovers that she is also running for President. So Emilio is now running against the girl he likes, uh oh.. The movie is goofy and stupid, however that's what makes it so great. The movie knows how silly it is, with it's dramatic mission impossible theme to it and ridiculous characters. The art of stupid- comedy is no mistake, but yet is often misunderstood as a mistake. Also, if you are a non native Spanish speaker who is currently trying to work on their Spanish comprehension, is is a great movie to practice with, for the dialogue isn't too hard to understand (warning: there is quite a large number of cursing, if case you're not all into that). I watched this in my Spanish 4 AP class a while ago, everyone in my class was glued to it, and we all cracked up throughout the film. I was shocked of how entertaining it was, and everyone else in my class seemed to grow fond of it as well.
adkulak11 My Spanish class teacher put this film on for us once when we had no other assignments to do that day. Naturally, I went into this film with low expectations, thinking it would just be some slapstick comedy film with references that I, an American, would not get. I was sorely mistaken. The chemistry between the 6 stars is impeccable, and the performance of the frustrated principal is hilarious. I'm not sure how many times the "run-for-class-president-to-impress-the-girl" story has been done, but this is the movie that does it perfect. If you are looking for a good, wholesome laugh, grab this movie, turn on the English subtitles, and enjoy.
alex-nawoichik This Puerto Rican movie is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. While it may seem childish at first glance, it serves a grander purpose, and sends an endearing message and moral to all of its viewers.What is the message? That love is tricky, as Emilio finds out, and even though you may believe that one girl is the girl of your dreams, sometimes true love is right beside you the whole time. Also, this movie shows viewers the importance of staying loyal to close friends. This movie has ever aspect of a captivating film - a hero, a villain, and a wonderful ending that features a moral that the viewers can take in, and apply to their own lives. The evil Principal Richardson certainly adds a sense of unpredictability, especially when the group of friends are in the computer lab, changing results of the voting.
rpmorales This movie was a fascinating look at modern day life in a Puerto Rican high school. It is funny and witty with great young performers who carry the movie brilliantly from scene to scene. It is a great family movie that all members can enjoy yet the message to young people about love and the loyalty of good friends is well presented without falling into a moralistic trap.Too bad Puerto Rico doesn't produce more gems such as these. If it did Puerto Rico would be a world leader in film production for markets in the US, Latin America and Europe. Once this sleeping giant awakens look out!!!
