Rating: Summary: Fun Comedy Review: I expected this movie to be awful and was pleasantly suprised to find it fairly entertaining. It definitely doesn't deserve four or five stars because the plot is bad and it's really corny. I still enjoyed it, though. It had it's funny moments and since I was in the mood for this kind of comedy, I enjoyed myself. I mainly watched it to see Jaci Velasquez act (she is one of my favorite Christian singers), and was happy to see she does have acting talent.
Rating: Summary: very nice.. Review: I'll be honest I got this because I wanted to see Jaci Velasquez (I am a fan of her music). I thought this movie would disappoint because of the title and a pre-conceived notion that I had. But I was surprised. This movie was a fun comedy that made me want to live my life more, plus get some golden highlights for my hair. You should see the syles and the haircolors...perfect, simply perfect.You have 3 females who are with the same guy, but they don't know it yet. The day they meet each other is when their lives begin to change. All through the movie all I saw was people that I loved, admired or just plain envied, like Roselyn Sanchez, my girl Jaci Velasquez, Lisa Vidal, Walter Mercado (I don't pay attention to horoscopes but he's good), Ivette Sosa (from edens crush), Ian Gomez and so on. my only complaint is Eduardo Verastegui, of all the men out there they had to pick him. My god that was a wrong choice, to me this man isn't sexy, ya know. This film isn't deep or profound just simple fun, this is a movie you can't take seriously.
Rating: Summary: Interesting but not good. Review: I'm glad that the Latin market is growing fast and strong and I was thilled when I heard about this movie. So when it came out I bought it and found it interesting (you wouldn't get board with it) but I felt that it was made to be successful. I mean that because it's "so good and funny" that you feel that "look for success" vibe. About the cast I can say that Sofia Vergara isn't just a pretty face and body, she does it very good. Jaci Velasquez shows that besides having a beautiful voice she can also act good. Roselyn Sanchez is also very good. Finally about Eduardo Versategui I think that he was chosen because of his looks because he doesn't work good at all and I think that maybe because of that he sleeps during almost the whole movie. The story is about a guy (Verastegui) who has 3 women. One in Miami (Vergara), another in New York (Velasquez) and the other in Chicago (Sanchez). Because of his job he spends time in the 3 cities and his home in Los Angeles. Any of the girls know that they are not the only one. But one day they all decide to go to his house in Los Angeles because they heard in a Walter Mercado show (a very famous latin psychic) that women should be alert because their husbands or boyfriends could cheat on them. So at his house the find out the whole story but they can't do something about it at that time because the love of their lifes is sleeping because he took some sleeping pills because of his stress with the three of them. The story has a twist when a police woman starts to chase them because she thinks that they're delinquents. The movie didn't have a lot of success but it's ok, funny and all that but not good.
Rating: Summary: Fun but Not A Lot of Substance Review: Linda Mendoza's comedy Chasing Papi is light pleasant looking fun without a lot of substance. The film is interesting because it is an entirely Latino effort. The cast as well as the production crew are all Latin. The film follows the life of Thomas Fuentes who finds himself in love with three women in three different cities. There is CiCi the hot blooded Miami waitress who longs to be a dancer; Lorena the Chicago lawyer who reads poetry and is uncertain of her attractiveness and Patricia the New York debutante trying to break away from her family. The plot develops when all three women show up at Thomas' home. What follows is a slapstick comedy that finds the women learning who they are and what their heritage means to them. As an empowermrnt film the movie falls short on story. The slapstick elements take over and devices like plot are forgotten, As eye candy all three women are spectacular and large parts of the last third of the film turn into a scream and jiggle fest. But hey that not really a bad thing in this kind of film. All in all its light entertainment and worth a look .
Rating: Summary: lite film with some Fun&Hot chicks Review: the film is pretty lightweight on a whole but it has a nice charm with a well known Hollywood cliche in film making.I applaud the effort.the chicks in this Film are Happening Babes Fo SHO.but there ain't much to the Film but it has some fun to it.
Rating: Summary: Bubbly Blather Review: The only thing going for this Latina chick flick is the eye-candy appeal of its stars, since the plot is a ludicrous rehash of an old formula. Charming Tomas (Eduardo Verastegui) has three girlfriends living in different American cities, who, of course, decide to surprise him all at once, only to discover the existence of the others. Severe lawyer Lorena (Roselyn Sanchez) is gorgeous once she removes her glasses, while hot chili Cici (Sofia Vergara) understands the power of cleavage. Add pampered rich girl Patricia (Jaci Velasquez), throw in a drug money subplot that brings in yet another beautiful woman (Lisa Vidal) as the FBI agent, and you've got the full range of this silly movie. Its theme of female empowerment is overshadowed by lots of shrieking, running around, and ridiculous plot turns. This is one of those movies I can't believe I actually watched. I gave this flick an extra star simply because of the charisma the performers bring to their slender roles. Men wanting a glimpse of these actresses in sexy garb and women looking for a silly women against the world flick won't be disappointed - as long as they aren't looking for an interesting plot.

Rating: Summary: Cute but fluffy Review: They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. How about three women scorned all teamed up? Or is that too frightening a thought? Either way, it's the plotline of "Chasing Papi," a by-the-numbers but fairly cute comedy. Papi (Eduardo Verástegui) is one of those guys who oozes charm and appeal like sweat -- just walking through an airport makes women lust after him. And as many guys in his place would, he has girlfriends -- three, in fact: Patricia (Jaci Velasquez), Lorena (Roselyn Sanchez) and Cici (Sofía Vergara), and claims to adore all three of them equally. Of course, he can't keep comic potential like that hidden. And it doesn't. His bone-headed error comes when he invites all three girls to the same town, and they find out about each other -- they run out of their rooms in matching lingerie to his home, all at the same time. Not surprisingly, when the girls find out, they're not quite as "open-minded" as Papi about this little love rectangle. Meanwhile, they somehow get attached to a bag of money and are being trailed by the FBI and a band of thugs. "Chasing Papi" is such a featherlight, unabashedly cute movie that it's hard to really dislike it -- at least, it was hard for me. I wanted to dislike it, but somehow I didn't. It was cute, that's all; its biggest flaws were probably the thinness of the plot and the sometimes stereotyped characters. But it is very funny much of the time, if you can overlook those. (Plus, you'll want to see Papi's backside kicked by the very high heels that Our Heroines wear) Verástegui doesn't play Papi as a rat, but viewers will want to see him get what he deserves. Velasquez, Sanchez and Vergara are all cute and funny. They did spend a lot of time strutting in sexy clothing, at least they are not doing so in a crude way, but rather a sort of display of feminity. (A lot of movies could use tips from "Chasing" on that score) Lisa Vidal and the two thugs were a bit flatter and less appealing. One problem is a bit of a lesson that is attached to each girl -- I felt it bogged down the plot a little to be presenting us with these. And viewers who like their comedies a bit more complex, or a bit more original, will probably not like it. I did wish that things were a bit harder to predict or figure out, because about ten minutes in I knew what was going to happen. Basically, "Chasing Papi" is an entertaining but unsurprising diversion -- it's about as light and floaty as cotton candy. If you're in the mood for unabashed brain fluff, this might be sufficient.
