Review: Basic technique for filtering out lousy movies: The cast contains 2 or 3 people you almost always enjoy, stars 1 person you've never even seen in a movie but heard of from another entertaintment field, and you've never heard of the movie before. According to imdb.com, this 3-year-old stinker put an end to Thalia's movie carreer, and that's about the only good thing I can say about it. A rambling script and misguided direction (both on the part of the same person) waste the talents of Paul Rodriguez and Danny Aiello (who barely appears). The other performances look more like half-baked read throughs. The fact that the opening sequence is supposed to take place in New York City at Christmastime, but people are running around in short sleeves should tip you off right away. Don't even think about taking a chance on this one.

Summary: fantastic
Review: i have purchased this film and have seen it because of the mexican pop music diva thalia and i was happy the story line is good compared to other big budget hollywood movies that only get 1 star or 2 this is a independent low budget film and the star thalia had done this film because she would start from the bottom instead of the big budget screen, thats what she has sed that a true movie star must begin from the bottom on this film she has done a good job it is funny and entertaining so if you feel that you are tired of the big budget hollywood films and want to see a independent film with a great comedy story line wich independent film have i recomend this film and hope you enjoy it as much as i have i recomend the (DVD) format better it contains more features behind the seen's and interviews with the stars

Summary: Comical, Romantic, Action-packed, Inventive A hidden Gem!
Review: In 2002 I saw several big-budget films, which left me feeling disappointed and angry. Great entertainment indeed can be found in huge movies like Spiderman and Lord of Rings II; however, quality entertainment can also be found in small-budget movies like "Mambo Cafe"--a hidden treasure, which presents the U.S. Latin experience in a hilarious manner through comical characters and funny situations! This movie has several engaging subplots, but my favorite is the protagonist's (Thalia's) romantic struggle in a land which sometimes values materialism rather than love in its purest form. Some critics may say that the movie satirizes the Latin Community by presenting stock (cliche) characters, which ridicule Latin people; however, I am Latin, and never once did I feel insulted. On the contrary, I was laughing and smiling from beginning to end. It was hilarious to see Latin people in hyperbolic and highly-improbable situations and the comical manner in which the characters dealt with these conflicts. Thalia's accent might be distracting, but her problem with the language barrier is justified in the story line masterfully. I highly recommend this movie. If you liked "Real Women Have Curves", you will surely love "Mambo Cafe"! Bring a smile to your day! See this movie!

Review: This is a very cutsey movie. Thalia is beautifull in this and the cast is really good. It doesn't have a huge plot, but that of the cafe and their family and getting it to work one way or another. It's cute and funny. You should definitely sit back an relax for this movie.
