Rating: Summary: 2 stars for cameos Review: A dull dull movie that perpetuates stereotypes of latinos in the US and abroad. I was very bored with this movie and found the plot to be very insulting. I enjoyed seeing some of my favorite latino actors and performers on the big screen, but for a somewhat mainstreamed movie that one can buy in target, I think it's just a shame.
The whole cast was pretty much of Latin America origin, but that did not do much to glorify latinos as capable and deserving actors on the spotlight. The plot and dialogue dehumanizies and insults many.
Rating: Summary: This was a horrible and stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid movie Review: From beggining to end i was wincing in pain about how unfunny and stupid the movie was. Maybe I don't get it because i'm not latino, but then again i find most latino comedians and actors very funny and entertaining, so it just must be this bag of crap.
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: 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: 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: What a piece of sh**!! Review: This is the worst film i've seen in a long, long, long time. As i was sitting through this so called movie waitig for the credits to start, i found myself in mindnumbing agony. So i will not go in to the details of how stupid and just plain unfunny "Chasing Papi" actually is, because it would be just to painful (I'm not kidding). I urge anybody who is considering to rent or even buy this "movie" not to do so. There are plenty of other stupit comedies out there that don't make you whant to blow your brains out.
Rating: Summary: Quiero Entiendo Espanol, Mi Amor! Review: This movie has something for everyone. It's kind of a "girl movie," but the guys won't notice; they'll be too busy drooling, as the films stars three DYNAMITE Latin women! Other people have called this film mediocre, or not so funny, but as a red blooded male, I didn't notice. I was too busy falling in love with the female cast.
Rating: Summary: I can't believe some of these negative reviews. Review: What's the matter with some of you people? This was simply just a fun film to watch. No seriously intricate story, and no offensive content. It is truly a latina "babefest", and who wouldn't enjoy that? Just like the director Linda Mendoza said: Her intention was to make a film simular to the typical american comedies of the sixties, where everybody looks good all the time, some scene-linking animation thrown in, and some split screen scenes where two people are talking to each other (on the phone) at the same time. I truly appreciate her intentions on how she made this film. I hope Linda Mendoza does another film with the same chemistry.
Roselyn Sanchez, Sofia Vergara, Jaci Velasquez, Lisa Vidal, and various latina unknowns make this film long-lasting, fun-filled, eye candy!
If gorgeous women and slapstick comedy doesn't interest you, then perhaps you should avoid this film. Maybe you should stick to watching "Star Trek" or watching long-winded, grainy, black & white World War II documentaries or what ever else it is that you enjoy that makes you different from normal people who know how to laugh and enjoy the simple things in life.
Films like this promote "libido awareness", and I'm all for that! You know, I still have a pulse. I'm not dead yet!
