Summary: Awful, Ridiculous
Review: This is just another proof that Latin American talent is....in Latin America and not in The USA. Sofia Vergara and Eduardo Velastegui actors??? The movie itself is nonsense, ridiculous, and plain dumb. Everything evolves around an average looking guy that the director tries to sell to the audience as the most handsome guy on earth, when again he is average! It's a shame that people from other cultures have to watch this and they may assume this is the best Latin America cinema has to offer. Want to watch a good Latin American movie? Then ignore this one and go for "Amores Perros", "The Crime of Padre Amaro "Ratas, rateros y ratones", or anything from Spain's Almodovar such as "Atame", "Talk to Her (Hable con Ella)", "All About my mother", etc. Do yourself a favor and don't watch this "Chasing nothing" as it lacks talent and credibility just as Ricky Martin and his quickly forgotten misinterpretation of Latin American music.

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.

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.

Summary: Poorly Written Script with Three Good Leading Ladies
Review: Though too fluffy and light-weight, 'Chasing Papi' is not as awful as some opinions might suggest. Produced by none other than 20th Century Fox, one of the major Hollywood studios, it has enough budget to create the colorful looks and joyful soundtracks. Sadly, the film just doesn't know the right way to use three surprisingly refreshing Latina-American actresses, and that's the real problem.

Well, but I think the opening chapters are awfully bumpy. Think about this. Thomas is dating three women at the same time; a Chicago laywer wearing glasses, a street-smart Miani cocktail waitress, and a rich, sheltered, spoiled daughter in New York. Normally, this kind of guy cheating women, well-meaning as he thinks he is, is called Romeo, and I suppose most women would despise him, but because this Romeo, or Thomas, is so irresistible, the three women cannot stop thinking about the possibility that SHE is the only one meant for him. I wanna ask whoever gave the green light to this project -- are you living in the 21st century?

But to be fair, that is only the introduction, and wait a while. The real point of the film is the ad-hoc coalition to get over the embarrassing situation (like Thomas fainting and an FBI agent watching it!), which eventually develops to the friendship between them through joining in a beauty pagent or dacing on the stage.

The film uses up its tricks pretty early on, and funny moments come very sporadically. In fact, the characters, stories, and gags are all too familiar today, and look exactly dead art, like pie-throwing. With short running time of 80 minutes, the film still looks padded out, and I didn't talk about the 'dream' sequences (including that of a chihuahua) that have nothing to do with the story.

As I said, the three leading ladies Roselyn Sanchez, Sofia Vergara, and Jaci Velasquez do act with gusto, and they did admirable job for their characters always remain likeable. And I like Roselyn Sanchez, who has curiously attractive charms like Sandra Bullock, and was the only good thing in terrible film 'Boat Trip.' I just don't understand why Hollywood must keep on wasting them in this awful films again and again.

Innocuous, fluffy, but that's not the problem. The problem is that they could think of only hackneyed ideas to fill the 80 minutes. And they used as many as four writers.

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!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hillarious!
Review: When I first read about Chasing Papi, I expected a very stereotypical lousy film. Little did I expect I would enjoy this film a lot. There are many twists and turns in the film, and all sorts of wild stuff that go on, that just leave you laughing as the three women fight over who "Papi Chulo" will choose, and learn along the way to not depend upon him.

My main gripe is that I wish they would have placed the "No Hace Falta Un Hombre" video by Jaci Velasquez as well.

And for those who have questioned Jaci's role in this film, there's more to it than people know. Go to .... and find out.
