Crappy film

A different way of telling a story

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The movie's a light romantic comedy. So how deep can the script really get? The story is harmless, and the humor is sweet, simple, and steady. The low budget only adds to the charm. They find some nice locals and have a simple but effective soundtrack.The cast is familiar and gets the job done. It is more interesting to watch Laura Harring try on a different role than to see Hugh Grant once again reprise his "usual" character in another equally implausible romantic comedy. It is satisfying to get more smiles and laughs from a film that has far less budget and star power than the weak "You, Me, and Dupree".It's worth the watch because it's what you expect...with a little more.

Well, the movie is entertaining if you want to see how low can an acting quality sink. The main male lead - astonishingly horrible :(. But it does support the theory that having good looks will get you already half the way: in his case into a bad comedy with horrible cast.The female lead - i know that she can even act though not in this particular movie - how did she ever end up in such a production??!Rest of the cast - .. no comments.This movie is a must for every wannabe-actor/actress for learning what should they avoid in the future.2/10 - generous score

This modern Latin take on 'Taming of the Shrew' is a complete waste of your time and money! The script throws out a couple of interesting ideas and characters but never develops any of them. A Hispanic gardener wins a lottery fortune on the same night his boss gets dumped by his rich wife. In order to open a new restaurant and hang on to his home, the boss agrees to marry the gardener's shrewish, but beautiful sister. The 'crazy' Mexican clan move in with the uptight white guy and before you can say 'ay carumba' they are all one big happy family. The pacing is slow, the look is cheap and the actors are badly directed. It makes 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' look like a classic film!

You can't really judge this movie for being too authentic. It's sort of a classic story genre, dating back to Taming of The Shrew from Shakespeare, but it's obviously no Shakespeare. Classic story, a firebrand woman who no man in their right mind would marry, gets married to a man through ulterior motives, but eventually they find love.Acting is wooden, there's no real conflicts or sparks between the characters. And the movie does get a little draggy during the last half hour. But don't take it too seriously.
