Better Late Then Never

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

These kids not even old enough to VOTE: With Determination-Organization-UNITY were able to make some changes for themselves and future generations. We can learn from that, their parents learned from them. To many people feel what can I do..its best not to make waves...just shut up and do your job. Its really not when there is injustice, prejudice and racism involved.Movies like this: Empower people to Unite, Organize and have a Voice!!! Under any circumstances or oppressed situation. The timing of its release was right on target-with the Marches, boycotts and Demonstrations going on in this Country at the time in protest Racism!I recommend parents watch this Movie with their kids. Well made, good acting and a part of History.

I absolutely loved this film. While watching it I admired the work that Paula and the other students did to better their schools. They became role models for me. Afterwards, anger arose in me. Anger that I had to learn about the Chicano movement in a "made for TV" movie. Instead of in my classroom, during a unit focused on the civil rights movement. In our class we learned about the Montgomery bus boycott, about Rosa Parks, and about the Little Rock Integration in Central High. Cesar Chaves was mentioned briefly, if not at all. One of the reasons that the kids walked out was so that classrooms contained Hispanic history and culture. Unfortunately, in the Madison School District, our history has not been incorporated into the course curriculum. Its disappointing to know that the fight is still going and that in many ways its improved but in others it hasn't.

One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Would love to own a copy of the movie. It is a movie I could watch over and over again. The message is strong and could teach people a lot. I think it would be good to be shown in school, especially to teach a more accurate history. With all the things going on with immigration today, it would be really good timing. As soon as I can find a copy of the movie, I plan on having my children watch it and even write a commentary about what they think. The stars in the movie were awesome. I learned so much history that I had never known before. I would like to thank the people who put the movie together in order to help educate the people more.

...meaning her father is Filipino and her mother is a Chicana? Or is she full-blooded Filipina, because the real Paula looked totally Malay to me? BTW...There are Filipinos of Mexican(Indios and Meztisos)ancestry so having a Latino looking Filipino father is not so far off...how you say? Nueva Espana(Mexico) governed the Philippines for over 300 years with most of the colonizers from Mexico. Philippines culture has a distinctly Mexican flavor...The Virgen De Guadalupe is the Philippine's Patron Saint... Filipino language is peppered with Nahuatl words...customs and traditions are Mexican/Spanish in origin (Dia De Los Muertos, e.g.)I give the actor credit with the somewhat Filipino accent ("I'm prum the Peeleepeens")I enjoyed the movie, even though it was kinda fluffy. It should have been more gritty and blood-spattered(come on, they were hit with batons on the head!)Over all, it was a stirring movie that made me want to go out protest something!
