5.0 out of 5 stars
Makes you think!,
By LN "LN" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chicago Boricua (DVD)
It is about time someone writes about the realities that Puerto Ricans are faced with in the inner city. Although this movie was not intended to be the "be all and end all" of any Puerto Rican community, it touches on real issues and obstacles that many of us face on a daily bases.
The movie touches on issues of Identity, Sexuality, Substance Abuse and Gentrification. I give Marisol Torres and the cast 2 thumbs up for addressing issues that most people would not dare go near beacuse they are not "Politicaly Correct."

Entertaining, that's what most movies are supposed to be,
By Chicago Native (Northern NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chicago Boricua (DVD)
This movie was very entertaining. It wasn't meant to be a social statement. Most movies or shows aren't meant to be. I don't believe all Puerto Ricans, or Caucasians, are like those depicted in this movie, as I don't believe all Italians are like those portrayed in The Sopranos or The Godfather.
Having said that, there were some positive images. Maribel's father so loved her, that at her request (wrong that it was), he sold his beloved home and store to please her. And certain images of family solidarity, though convoluted, were demonstrated. Anyway, I liked the drama, and some of the humor. Oh, and German got what he deserved.

This was a good movie for a inde.,
This review is from: Chicago Boricua (DVD)
I love inde movies almost more then the ones in the boxoffice..
not every movie is going to show a point of view of happy people and stars and smiling faces.. this was a movie about drama, people and weed smoke...I think they wanted to make a inde "hood" movie and thats what they did.. If someone makes a movie about a gun it doesn't mean its a bad movie I just means that movie is about a gun and thats it.. I liked the movie take it for what it is...Dont be mad at the actors or the people in the movie..Its just a movie Not every person is the same type of person So thats why people make movies that Not the same type of movie!
