Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

An illegal alien from the Dominican Republic dreams he can make it on the Great White Way, but instead he finds a job cleaning toilets, all the while dodging the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Does that keep him from dancing? Or romancing the owner of the dance studio that employs him? Of course not! This cornball cheapie is surprisingly stylish and provocative, with a fresh look delivered by director Joseph B. Vasquez (Hangin' with the Homeboys). If he could do so much with just wit and attitude, imagine what he could accomplish with a budget. --Rochelle O'Gorman

This is fun to watch, and captures some of the problems Latinos face in America. NICE dancing!
