3.0 out of 5 stars
Bad boy!, September 24, 2011
This review is from: Mojado De Nacimiento [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Panchito (Gabriel Gonzalez) didn't care to break his mother's heart when he left to United States from Michoacán at the early age of 6-7 y.o. He thought he had a purpose, looking for his father. His mother always told Panchito NOT TO DO IT, it was not worth the risk, but Panchito, being the man of the house now, felt he was ready.
-THIS IS ONLY A MOVIE-
This is what I call luck! Panchito arrives to California safe and sound. He didn't end up raped or dead. And without knowing anybody, gets by, met Tere Alvarez (Maria Teresa Alvarez - "Adriana del Rio, actriz"), who dyed his hair blonde, changed his clothes and told him he was ''Frankie'' from now on.
Even luckier, Panchito, sorry, Frankie, finds his dad with his new family. And he didn't even remembered him, I guess, so Frankie goes back to Panchito again, gets to México without a scratch and his mother, all worried and sick, didn't spanked him! Of course he keeps his father's secret from his mom, telling her he didn't find him. After all, she shouldn't worry, right?
I think that this movie, absurd and unrealistic, is just a 90 commercial to promote Carlos Colorado's "La Sonora Santanera". "Resortes" and Norma Lazareno were there too... Did I miss the part where someone is born in the USA and have no papers? Otherwise I don't get the title ''wetback at birth''. Makes no sense...

I THINK THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST, November 13, 2001
This review is from: Mojado De Nacimiento [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I THINK THIS MOVIE MOJADO DE NACIMIENTO IS A GOOD MOVIE BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE LIFE OF A FAMILY AND A LITTLE BOY NAMED PANCHITO WHO IS VERY SAD BECAUSE HIS FATHER LEFT THEIR FAMILY AND WENT TO THE USA TO START A NEW LIFE. DURING THAT TIME PANCHITO WAS HELPING HIS MOTHER RAISE THERE TWO YOUNGER SISTERS THEN PANCHITO HAD HIGH HOPES TO FIND HIM BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM PANCHITO THOUGHT THAT HIS FATHER IS HURT OR DEAD SO HE FINDS A WAY TO GET TO THE U.S. BY THE HELP OF A GREAT MEXICAN GROUP NAMED LA SONORA SANTANERA. THEY HELPED PANCHITO FIND HIS FATHER ALL OVER THE USA BWHEN THEY WERE ON TOUR THEY LOOKED IN CHICAGO, CALIFRNIA TEXAS, AND LATER FIND HIM IN NEW YORK AT THE DANCE STANDING THERE HUST LOOKING AT PANCHITO. BUT HIS FATHER DOESN'T WANT TO SEE HIM SO HIS SAD AND GETS SENT BACK TO MEXICO HE THEN TELLS HIS MOTHER THAT HIS FATHER DIED JUST SO HER FEELINGS WOULDN'T BE HURT OVERALL I THINK THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO TO WATCH AND TO OWN BECAUSE THIS MOVIE IS HARD TO FIND.
