1.0 out of 5 stars My Choice: 0 stars, December 1, 2004

This review is from: The Price of the American Dream (DVD)

I have always enjoyed movies that have to do with life on the street and anything that deals with the hispanic culture. I usually cant stop a watching a movie until its over,once it starts it will finish. It took five minutes while watching this movie to decide to turn it off,and it wasnt a hard desicion. It looks like a low budget film with poor actors. It looks like they are not even trying. I love movies and this has to be the worst one I have ever seen. Sorry to be blunt but the truth hurts.

4.0 out of 5 stars American?, February 5, 2005

B.C. "B" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Price of the American Dream (DVD)

AT first I thought this movie was going to be stupid by the way it began, but after, I felt like it was a great reality movie with issues that Mexican Americans face everyday due to ignorant people who believe "Mexicans" should go back to Mexico blah blah blah. Anyway, no not all Mexicans are in gangs like evryone thinks and there are all different races when it comes to gangs. To some of the people that reviewed this movie and thought it was funny, I just think they are ignorant. If you go back into history, you will realize that most of the United States used to be Mexico and that everyone is an immigrant unless you are a Native AMericAN Indian. People who came from Europe were immigrants and most of the people who live here ( their grandparents, great-grandparents, etc) arrived here on the Mayflower or Ellis Island as well so I see no reason for anyone to feel like they are better than anyone else just because they are considered "white". Everyone was an immigrant at some time or another. Don't get me wrong, I get along with all races and realize not everyone is racist or discriminates. I give this movie four stars just because some of the actors weren't so good. This movie shows the struggle of hard-working immigrants when they come to a new country.

This is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Not only is the acting bad but the cinematography is atrocious. I generally tend to like Chicano cinema but this is just bad. A serious stinker in my book. Avoid it at all cost
