I loved this movie. The story line is exactly what some Dominicans in the DR go through to get out of the country. You should watch this so you can experience the harsh trouble Dominicans go through.

LOVED this movie- sooo funny. Gennaro (the main character)aims to be a "sanky panky" (google the term if you don't know what it is) although he really does not fit the mold. Hilarity ensues when he thinks he found the "gringa" of his dreams. Which is funny because they are totally just Dominican women, trying to act like gringas. There is even a cameo with Henry from Aventura.

However, it has taken Amazon FOREVER (like 4 months) to ship this out. My advice, find somewhere else to buy it if you want to see this movie any time soon.

I recommend to buy this movie. This movie is about what people would do to get out of there country thinking that by coming here they're going to have a better life. But they're wrong there is nothing better than the families and friends that you have around you than being here in this country were is cold and bitter. The good thing about this movie is that it teach you what you have in your country, but in a funny way. You we laugh you heart out if you purchase this movie.

It's hilarious! You must speak spanish to really get all the good jokes) great for a movie night with the fam!! :-)

I luv this movie! its the funniest movie ever! Everytime that I visit my parents in PR we sit and watch this movie and have a great laugh!

i want to buy it for my Latinos in the US class
but i would like to know if it has English subtitle

I been wanting this movie for the longest and i found it took a little bit of time to arrive but it was brand new. Perfect condition

funny as hell. I love this movie and so does my wife. I am dominican and my wife is american she said that most of my boys back in the DR are just like that caracter.

This is got to be one of the funniest movie I have ever seen....of course you'll have a better understanding of the movie if you have visited the island and relate to the topic....for me since we have a condo at Punta Cana and most of the film was shoot with the background of the Barcelo Caribe Hotel, we can totally relate to this....Sanky Panky is a way of life there(unfortunate)and I must say this.....looking at the types of women and men these people have to go out with, they deserve all of my respects and antiacid tablets, soap, deodorant plus mouthwash.......The reason I did not gave the film five stars is because, at the end of the movie it seems that the director sort of went crazy and could not well explain a good ending and you're left like Okay whatever.....The DVD comes with an audio CD (as an added bonus) which brings the soundtrack of the movie.

I got Sanky Panky as a gift and after seeing it I bought copies for me and my latin friends.
This is an incredibly funny film, GREAT production values, wonderful heart-warming story. Probably the best film that I have seen come out of the Caribbean/Dominican Republic/Puerto Rico.
If you're latino, you'll be rolling on the floor at some of the antics and malapropisms of the main character. I have seen the film with American friends and the subtitles DO do it justice, so they will enjoy this funny "fish out of water" story as well.
To me, this film was a revelation. I still laugh at the film even though I have seen it 5-6 times already.
Fun, fun, fun.
P.S. I thought another DR film called Nueba Yol was going to be as funny (another fish out of water story) but it was disappointing in all aspects and doesn't hold a candle to Sanky Panky.
Enjoy!
