5.0 out of 5 stars A great educational video for foreign language classes!, June 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sweet 15 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have used this video in my Spanish classes for two years, and it is a wonderful way to introduce the Latino tradition of the quinceañera to kids not familiar with it. What's even better is that it is a good way to talk about issues like maturity and responsibility and what it really means to "grow up." It is also a great way to open discussion about illegal immigrants and related issues in an effort to evoke some understanding and tolerance. I love it and my students always love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars una pelicula carinosa y comica, May 15, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Sweet 15 (DVD)
I watched this movie for Spanish class because we were learning about a Mexican celebration called a Quinceanera. What I liked about the movie was that it is like real life problems. The actors didn't seem like they were reading right off a piece of paper. They had real emotions. Also the things Marta did seemed like real things that girls her age would do. My favorite part out of the whole movie was when Ramon did something very special for Marta at the very end. It was very touching. I didn't like that Ramon would just yell at Marta for any reason then is her friend again the next few minutes. Also it wasn't our style; it was a different style because the movie was done in 1990 so it makes it a little different. I still enjoyed the movie. I would recommend this movie to a Spanish class or families that want to learn about are learning about the Mexican culture.
Reviewed by, a distinguished Spanish student in 7th grade. TE

5.0 out of 5 stars Show Sweet 15 to your Spanish I Classes!, February 10, 2004
By 
"eyeseena" (Sanford, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweet 15 [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I am a Spanish teacher in Florida, where Spanish is prevalent. We always show this video after presenting the "family" chapter. The clothing may be dated, Ramón may seem a little "old" for Marta, but other experiences lend a lot of validity to being a teenager, not just a "quinceañera". This video kept my students' attention, and that says a lot. They followed every conversation. They were especially involved in the dinner scene when Marta and her father had words. I could hear them talking about what their own father would have done.(smile) Not one of my students complained about it. They learned what "migra" meant, and they learned a bit about the harsh reality of being from Mexico and coming to the USA to make a living. One message was not to take so many things for granted.
