Rum and Coke Reviews
Awsome Movie
This movie is sooo awsome! Its a grwat movie about staying in contact with your latin heritage! It was also ... a funny movie. I especially like it because my aunt was in it. Jaqueline Torres! You may know her from F-X the series. I definnently recommend this movie.
Awful movie!
In this movie, a Cuban-American woman learns to love Cuban men and Cuban culture. I liked that this movie promoted embracing one's heritage. However, that's where the good stuff stops. The acting in this flick is TERRIBLE! The actors had no timing whatsoever. The romance is rushed. The male love interest has such a perfect jaw that it obviously must be a result of cosmetic surgery. It should be stressed that this movie promoted cultural pride, not racial pride. All the Cubans in this film are white. All the Black and mixed Cubans, both in the US and on the island, are totally absent. I find this incredibly problematic. Some of the subtitles on the DVD are mistranslated or spelled wrong. Further, at a time when one out of every three Latinos marries an Anglo, I'm surprised this film was made. I'm not sure how people in multiracial families or interracial couples will feel about this piece.
