Mi vida loca

I am a high school student at Arts Of Living School. I liked this movie. It was about gangs,drugs,guns and murder. two girls named mousie and sad girl were best friends, until they let a boy break up their relationship. Once they realized that their relationship was more important than a boy, they were best friends again. this movie was worth watching,and I liked it.

I'm a big fan of cheap movies, and again I'm shown an excellent example here of intelligent shoe-string filmmaking.

The story revolves around the hispanic girl gang of Echo Park, while there is no story as such, the floating viewpoint takes in the mindsets of all the characters and gives a kind of overview of what it's like to live your life to the strict rules of gang culture.

Some of the women look very hard indeed, and I found out later a few are actual gang members. Very impressive. Watch out for cameos by a young Spike Jonze and Jason Lee. That's a footnote though, the film is enjoyable, the medium pace never stretches your patience and the performances are very good.

Themes of retribution, faith, friendship and loyalty are the main talking points, but I'd recommend this film to anyone with a slight interest in gang culture and in this case, female gangs.

This movie feels more like a documentary than anything else. You sense the realism in the script, locations and the actors. It helps that you will not recognize anyone here from anywhere else, there is no "baggage" at all with the actors. The movie follows the lives of several women who live on the periphery of a hispanic gang. They live lifes of tragedy and sadness, loathing themselves and the town they are from. They push their children in strollers, watch out for drive-by shootings and wait for the latest news on which of their boyfriends were killed, injured or jailed. The movie also portrays quite well, in the face of their tragedy, the girls have a strong bond within themselves and even though they may have fights over men, they ultimately will stand up for each other. They should, it seems no one else will. Great movie. Recommended as an escape movie. It will take you out of your world to a world you would probably never want to visit. Like life, it is not romanticized and it is not shown in an overly bad light. It just is.

Excellent movie.

This is the birth of hood-rats and the choices to make. "Why you gotta be like this?"

Really? That's the guy and life you want to follow? It's sad cases that you can see happens in real life as well.

Visions of hope and the tragedy mixed in you can see coming a mile away. They think they're the "baddest" girls around, they fight each other, their boyfriends, rivals and just life in general.

It's another world that lives beneath, the urban lifestyle trapping the girls in a place that most people would never want to live in.

Hi my name is Shanita and I just want to give you all a brief summary about a movie called Mi Vida Loca.This movie is about two girls who grew up together and was really good best friends,they even got jumped in the Ecko Park gang at the same time.When the girls got older one of them was in the hospital given birth to her baby, and when she came back home she had found out her best friend had got pregnant by her baby's father.That start a big disagreement between the two girls,so they had planned a day to meet each other so that they could fight.They were so scared of each other that they told their baby's by in away that seemed like good bye forever. Once they had met up to fight they were so scared that they were going to kill each other but they didn't and this story goes on and on but I think you should watch it. I think this was a very good movie that all teens especially should see it really gives you a wake up call on life period.
