Sanky Panky

This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in my life. Genaro is a poor but hard working man that dreams of coming to the USA in search of a better life. He learns some English words and temporarily works at Bavaro resorts in hopes of marrying a old white lady to bring him to the USA.

His personal journey to obtain a USA visa is selfish because he tries to use Martha but noble because who wants to be poor for the rest of their life. You get to discover the "real" Dominican Republic as three childhood friends wine, dine and mingle with three female American tourists.

The bootleg version of this movie is HOT so I can't wait to buy the official DVD.

This is one of the funniest films I have seen yet. It's based on a Dominican man who's trying to find a white girl, or in his case, a "gringa" to fall in love with him and take him with her to the USA. He pretends to be a manager/director at a resort in Punta Cana, DR in order to attract a hopeless, heartbroken, young woman who traveled with her two crazy and perverted aunts.

I have to say that this is a very funny and entertaining film. It carries a musical background with a very nice ending. You will enjoy the music, the story, the dialogue, and overall the film. I do recommend that everyone sees Sanky Panky, you will truly like it, without a doubt!

The characters have no depth. The storyline is contrived. The acting is amateur at best and filled with a real disregard for the humanity of Domincans. This film goes a long way towards perpetuating negative stereotypes. Genaro, the main character, is a candy store attendant with a burning desire to meet a rich American tourist that he can seduce and escape his economic situation. The folklore amongst his not too bright friends is that this is a guaranteed ticket to the good life. He envisions lounging in his own personal penthouse while simultaneously dealing with his dire circumstances. He lands a job as a gofer in a hotel resort to make his dreams come true only to find himself parading in a chicken suit to please the guests while pretending to be the hotel manager. His attempts to seduce fall flat just as the humor in this films does. Not a good film at all.

I don't know, I like the movie because of the story it has. However, I don't agree with a couples things. For example, when the girl ask the DJ to play the song from the CD that she has, Why does she appear singing with the other girls, I mean do they have something to do with singing? I don't think so. I don't Know if you guys got me, but do u all remember Dreamgirls? they were all artists and they could sing 'cause that is what they used to do, but here it is not the case. and in the scene when Genaro is in Martha's room he did and over acting with the phone mentioning so many things that did not fit or were not necessary for the film, hope you understand me. overall I think it was good, no very, but good, and better than previous ones.

Dominican cinema has been suffering from stupid humor scripts, bad picture, bad acting and on top bad planning.

This films proves us that Dominican's can do a good film, shoot pretty nice picture, act decently and write good simple scripts.

This film is a good taste of the country, showing us part of its current popular music, stars, hotels, beaches and others.

I saw it and enjoyed very much, in fact i was surprised with its quality, crystal shots, musical scenes and light comedy.

If you want to enjoy a nice comedy/musical picture this is it. It has a very fluid script, some real Dominican situation, and a good line. You will enjoy it.
