Amor y Frijoles

Entering Cinemark 2 weeks ago. I went in with zero expectations. Considering the rather disappointing history of Honduran Films I did not expect too much.

Must say that I was pleasantly surprised with the movie. Very well made with great technical finish and finally real cinematic audio and camera-work. This is definitely a huge step forward for Honduran Films.

The actors were a huge surprise. Real and gritty. Very natural. It was almost like they were living out their real world personalities. The story was a very simple narrative which helped the audience to stay focused. The public's reactions were really good. It was fun to see my fellow Hondurans enjoying themselves in the cinemas together forgetting all our politics etc.

My congratulations to the team at Guacamaya Films. Thank you for giving us what is probably the Best Movie made in Honduras until now.

Looking forward to more films!!!!

The way of filming is superior on this film than the previous Honduran films (previous 3 attempts to commercial cinema I guess, cause its not the only stuff produced in Honduras)... but the story itself, lacked more development. I don't like the way they portrait Honduran women in the film. I mean of all the possible themes they chose that... it really turned me down. And the story could have been a little more positive in the end (too much sexual stuff, unnecessary). Actors weren't so bad as the other movies. But it's definitely a move forward in Honduras cinema. I wish they could choose more positive themes and more of Honduras, my land that's so beautiful.

Well, this is supposed to be a great movie, at least, that is what the press makes you think. I went to the movies and saw this film, and actually I swear I wanted my money back. It's not a terrible movie, it's supposed to be a comedy or something like that, but I only laughed maybe twice the whole time I was sitting watching the film. The acting was horrible, it was so fake...you didn't believe anything the actors said. The actors and script are crappy, it's nothing new, it's very, very, very predictable. There are a few good thing that can be said about the movie. The location is really beautiful. I think it's a town called Ojojona. Great place to go and take pictures, and hang out for a while. The music is quite good, I really enjoyed the music. Well, what did you expect from a Honduran film. They had a good idea with the film, but they didn't execute it well. I would say, go watch it at your own risk, maybe you would enjoy it. I didn't. I would never pay to see this movie again. Lets hope Honduran film-making improves a whole lot.

Estoy Feliz por este gran avance de Cine en Honduras!!! I loved the film!!! It was such a beautiful representation of Honduras!!

Amor y Frijoles is a must watch for all of you who want to see beautiful honduran locations and great talent!!! Story was very original and I hope it motivates filmmakers in Honduras and the region to come up with similar stories that are based on our daily realities. All together it was a fun movie, a bit short but worth it. The movie was also released at the right time... Honduras needed it!!!

Without doubt Polache's music is amazing!! I think he is one the best musicians in Honduras. Hope his next album rocks!!

Muah!! God bless and thanks for doing this in my country!!! AMOR Y FRIJOLES ES EL MEJOR!!!!

this is a great example of independent world cinema, made with minimum resources, a light story, a great location, a beautiful country and new actors and excellent quality. amor y frijoles is a good effort to bring to the screen a story from honduras. the story could have been longer in my opinion. did not like the girl who played the role of "karen", she was not to good. "nicole" was great, really gave her role life. i am told she has never acted before... she is a good talent to watch out for.

all in all i give it a 8 out of 10 for the final product. hope to see more films like this soon from honduras. it is a great country with amazing locations.
