Tio Papi

This is a movie the entire family can watch. And of course it's a formula, but it's a nice formula. Maybe, just maybe there are strict parents who would have a problem with younger kids seeing it, but there's nothing worse than the scene with both Seymour and Mrs. Butz. Yes, you know what will happen there.

Although this is a movie about Latinos, it is respectful of the culture and doesn't deal in stereotypes. It could be about anyone. The music is great, for the most part. Even white people liked it back in the 50s and 60s. And I like it now. Although "America's Funniest Home Videos" shows that the pinata has been made a part of white culture as well, the Latinos did this first and they do it here. The Catholic Church is also important to these people.

All the leading actors give good performances. Other than the evil lawyer who wants to take the kids away from Ray Ray, no one is stereotypical or cartoonish.

The family has comic adventures, and sad moments, and touching moments. Despite obstacles, this is a movie. I bet things are going to work out.

Good moral values are taught here, even though temptation is there. Some characters are surprisingly well-behaved compared to what one might expect in films of this type.

It's a good family film.

100% spoiler-free.

This movie presents a beautiful and heartwarming story about love and family.

A beautiful story of a man who has never wanted kids, whose life is suddenly barged into by 6 kids. You see the transformation this man goes through. You see the fight for love. It was beautiful. The ending was excellent and memorable and made me love the movie so much more and got that 10/10 from me. The story was believable and totally plausible. You will LOVE the ending.

29% on RottenTomatoes. 6.1 on IMDB. 93% of google users liked the movie. So who is right, RT who gave it a 29% or 93% of the viewers who thumbed up the movie?

This movie was excellent. Forget the critics and forget the haters. Once again, the critics and IMDB get it wrong.

I give this movie a 10/10. It was that darn good and everyone ought to give it a chance and watch it.

Actors: Joey Dedio - I thought he did good as the protagonist. He did good. Kelly McGillis - she did good as the "villain". Jerome Preston Bates - really good job as joey's boss. Fátima Ptacek - did a great job as expected. Frankie Faison - good job as the superintendent. Franky G - good job as one of the friends. David Castro - good work. Nicolette Pierini - fine work as one of the youngest kid. Gabriella Fanuele - decent work, but I did not get that "motherly" feel from her unfortunately. I think she hurt the film :/.

Conclusion: once again, the critics from RT and the users on IMDB get it wrong. This is a beautiful and heartwarming story about love and family. A clear 10/10 after the ending. I cannot believe this movie does not even have a wikipedia page. Would love to watch a sequel.
