Mi casa, su casa

My boyfriend and I just saw this the other night and thought it was very cute. We loved seeing Laura Harring in a humorous role -- proof that she has great range as an actress! Also, in terms of plot, found the caste reversal of Miguel and "Oso" entertaining.

With it's 7.2 rating here on IMDB, I decided to watch this movie. However, I would give it 4/10. The script is pretty cheesy and at some moments I kept on thinking to myself, nobody in real life would actually do something like that. A lot of the time, I found the acting to reflect the script. I definitely won't recommend for anyone to put themselves through this movie unless they are just looking for a cute movie. This isn't a high quality movie in the least, it's just cute.

The movie's a light romantic comedy. So how deep can the script really get? The story is harmless, and the humor is sweet, simple, and steady. The low budget only adds to the charm. They find some nice locals and have a simple but effective soundtrack.

The cast is familiar and gets the job done. It is more interesting to watch Laura Harring try on a different role than to see Hugh Grant once again reprise his "usual" character in another equally implausible romantic comedy. It is satisfying to get more smiles and laughs from a film that has far less budget and star power than the weak "You, Me, and Dupree".

It's worth the watch because it's what you expect...with a little more.

LOCO LOVE is predictable fun. It is one of those films that after the first ten minutes, you know where it is going, and how it is going to end. This is a straight forward story that goes from point A to point B with very few twists along the way. Boy meets Girl. Boy and Girl hate each other. Boy and Girl love each other. Boy and Girl break off their relationship. Boy and Girl get back together. Fortunately there are enough fun scenes along the way to make the journey worth taking.

The beginning starts out a bit shaky with a jerky exposition and an incredibly bad mustache. It is apparent that this film was made on a very low budget. I thought I was going to hate this film. However, the story slowly became endearing. It's a Taming of the Shrew meets Trading Places kind of story.

The story was hampered by the producer/director trying to be too politically correct. The relationship between Donald and Cat also seemed a bit rushed, but it worked well enough keep my interest. What made this film entertaining was the cast of character actors and the little one-liners they were given.

While LOCO LOVE is not great entertainment, it is good enough to nuke some popcorn, curl up on the couch and watch this awkward, silly romantic comedy.

This movie seemed like my friends from up the street filmed it. (That is not a complimentary comment ) If the director would have given the opportunity for the audience to adjust then maybe it would have made more sense. There seemed to be a lot of jumping around in the script. Plus the way things end up with them was like blah blah blah blah. I was so disappointed with the movie. The actors didn't even seem thrilled with their lines. Oh and the fake mustache was ridiculous. How this movie made the amount of stars I gave it is just because I don't make movies and I'd hate to judge too hard. The movie did have a very clean content which was a breath of fresh air. I just wish that movies like this would couple morality with an actual interesting dialog. At times the movie dialog was so weak that you kept hoping for another line but it would just be something ridiculous sounding . I hope that this helps. If you have Netflix like I do and just watch things with your family and friends in the evening and don't really care if it is an amazing movie and want a clean movie, then watch this one. Just don't expect it to be tremendously entertaining.
