Mi casa, su casa

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.

Well, the movie is entertaining if you want to see how low can an acting quality sink.

The main male lead - astonishingly horrible :(. But it does support the theory that having good looks will get you already half the way: in his case into a bad comedy with horrible cast.

The female lead - i know that she can even act though not in this particular movie - how did she ever end up in such a production??!

Rest of the cast - .. no comments.

This movie is a must for every wannabe-actor/actress for learning what should they avoid in the future.

2/10 - generous score

I rented several movies in the last week (slow/rest week) and this is the only one I enjoyed. Sorry, sadly, and an indication of how bad movies have gotten I guess?

The other movies I rented were Ultraviolet, The Last Drop, Denny Decker, Waterborne, Green River Killer, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Mesmerized, Sound of Thunder, and Around the Bend. Quite a difference in genres, so you can't say that is the problem!

At least this movie was about people and not things. Sure it had a lot of problems, but it is hard to fit such a long story into an hour and a half or whatever. And it was funny! For example: "Look, there are plenty of branches left that will hold you!" (When branch broke when guy was trying to hang himself.)

C'mon, lighten up everyone, I bet the next movie from this production company will shine!

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.

This modern Latin take on 'Taming of the Shrew' is a complete waste of your time and money! The script throws out a couple of interesting ideas and characters but never develops any of them. A Hispanic gardener wins a lottery fortune on the same night his boss gets dumped by his rich wife. In order to open a new restaurant and hang on to his home, the boss agrees to marry the gardener's shrewish, but beautiful sister. The 'crazy' Mexican clan move in with the uptight white guy and before you can say 'ay carumba' they are all one big happy family. The pacing is slow, the look is cheap and the actors are badly directed. It makes 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' look like a classic film!
