Salsa

Hola. I recommend this beautiful movie.Is great.Not only because it talks about Puerto Rico,Is great because the Biggest Cast is our Puertorrican Robi Draco Rosa.So much talent in his past in his present and i hope in his future.And his present wife Angela Alvarado is great they make a team together.As an actor he may be Robby Rosa but in his music he is Robi Draco Rosa.So poetic and so Boricua.Did you see him in the Latin Grammy?.Now that is a actor,singer and a talented person.Puerto Rico loves you Robi Draco Rosa Your The Best. You will always be are Latino,Boricua,Poetic person.

This movie is very Latino (like me), but unfortunately it has little substance in it. The only virtue i find in a movie like this is the (evident) enthusiasm, the lively, energetic approach, the depiction of the youth culture in the late 80s, a reminder of (very probably) happier times than nowadays.

The acting is not that bad; i guess the actors didn't have much to work with...concerning that shallow script. There are, here and there, a few well made romantic, well meaning scenes, but overall the film lacks dramatic weight (and what should i expect from a movie named "Salsa"?) Anyway, it was always nice to see/listen to some salsa stars like Celia Cruz and Willie Colón, plus the good looking ladies and the (most of the time) cheerfulness of it all. On the poignant side, Rodney Harvey also stars here, a promising actor with a sad fate...(4/10)

While this movie is pure 80's cheese the dance sequences and the soundtrack to this film are without a doubt the best things about this. The plot line is a bit predictable and some of the acting is laughable but this movie is all about the dancing and if you were a fan of movies like dirty dancing and lambada be sure to give this one a go as you will not be disappointed with the dance sequences. The soundtrack is awesome if you like Latin music and Robby Rosa's song Under my skin is quite good so too are Margarita and Puerto Rico. Unfortunately this film could not piggy back off the success of Dirty Dancing but it is still a film that you should see if like I said earlier you are a fan of Latin music and dance films. The final 10-15 minutes is really good viewing and while my rating of 7 might be a bit generous it is simply because I am a big fan of Latin music and do like a lot of the dance orientated films no matter how cheesy they are.

That movies like this one survive. Never seen such a lousy movie concept such as this. Its a pity that it still fools innocent people and makes them think it is worth to watch. The Celia Cruz and Willie Colon appearance made me wonder, were they really aware they were going to be in this film?

Well, I endured watching this thing in my Beloved Island Puerto Rico, and it was all hype, no bang. Worse movie I ever seen. Poorly directed and apparently a cheap casting effort. It seems that it was a bad attempt to legitimize Robbie Rosa as an actor. One thing is being a hit singer with Menudo and a good dancer, another thing is being a descent actor. Robbie was not the latter. He may as well have gone into one of the Friday the 13th sequels, that bad was the acting of everyone in this...."movie". The music is not bad, the rest, goodness!!! Don't get me wrong I am Puertorrican and darn proud of it, but this was a piece of junk movie.
