Chasing Papi

I was attracted to this movie after seeing Sofia Vergara on one of the late night talk shows. Anyway, after watching her interview, "Chasing Papi" became a must see, but I didn't actually see it until this week when it hit Pay-per-View.

I have to admit that the first time I watched it I was a bit dismayed that the plot seemed thin, but being that virtually every scene involved Sofia, I really didn't care. You can look at her a thousand times and each time you will will see something new that makes her appear even more beautiful.

So naturally I watched the movie again, and this time I noticed that the movie flowed a bit better and that the plot wasn't as thin as I originally thought it was. Couple that with Sofia looking better than in the first viewing, and I can only surmise that this movie will get BETTER with each repeated viewing.

I know what my schedule is like for the rest of the year!

Sooo cute! The plot was adorable, the cast, well at least the ladies, were absolutely stunning. I mean... god, I'd see it again just to see Roselyn Sanchez, Jaci Velasquez, and Sophia Vergaro running around half naked. Mmmmmm... Que Rico. Go see it. The critics hated it. I thought it was adorable. I recommend it... and the girls are drop dead gorgeous.

The successful and handsome wolf executive Thomas Fuentes (Eduardo Verástegui) has three sexy Latin girlfriends: in Miami, the waitress Cici (Sofía Vergara); in Chicago, the intellectual lawyer Lorena (Roselyn Sanchez); and in New York, the "daddy's girl" Patricia (Jaci Velasquez). When the three women decide to visit him in Los Angeles, Thomas is in a big trouble.

"Chasing Papi" is a silly, forgettable and predictable comedy that entertains mostly because the central lead trio is composed by extremely beautiful and sexy women. This enjoyable movie is indicated for a Sunday afternoon for killing time. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Confusões Amorosas" ("Confusions of Love")

Chasing Papi (2003) Roselyn Sanchez, Sofia Vergara, Jaci Velasquez, Eduardo Verastequi, Lisa Vidal, Freddy Rodriguez, D.L. Hughley, Maria Conchita Alonso, D: Linda Mendoza.

Inoffensive but underwhelming Latin comedy about a handsome Romeo working as an advertising executive and dating three beautiful women in three different states all at once. When they are convinced to drop everything they're doing and race to their man's side, all three women discover of his betrayal and get wrapped up in a quandary together.

If it weren't for a plot about a bag of money, this silly story wouldn't go anywhere. It's fun, but a smile is the closest thing you'll find to a single laugh.

Running Time: 80 minutes and rated PG for mild sensuality and language.

RATING: ** (out of ****)

I rented this movie last week and I thought it was pretty good. The three female leads in the film were beautiful. The movie had a few laughs but some of the actors could've been funnier, like D.L. Hughley. If any of you have seen any of his stuff you know he could've been funnier in this film. I know exactly what Tomas was going through in the movie so his character kind of hit close to home. It was great to see Paul Rodriguez in this movie as he had me laughing my butt off the time he was on screen. Overall I thought it was pretty good but this movie was played a little too safe. The plot about the money in the car and the ending where they learned that they don't need a man and become independent are basic but enjoyable. I would recommend this to any couple looking for a good movie to watch. Guys will dig it and so will the girls. I would definitely watch it again, maybe buy it.
