The whole notion of the movie (Ladrones) is that it's an American movie. A lot of people pause and cock their heads when you say it is an American movie. 'Well isn't it in Spanish?' - they'll say. Well yeah, it's an American movie in Spanish. To take that even further, everything in the movie is structured like an American movie. The jokes are primarily styled like American jokes. It's really because we don't know how to make a Mexican movie, a Dominican (movie) or a South American (movie). All we know as [people of] Latino descent being raised in this country is how to do things American-style.
