Cookie-cutter Mexican-American Fare
7.6 stars.
A good time getting to know the PenaVegas again together, same actors, different movie. Both of them can act, she has a lot of practice being an actress since she was like 4? He is not a bad actor, although some say he's not so good, but I disagree. He is not awesome, he's not bad, he's average and can hold his own. The romance is palpable in this film, but the story is cookie-cutter. Just add a bit of Mexican tradition in a predominantly white America setting. The story is nice, the characters are endearing. Her mother is a good addition, it was nice for her to have more than a two-bit part. Her best friend was also charismatic and funny. Mr. PenaVega's role was underdeveloped, which I found to be a bit strange, yet it was just barely enough to pull it off. I'll watch this every other year probably.
