It's true but I've the same problem

I saw that film here in Argentina. I'm Argentinian so I speak Spanish and I didn't have any problem watching that DVD but sometimes I have the same problem with the American movies. I speak English but the most of times they didn't translate the signs or jokes written in the wall, you know, that kind of things.

Anyway, that show was great!!! Of course I enjoyed the DVD a lot, because I could understand the things that they said in Spanish, but I think that sometimes if you translate that sort of jokes they wouldn't be funny.

The cast is excellent and that was the best stand up show that I've ever seen. It's just a great show! I hope you enjoy that!

Non-Spanish speakers beware!

This DVD is hilarious, of course, because all of the featured comics are hilarious. However...if you don't speak Spanish, beware that you are actually going to miss about half of the jokes. We tried to turn on the English subtitles, so that we could get the entire experience, and the DVD doesn't translate the Spanish jokes into English on the subtitles!!! That was a bit frustrating! We were disappointed that there was so much of a language barrier when we are more than willing to support the Latin Kings just as we have enjoyed many other comics who have come out with DVDs/videos. I think the DVD would definitely have been better if we could have enjoyed all of the jokes.

If you are a Latino (specially one living in the USA) you'll love this

A lot of "inside" jokes, that anyone who isn't hispanic and speaks fluent Spanish won't understand. But If you are a latino like me, te vas a cagar de la risa all through the show. Specially with George Lopez's jokes, that are not only funny, but also provides intelligent remarks on the hispanic culture, on our customs and way of life that make you relate to everything he says. From how we say hello to each other, to the way our people have become integrated into almost every aspect and place in the USA. I give this show 9/10 because I didn't particularly enjoy as much as I enjoyed Lopez's act the other comedians, although they all made me laugh.

If you understand the Hispanic culture... great watch

I really enjoyed this. It had me laughing my a## off... I recommend this to anyone who has some understanding of the Hispanic culture...if you don't speak a lick of Spanish then some of the jokes you will not understand... but the majority of the movie isn't hard to understand... I don't know which kings of comedy was better... the Latin or the Original. I believe they did a great job putting this movie together and I don't recommend your young kids or immature kids to watch this... there are some adult humor... but overall good watch if you are looking for something that pokes fun at the Hispanic culture and the American culture.

Must speak Spanish to enjoy

The reason I chose to rate this movie so low is because I couldn't understand a word of it. I do NOT recommend this film to anyone unless he/she can speak fluent Spanish. And speak it well. If you can't, you won't get the jokes.....TRUST ME. I assume it was a funny show because I saw people in the audience laughing their heads off. Thankfully, I rented it for a dollar instead of buying it. I just couldn't enjoy it. They would tell part of the joke in English, and then the punchline in Spanish. However, the movie was set up good and it was cool watching one of them drive on stage in a low-rider. But all this movie did was feed me Mexican food that I couldn't pronounce. So I didn't eat it. I would take a Spanish class before partaking of this movie.
