This is one of the funniest films I have seen yet. It's based on a Dominican man who's trying to find a white girl, or in his case, a "gringa" to fall in love with him and take him with her to the USA. He pretends to be a manager/director at a resort in Punta Cana, DR in order to attract a hopeless, heartbroken, young woman who traveled with her two crazy and perverted aunts.
I have to say that this is a very funny and entertaining film. It carries a musical background with a very nice ending. You will enjoy the music, the story, the dialogue, and overall the film. I do recommend that everyone sees Sanky Panky, you will truly like it, without a doubt!

Sanky Panky is an almost perfect film. The images are incredible and are in themselves the perfect advertisement for the Dominican Ministry of Tourism. The soundtrack is excellent and contains music from nearly every Hispanic genre, including some excellent "Perico Rip'ao" and music by the hit band Aventura.
The performances by Fausto Mata (Boca'e Piano) and Tony Pascual (Pachuli) are off the charts. These two seasoned comedians do not miss a beat; their maturity and obvious chemistry keep their energy at a boiling point throughout the film - never a corny second.
However, behind the humor, and some of the funniest and most clever lines I have ever heard, is a stark reality - this is that in the Caribbean as in many other world spots, normal people must go to extreme measures to improve their lives.
The weak point is reflected in the some of the casting and parts of the script in the "gringa" part of the film. It is passable though as comedic license allows it to slip through.
I love the film and expect it to become a star throughout the Hispanic world.

In search of a better lifestyle, a man move to beach side to become a ¨Sanky Panky¨, a kind of Casanova. He only wants to lives in the USA, but first he needs a ¨gringa¨to take him.
He finds the woman of his dreams, a heart broken girl who came to the island with two psycho-sexual aunts , trying to forget the guy who she was supposed to marry

The characters have no depth. The storyline is contrived. The acting is amateur at best and filled with a real disregard for the humanity of Domincans. This film goes a long way towards perpetuating negative stereotypes. Genaro, the main character, is a candy store attendant with a burning desire to meet a rich American tourist that he can seduce and escape his economic situation. The folklore amongst his not too bright friends is that this is a guaranteed ticket to the good life. He envisions lounging in his own personal penthouse while simultaneously dealing with his dire circumstances. He lands a job as a gofer in a hotel resort to make his dreams come true only to find himself parading in a chicken suit to please the guests while pretending to be the hotel manager. His attempts to seduce fall flat just as the humor in this films does. Not a good film at all.
This movie has made me laugh so much... I have seen it so much that I know every word they say. This is the best comedy movie i have ever seen!!! You will love it if your Dominican and if your not Dominican you will love it too. One thing about us Dominicans is that we are very funny, Love us or hate us there is no denying on what we can accomplish. Genaro is a clown lol, and now they are making part 2 because Dominicans are requesting it! all of the main characters play a big role and the movie is so true about some people that do what ever it takes to come to America. This movie is funny but it is also so real that some people just think this is all made up.
