    Nice Dominican Cinema

    As a Dominican I have seen a lot of movies that were shot and made with native material and for me this one is taking the film industry in our country to the next level. This is a movie with a nice script (with minors flaws), well crafted humor, and good acting for some characters.

    If your are not Dominican you will enjoy it anyway because of the hilarious of the center character as well as other actors.

    In the technical aspect this movie has a great soundtrack, as well it has a nice sound editing and mixing, well directed also.

    Sanky Panky show us the real world of the people that does not know other way to succeed but getting involved with a rich tourist and try to make it to the U.S. or Europe maybe, and this is a cruel reality for a part of our population.

    We have had good movies before, and this one must be up there along the best of the best.

    OMG i watched it like 15 times

    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.

    A very good Dominican film

    Dominican cinema has been suffering from stupid humor scripts, bad picture, bad acting and on top bad planning.

    This films proves us that Dominican's can do a good film, shoot pretty nice picture, act decently and write good simple scripts.

    This film is a good taste of the country, showing us part of its current popular music, stars, hotels, beaches and others.

    I saw it and enjoyed very much, in fact i was surprised with its quality, crystal shots, musical scenes and light comedy.

    If you want to enjoy a nice comedy/musical picture this is it. It has a very fluid script, some real Dominican situation, and a good line. You will enjoy it.

    Love & Laughs a la Dominicana!!

    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

    Sanky Panky is a musical-comedy who brings you to the deep of Dominican's culture.Merengue, Reaggeton, Hip Hop And More..

    Sanky Panky is one of the best comedies from the Dominicans movie industry

    Hysterical

    This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in my life. Genaro is a poor but hard working man that dreams of coming to the USA in search of a better life. He learns some English words and temporarily works at Bavaro resorts in hopes of marrying a old white lady to bring him to the USA.

    His personal journey to obtain a USA visa is selfish because he tries to use Martha but noble because who wants to be poor for the rest of their life. You get to discover the "real" Dominican Republic as three childhood friends wine, dine and mingle with three female American tourists.

    The bootleg version of this movie is HOT so I can't wait to buy the official DVD.
