LOCO LOVE is predictable fun. It is one of those films that after the first ten minutes, you know where it is going, and how it is going to end. This is a straight forward story that goes from point A to point B with very few twists along the way. Boy meets Girl. Boy and Girl hate each other. Boy and Girl love each other. Boy and Girl break off their relationship. Boy and Girl get back together. Fortunately there are enough fun scenes along the way to make the journey worth taking.

The beginning starts out a bit shaky with a jerky exposition and an incredibly bad mustache. It is apparent that this film was made on a very low budget. I thought I was going to hate this film. However, the story slowly became endearing. It's a Taming of the Shrew meets Trading Places kind of story.

The story was hampered by the producer/director trying to be too politically correct. The relationship between Donald and Cat also seemed a bit rushed, but it worked well enough keep my interest. What made this film entertaining was the cast of character actors and the little one-liners they were given.

While LOCO LOVE is not great entertainment, it is good enough to nuke some popcorn, curl up on the couch and watch this awkward, silly romantic comedy.

You can't really judge this movie for being too authentic. It's sort of a classic story genre, dating back to Taming of The Shrew from Shakespeare, but it's obviously no Shakespeare. Classic story, a firebrand woman who no man in their right mind would marry, gets married to a man through ulterior motives, but eventually they find love.

Acting is wooden, there's no real conflicts or sparks between the characters. And the movie does get a little draggy during the last half hour. But don't take it too seriously.

I rented several movies in the last week (slow/rest week) and this is the only one I enjoyed. Sorry, sadly, and an indication of how bad movies have gotten I guess?

The other movies I rented were Ultraviolet, The Last Drop, Denny Decker, Waterborne, Green River Killer, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Mesmerized, Sound of Thunder, and Around the Bend. Quite a difference in genres, so you can't say that is the problem!

At least this movie was about people and not things. Sure it had a lot of problems, but it is hard to fit such a long story into an hour and a half or whatever. And it was funny! For example: "Look, there are plenty of branches left that will hold you!" (When branch broke when guy was trying to hang himself.)

C'mon, lighten up everyone, I bet the next movie from this production company will shine!

Poor cast, predictable story, bad audio, horrible wardrobe, appalling direction...it could not stink more. My eight-year-old son can do better with a cheap video camera. Avoid this turkey at all costs.

Major pet peeves: everyone mumbles and the stupid annoying fake moustache.

This modern Latin take on 'Taming of the Shrew' is a complete waste of your time and money! The script throws out a couple of interesting ideas and characters but never develops any of them. A Hispanic gardener wins a lottery fortune on the same night his boss gets dumped by his rich wife. In order to open a new restaurant and hang on to his home, the boss agrees to marry the gardener's shrewish, but beautiful sister. The 'crazy' Mexican clan move in with the uptight white guy and before you can say 'ay carumba' they are all one big happy family. The pacing is slow, the look is cheap and the actors are badly directed. It makes 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' look like a classic film!

Well, the movie is entertaining if you want to see how low can an acting quality sink.

The main male lead - astonishingly horrible :(. But it does support the theory that having good looks will get you already half the way: in his case into a bad comedy with horrible cast.

The female lead - i know that she can even act though not in this particular movie - how did she ever end up in such a production??!

Rest of the cast - .. no comments.

This movie is a must for every wannabe-actor/actress for learning what should they avoid in the future.

2/10 - generous score

With it's 7.2 rating here on IMDB, I decided to watch this movie. However, I would give it 4/10. The script is pretty cheesy and at some moments I kept on thinking to myself, nobody in real life would actually do something like that. A lot of the time, I found the acting to reflect the script. I definitely won't recommend for anyone to put themselves through this movie unless they are just looking for a cute movie. This isn't a high quality movie in the least, it's just cute.

The movie's a light romantic comedy. So how deep can the script really get? The story is harmless, and the humor is sweet, simple, and steady. The low budget only adds to the charm. They find some nice locals and have a simple but effective soundtrack.

The cast is familiar and gets the job done. It is more interesting to watch Laura Harring try on a different role than to see Hugh Grant once again reprise his "usual" character in another equally implausible romantic comedy. It is satisfying to get more smiles and laughs from a film that has far less budget and star power than the weak "You, Me, and Dupree".

It's worth the watch because it's what you expect...with a little more.

This movie seemed like my friends from up the street filmed it. (That is not a complimentary comment ) If the director would have given the opportunity for the audience to adjust then maybe it would have made more sense. There seemed to be a lot of jumping around in the script. Plus the way things end up with them was like blah blah blah blah. I was so disappointed with the movie. The actors didn't even seem thrilled with their lines. Oh and the fake mustache was ridiculous. How this movie made the amount of stars I gave it is just because I don't make movies and I'd hate to judge too hard. The movie did have a very clean content which was a breath of fresh air. I just wish that movies like this would couple morality with an actual interesting dialog. At times the movie dialog was so weak that you kept hoping for another line but it would just be something ridiculous sounding . I hope that this helps. If you have Netflix like I do and just watch things with your family and friends in the evening and don't really care if it is an amazing movie and want a clean movie, then watch this one. Just don't expect it to be tremendously entertaining.

Writing about bad movies is easier. Just throw the insults in and that's it. Writing about really bad movies is somewhat harder. And then there is Loco Love. This will remain as THE movie that I "had" to stop watching because my DVD-player would not agree to play it. I can't blame it because the whole "movie" ( I don't know if the word can be used because I don't think it follows any standards of movie making itself). Loco Love is the word for low budget. There is practically no story ( a rip-off of My big fat Greek wedding ), no direction, the sound seems to come from space when people are near each other...and even one of the lead male actors seems to have a fake moustache. What were these people thinking? The one star in this system stands for awful but in my case it is funny kind of awful. Because this must be and is a joke.

My boyfriend and I just saw this the other night and thought it was very cute. We loved seeing Laura Harring in a humorous role -- proof that she has great range as an actress! Also, in terms of plot, found the caste reversal of Miguel and "Oso" entertaining.

Being a Laura Harring fan I decided to buy the DVD despite the horrible reviews, thinking maybe the reviews weren't correct. ALAS! I was wrong. The movie was cliché, the characters were unconvincing and the storyline ..well lets just say you're better off watching paint dry. Yes I sound harsh, trust me it pains me to write such a review for a Laura Harring movie. But being a fan of hers from Mulholland Dr, I expected the sensual fiery Laura.However, she comes off mellow, dry and distracted in the movie. There are bits of comedy but are they worth watching the movie? NO. Watch this movie on a lazy summer night when you just want to make time pass.

This movie is a definite cheesy formulaic romantic comedy. The biggest drawback is the acting, which is sometimes wooden and forced. In general not that great. On the plus side, the cinematography is good. Shot on location in California, it looks like a professional job (as opposed to your neighbor filming with the new camcorder). As for the plot, well as a formulaic movie it is exactly what you expect, but if you like Romantic comedies would you really want it any other way?? In general I would describe this movie like "Taming of the Shrew" meets "A Million to Juan" meets "Beauty and the Beast." My wife and I rented it from the dollar section of our local video rental store. It is an OK way to pass two hours, but I wouldn't buy the video.

I loved it, cute story happy ending.

Movies like this are too rare Family love happiness 😎
