I was so surprised when I saw this movie. Very realistic, (thanks to the director who lets his cast improvise), it all works out naturally. Victor Rasuk, Judy Marte, Grandma, & the rest of the cast did very well. I wish it was longer! Keeping true to the urban Latino culture was another great thing.
And using Spanish words like: "Chi-chon" really brought me back! lol.
Most definetly worth a watch if you enjoy independent real-life young drama, romance, & comedy. I personally would love to work with Peter Sollet in the future if ever possible. Cant wait for the next one!

A very true-to-life look at the urban Latino life in the North East. Anyone raised in those areas of NYC, NJ, MA, or CT, will tell you so.
It's so rich in story & the characters are so easy to relate to, I just wish it was longer. Everyone's performance was great, & very realistic. Lauren Velez, Jon Seda, Jesse Borrego, Lisa Vidal, Vincent Laresca, & legendary diva Rita Moreno, brought this lil' number to life. Griffn Dune was great as well. Along with cameos of music artists Barrio Boyzz, Jerry Rivera, Fat Joe, & Broadway "Rent" star Daphne Rubin-Vega (formerly of late 80's Freestyle Dance/Pop girl-trio, Pajama Party). This film is one of my fav's & I have seen & experienced very similar situations growing up in those areas, so it was kool, & can relate. I definitely recommend this film to everyone, especially the urban Latino audience. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for!

Well, it was not that bad, considering the budget. Many people compare it to "The Craft", but concept wise, I think its geared more towards "X-Men", "Generation-X", & "Fantastic Four".
The characters were well acted. I beleive the main characters had potential, & the story was great. The effects weren't straight outta "Matrix" or anything, but we must remember this is a straight-to-video flick. - It would definately make a kool TV series! I rented the DVD which also has a lil' "Behind The Scenes" featurette. All around, u can definately tell these people had fun making this movie.
Not that bad to watch. I enjoyed it. & I will prob get the DVD.
