Perico ripiao

I think Perico Ripiao is a good movie,it is a comedy, so it achieves its goal of making you laugh. The story is original, and it looks very good on screen, also the music is very good. i enjoyed it. saw it twice and laughed as hard as the first time. i hope they can take it all over the world where latin americans are. (remember the subtitles for the gringos). Angel Muñiz is talented, i think he will surprise the world someday. His first work, nueba yol was very good, i couldn't believe it when i saw it on cinecanal once (people who know what cinecanal is, know they only show good movies) i felt proud. we have to remember that in dominicana we don't have the big film industry and the money and the support hollywood has, so it was a big effort to make this movie, and i respect him for doing it as a professional as he did it no matter what. if you have the chance to see it, go for it, it is interesting and fun. i certainly would love that next time Angel Muñiz makes a movie, it's not so dominican, so that he can start becoming an international director, maybe our next Pedro Almodovar. :o) I give it 8.5 of 10

This movie is not just extremely hilarious, but it has all of the drama and the emotional twists and turns of a real life drama that occurs to people living under a repressive regime and still trying to live.

And of course the fact that the actors were all able to act so natural and engage in typical conversations the way the people of Quisqueya speak makes this movie so realistic. And at the same time we can see as viewers, the terrible situation of this island being split into two, the corruption that goes on and how people are affected by all of this.

What I love the most is that this is the first movie I have ever seen from this island, and it relates so much to the people, and it seems that all or most of the actors are natives of the island, which helps encourage the acting careers of the people of Quisqueya (of both sides of the borders).

I also loved the Chinese man in the mob of slave Haitians. You'll enjoy it too.

It is a very funny movie. However, for non-Spanish speaking people, it would be hard to understand the meaning of the movie, because the translation (caption/subtitles) is not near as good as it should be.. It needs a better translation in English, non-Spanish speakers would be able to laugh at the jokes as Hispanics would. What the actors were saying was not the same interpretation written in the subtitles but I recommend to non-Spanish speaker to go with someone that does speak the language, He/She might help you to understand the joke. I'm glad that this movie has been released in new york city , but it has not been "advertise" as it should be. I saw "NuebaYol" 10 years ago and it was not as funny as this one.

One of my favorite Dominican movies. It is super funny and I love every single character they amazing job they did...

This is a very good movie. It's a shame they dont make em like that anymore.
