Summary: 5 Stars
I had to watch this movie for my masters program and at first I was skeptical but it is a great movie! It encompass a real family and the Hispanic population. I am impressed at Jennifer Lopez performance. I don't really care for her movies. All the other actors are also superb actors as well. I highly recommend watching this movie.Movie Review: IT'S ALL ABOUT FAMILIA, THROUGH THICK AND THIN!
Summary: 5 Stars
my family is a breath taking movie. damn, man i mean if you're of the hispanic culture you get my drift, but even if you're not just watch it. take a look and you'll see and understand many things. this movie is one of my favorites, another great potrayel of the mexican family. it's a story told from the eyes of the oldest son. he tells about his families good and bad times in cali. the trials, the journey's, and all his family had to go through. they are, by far, not perfect, but their family and that's what it's all about. you can go through hell and back and as long as you got those around you who love and understand you unconditionally that's all that keeps you up. this film spans for generations, showing their triumphs, and their struggles. where as nothing is ever easy and you have to struggle to have a descent life and just get by. this family who try to teach their children all the good and keep away from the bad, but no matter how hard you try, there's only so much you can do. all grow up together, but at the same time apart. one is ashamed and embarressed by his latino culture, one wants to be a nun and then falls for a priest, and another is a rebel. he's a vato loco, you know. each of the characters has a story, and no matter what they do, it affects the whole family. they face injustice, hardships, and suffering. it's a long story and one that will sure leave and impression on you. it's just a normal family going through tough times, but having no choice but do the best they can to get on with their lives. the whole cast is excellent. they make the movie what it is for real. constance marie, plays tony, she's fabulous. wonderful actress, and you she gives you that chicana vibe strait up. she's always been one of my favorites. edward james olmos, cool cat. good man, and he's done well in all of his films. great actor, and is well recognized. he played it real. esai morales, aka chucho, man this guy is real. he's a bad boy. very talented and perfect for these types of roles. one of the best. and of course we can't forget about jimmy smits, aka jimmy, he's also one of my favorites. he gots that tough guy thing about him, and you can't help but pay attention you know. this role was made for him. out of control tough guy, who has to straiten out for the sake of his son. no more gang life, prison time, or any of that. and he does a great job. i got nothing more to say other than this is a masterpiece in my eyes.
