Casi Casi (2006)

Member Rating:

Directors Jaime and Tony Vallés's Spanish-language, teen-oriented romantic comedy Casi, Casi unfolds in a Puerto Rican high school. Backward and introverted Emilio (Mario Pabon) nurtures a deep-seated infatuation for the class princess, Jacklynne Matos (Maite Canto) and views her through rose-colored glasses that utterly blind him to her jerk streak. He devises a wild scheme to attract her attention with a successful bid for president of the Student Council - but discovers, all too late, that she is running opposite him. In a last-minute reversal, Emilio and his five colorful friends opt to break into the school computer system and "fix" the race in the girl's favor (thus rendering Emilio infinitely more attractive to Jacklynne) but must contend with the doings of the monstrous, icewater-veined principal, Raquel Richardson (Marian Pabon). ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Part teen comedy, part caper, with a dash of romance and a lot of thrills, "Casi Casi" is a refreshingly exciting High School romp. The movie follows Emilio and his five pals trying to woo the girl of his dreams, the popular Jacklynne, and the resulting mayhem is a joy to watch. The first half presents the quirky group of friends and their arch-nemesis, the deliciously evil Principal Richardson. As the plot unfolds, the tone shifts into a heist movie in full-out "Mission: Impossible" mode, complete with chase sequences and daring rescues. There's no violence or guns, but the film has a level of urgency and suspense not typically found in this genre. The music deserves particular kudos, with a blend of epic orchestral score and latin salsa tunes. The DVD includes a very candid audio commentary as well as a fun "making-of" feature. It's amazing how a film can be made with such few resources and still provide honest and exciting family entertainment.

I told my children they were to watch this movie for their spanish school lesson; they hated the idea of having to sit thru the hour and a half but they had no other choice. Before the movie was half way thru they could not stop. Now they have watched this movie over 50 times; and every time a friend comes over they want to show them the movie. The plot, the music, the drama that unfolds, the suspense and the unexpected end; good comedy for the whole family!!!!!!!!!!
