I can't help it- I love this movie and have every line memorized. I guess it's not these other guys thing!

Very cute story about a mother getting what she wanted and what her son needed in '80s Mexico. Production quality and sound poor, subtitles that go by so fast you can't read them, but still worth 90 minutes.

I hate panning a movie! But I have to weigh in with the previous comments about the subtitles. I only saw at most the first 20 minutes. There was on scene I replayed three times and still could not read the subtitle. A problem with the DVD itself, not related direction/acting/story kept me from seeing the whole movie - it would not play at all on a regular DVD player, skipped on two PC DVD drives and an stopped on an X-Box 360). The 20 minutes I watched just did not catch me enough for me to ask for another copy, and I am sure the subtitles were central to this!!
