Victor Manuel Castro's gender bending romantic comedy Hembra o Macho stars Lorena Herrara as an exotic dancer who hires a repressed lawyer after being involved in a traffic accident. Deciding to mess with the layer because of his homophobic beliefs, the dancer begins flirting with him while pretending to be a transvestite. Sure enough, the games get more complicated when the layer begins to fall in love. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

The Spanish-language drama Arriba el Telón follows the exploits of many different actors and behind-the-scenes workers who make a living in the theater. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

If your idea of a "bus picture" is It Happened One Night, the Spanish Bus Station will prove quite an eye-opener. There's the usual cross-section of passengers, all strangers at first, friends afterward. And there are quite a few amazing adventures en route, some of them hair-raising. The main drawing card of the story is sex--sex performed on and off the road by the temporary denizens of the bus station and bus. No "walls of Jericho" in this one. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

El Mofles (Rafael Inclan) is a poor mechanic who works at the Los Pits garage in this low-budget comedy. When he finds a bag full of money, Mofles is elated until the crooks who stole the loot come looking for him and the missing cash. Music groups Generacion 2000, Los Chicanos, and Grupo Centarario appear to help add to the thin plot. The comedy highlight is a birthday celebration that turns into a drunken fiesta. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

In this comedy that's heavy with one-liners, the work ethic takes a drubbing and family values are touted as the true source of happiness, even for crooks. "El Multiple" (Rafael Inclan) is a devoted father and husband who loads up on stolen goods, smuggles his family and the loot into the United States, and then strikes it rich by selling his merchandise for high prices. In contrast to "El Multiple," Don Proculo (Pedro Weber) works hard to get a better life for himself by pouring his energy into his antique shop. One day while he's away on vacation, someone breaks into his store and steals everything of value. Don Proculo is forced out of business and "El Multiple" comes back, looking for a place to start a small family restaurant. For the characters in this film, family means more than a business, or the goods which so readily (and illegally) change hands. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This across-the-border comedy features a heavy-footed Mexican cab driver who's pointed remarks fly just as fast as her cab. ~ Rovi

This routine music-filled drama is aimed directly at younger teen and pre-teen audiences willing to ignore flaws in directing and acting for the fun of seeing their idol, the 16-year-old Luis Miguel perform his songs. One of Luis's fans dreams of him night and day, and when the two finally meet on his concert tour, it is under trying circumstances. The fan has just witnessed a murder and runs away to escape capture or certain death at the hands of the killers. As she frantically searches for a way to elude the men chasing her, she encounters her hero Luis Miguel and he comes to her rescue -- what else? ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
