Gustavo may be the only one of Greta's relatives who will put up with her, but to his credit (and despite numerous provocations), he is a loyal nephew to this lively, demanding and uncomfortable woman. At first she is sleeping in her nephew's childrens' room, but her erratic sleeping habits disturb the youngsters and the family moves her into a maid's room near the roof of their house. Greta wants to be helpful; she washes dishes after meals from time to time, but breaks a great many of them. She also tries to pass messages along when she answers the phone but forgets them or messes them up. When she breaks a leg while running for the bus, the amount of care she needs is almost more than the beleaguered family can manage. Luckily, she has an old friend who is better situated who says that she wants to take care of her for the company she can provide. Greta blossoms in her new freedom and even undertakes an autumnal romance with an attractive old man named Pascual. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In this Mexican supernatural drama, a bereaved mother is granted three wishes after she makes a pact with the devil. Her first wish is to bring her son back from the dead.

One of several films produced by a group of Mexico's independent filmmakers, this heart-warming Christmas tale by director Fernando Cortez is oriented toward family viewing. Meant to awaken the spirit of this season, the story centers around a young boy (Emir Angel Dupeyron) who wants to remind his parents and his neighbors what Christmas is really about. His mother (Beatrice Aguirre) and father (Jorge Martínez de Hoyos) are compassionate and understanding parents and so the boy's new-found mission is not exactly a hopeless cause. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This is a basically entertaining version of the little girl in the red, hooded cape who sets off to her grandmother's house with a basket of goodies and an admonition from her mother. In this instance, young Maria Garcia won out over stiff competition for the moppet lead, and the nasty, vile wolf who thinks he can disguise himself is played by Manuel "El Loco" Valdez. Given his comedic talents, it is apparent from his first scene that this wolf might be fun, and even open to reform. The setting is a small village of woodcutters, and aside from Grandmama and other stock characters, the addition of a Lovelorn Fox acts as a foil to the wolf. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This 1949 western focuses on Mexican culture and music. ~ John Bush, Rovi
