I tried watching this movie several times. I really did. I heard a lot of hype about it. The characters in this movie are stereotypes of cubans and other Latin Americans. This was very annoying. They seemed more like cartoons than anything else. The music was great. Great performance by Tito Puentes. Celia Cruz'performance in English seemed forced and un-natural. Armand Assante's Spanish was atrocious! It sounded no where near anything close to Spanish. The movie was also very predictable. So much hype about this movie as usual coming from Hollywood. This is why I'm not going to see the Da Vinci Code. Too much Hype.
