Having grown up in latin america, i can tell you that people don't behave like the people in this movie; the characters, very unlikable and forced, talk in a raspy voice, which is not normal, but it is surely intended to give it a sense of...something, something serious, something "real", making it very unreal and laughable. the movie, if not the director, takes itself very seriously, and the end result is a very gay, very self-absorbed idea that has nothing to relate to. don't waste your time with this one.
