Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTalisa Soto, who plays Ana, and Benjamin Bratt, who plays Che, are married in real life. They met on the set of Blood In, Blood Out (1993) where Rene, played by Jesse Borrego, stars alongside Benjamin Bratt.
- GoofsThe memorial in Che's garage indicates his wife died in 1985. The banners in the graduation scene read "La Mission High School Class of 2009". Since it is very clear Jes was a model student, it is doubtful he would be graduating high school at the age of 24 or higher.
- Quotes
Che Rivera: Stay brown.
Kenny: Can't do nothin' but.

Featured review
One of the best
This movie is smart, passionate, down to earth, poignant, heartbreaking and heartwarming. Superb acting, scenery, setting and supporting cast.
Benjamin Bratt and Erika Alexander are inspired in starring roles. But the supporting cast is rich with excellent actors. The resultant effect is a true ensemble feeling. Intertwined with the main story - about a man and his high school son who is emerging as a gay man - are many subplots that help paint a richer picture of the barrio and the culture:
There are the low rider cars - colorful and flamboyant. And there is the life of the neighborhood, hanging on the stoops, getting along with the people next door.
This is a must see.
