Rating:  - great date movie
I really enjoyed this movie. I got a little misty myself. Strong acting, solid musical performances. I liked the "follow your dreams" theme and the side story of the woman who thinks she is too old to be sexy. Obviously not! Viva la musica!
Rating:  - Great movie.
I saw a preview for Sueno in the beginning of The Baxter.
Excellent movie, love John Leguizamo, I highly recommend it.
Rating:  - Music By The Numbers--Leguizamo And Company Want To Put On A Show!
John Leguizamo is an engaging performer and perhaps one of our most underrated personalities. His willingness to take risks and unconventional roles has led to a more diverse film career than you might expect. Unfortunately, more often than not, these choices have taken him down a dubious path. With a resume littered with more interesting "misses" than artistically successful films, Leguizamo still manages to stand out as a talent--his bravado and gusto usually the best thing in a picture that ...

Rating: - Just a Nice Little Film...With Terrific Music
Like most films that feature a lot of great music, the story itself here is nothing to get excited about. Even so, the acting is excellent, the story IS charming, and my wife got all misty about the romance aspect of it. Highly recommended as part of a romantic date night in...even if you've been married to your date for a while.
Rating: - A disappointing film with great music.
The story is very trite. It just seemed to move very slowly plot-wise in the first 45 min. John Leguizamo appears to be lip-synching in about half the songs he is singing. I noted that Elizabeth Pena also appeared to be lip-synching in one song. John is about 35, but managed to pull off looking 20 pretty well. The music was great, and should please Latino audiences and others of us who love Latin music and are not Latino. Watch this film for the music and you will not be disappointed.
