Such a frustrating disappointment

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Blistering performances.

This movie is a definite cheesy formulaic romantic comedy. The biggest drawback is the acting, which is sometimes wooden and forced. In general not that great. On the plus side, the cinematography is good. Shot on location in California, it looks like a professional job (as opposed to your neighbor filming with the new camcorder). As for the plot, well as a formulaic movie it is exactly what you expect, but if you like Romantic comedies would you really want it any other way?? In general I would describe this movie like "Taming of the Shrew" meets "A Million to Juan" meets "Beauty and the Beast." My wife and I rented it from the dollar section of our local video rental store. It is an OK way to pass two hours, but I wouldn't buy the video.

Well, the movie is entertaining if you want to see how low can an acting quality sink. The main male lead - astonishingly horrible :(. But it does support the theory that having good looks will get you already half the way: in his case into a bad comedy with horrible cast.The female lead - i know that she can even act though not in this particular movie - how did she ever end up in such a production??!Rest of the cast - .. no comments.This movie is a must for every wannabe-actor/actress for learning what should they avoid in the future.2/10 - generous score

This modern Latin take on 'Taming of the Shrew' is a complete waste of your time and money! The script throws out a couple of interesting ideas and characters but never develops any of them. A Hispanic gardener wins a lottery fortune on the same night his boss gets dumped by his rich wife. In order to open a new restaurant and hang on to his home, the boss agrees to marry the gardener's shrewish, but beautiful sister. The 'crazy' Mexican clan move in with the uptight white guy and before you can say 'ay carumba' they are all one big happy family. The pacing is slow, the look is cheap and the actors are badly directed. It makes 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' look like a classic film!

Poor cast, predictable story, bad audio, horrible wardrobe, appalling direction...it could not stink more. My eight-year-old son can do better with a cheap video camera. Avoid this turkey at all costs.Major pet peeves: everyone mumbles and the stupid annoying fake moustache.
