This is a feel good movie about something that deserves being felt good about. Too often "feel good movies" are about sex, drugs, rock and roll, or anything that serves in the selfish interest of person. This is about how family, and cultural values can impact for good. Some have written that the movie is on their side of the abortion issue. More importantly, this movie is about helping someone who is forced into a situation that looks like it is going to make life disastrous by someone who has been living disastrously since being involved in a catastrophe. What takes this movie up a notch is the talent. The characters are wonderful as well as the music. I especially enjoyed the acoustic vocals. The family scenes are touching and the movie as a whole is a refreshing look at a Latino situation that isn't ruled by drugs, poverty, over expressed machismo or some other tragic element.
