This movie is about a teenage boy living in Puerto Rico, named Emilio, who grows a crush on the his school's most popular girl. I admit, I sounds cliché, but the humor, characters, crazy plot line, and moral of the story is what makes this such an adorable film. Basically, he tries to run for school President in order to impress his crush, with the help of his loyal and hilarious group of friends. One of his friends overhears the girl chatting with some other girls, and soon discovers that she is also running for President. So Emilio is now running against the girl he likes, uh oh.. The movie is goofy and stupid, however that's what makes it so great. The movie knows how silly it is, with it's dramatic mission impossible theme to it and ridiculous characters. The art of stupid- comedy is no mistake, but yet is often misunderstood as a mistake. Also, if you are a non native Spanish speaker who is currently trying to work on their Spanish comprehension, is is a great movie to practice with, for the dialogue isn't too hard to understand (warning: there is quite a large number of cursing, if case you're not all into that). I watched this in my Spanish 4 AP class a while ago, everyone in my class was glued to it, and we all cracked up throughout the film. I was shocked of how entertaining it was, and everyone else in my class seemed to grow fond of it as well.

This Puerto Rican movie is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. While it may seem childish at first glance, it serves a grander purpose, and sends an endearing message and moral to all of its viewers.What is the message? That love is tricky, as Emilio finds out, and even though you may believe that one girl is the girl of your dreams, sometimes true love is right beside you the whole time. Also, this movie shows viewers the importance of staying loyal to close friends. This movie has ever aspect of a captivating film - a hero, a villain, and a wonderful ending that features a moral that the viewers can take in, and apply to their own lives. The evil Principal Richardson certainly adds a sense of unpredictability, especially when the group of friends are in the computer lab, changing results of the voting.

This movie was a fascinating look at modern day life in a Puerto Rican high school. It is funny and witty with great young performers who carry the movie brilliantly from scene to scene. It is a great family movie that all members can enjoy yet the message to young people about love and the loyalty of good friends is well presented without falling into a moralistic trap.Too bad Puerto Rico doesn't produce more gems such as these. If it did Puerto Rico would be a world leader in film production for markets in the US, Latin America and Europe. Once this sleeping giant awakens look out!!!

Very refreshing. Ms. Irene Lucio as Maria Eugenia and her eye and facial expressions remind me of the great Charlie Chaplin, not too many people have that ability to make you laugh by just looking at their expressions. Emilo's character, dorky looking is the typical nice guy predestined to fail, nice guys always end up last, but he perseveres in his pursuit to catch the attention of the girl he likes and believes to be in love overlooking the fact that love has always been so close to him that he couldn't see it. The movie gives you a good lesson on friendship and teamwork. The movie is very good, different, simple yet comical. The linguistic expressions for those knowing "pouertorrican" Spanish are accurate. Situation presented can be a reflection of real life at a private school in Puerto Rico. What makes this movie so appealing is its simplicity I loved it, can't have enough of it.
