For an outsider like me, this film is a top-notch concise explanation of the cuban-american condition. It tells of the feeling of displacement of a people forced to leave their beloved mother country, because life became too dangerous or unbearable there. It tells also of the community culture that grows up amongst these people, complete with the hope of some, that their homeland will change, and become free, and the angst of others that this hope will hold the community back in their new homeland, There is also a theme of personal responsibility running through this film as strongly as the Miami river runs through the eponymous city. The acting is first rate, with swiftly drawn, but accurately and tenderly delivered characters. The film touches on the politics of being cuban-american, but concentrates on the depth of humanity of the people it depicts.

I thought it was pretty good. It was really interesting and it gave you two sides to the story about those wanting to come to America fleeing from Cuba and how they think about the country they left behind and a possibility of what Fidel might have gone though had he come on a boat. It's interesting to watch. I say get it and watch it for yourself. I liked it personally. But again I like docudramas too. It had some light humor as well and drama and serious parts. Overall good flick. The ending didn't make me mad like some movies do. The ending is pretty believable if what happened in the film really happened laughing out loud!

The premise of this film sounded as though it could have possibilities. The arrival of an aging Fidel Castro to Florida is something unimaginable! The Cuban dictator and the exiles have been at odds ever since he came into power almost a half a century ago. Unfortunately, the team responsible for this comedy had no clue about what they were getting into.The creators of "I Love Miami", Alejandro Gonzalez Padilla and Monica Abin, don't bring anything new to a story that doesn't make any sense at all. Then, there is the central casting of Juan Luis Galiardo in the main role. The Spanish actor can't hide his accent at all, thus making the Fidel he is trying to portray, a caricature of the worst possible kind.The different accents used by the cast are distracting, adding to the overall effect of confusion. This is a film to be seen at the viewer's own risk.

This is a spoiler, so readers please be aware. Although this movie had the participation of Castro's Daughter it is not a guarantee of good production neither good acting, on one hand we have the over rated Mexican soap opera actors and an ex miss universe trying to play in a serious roll. In México they've been trying to sell the idea that is a good movie since it has popular actors and are trying to catch the eye of the press by selling the idea of Castro's Daughter telling some secrets about Fidel's life, just another lie. More than a drama this movie should be considered as pure science fiction next to Ed Woods work (sorry Ed), cheesy and boring. What will be next? a movie about Che Guevaras life trying to star in American Idol?
