Just how far would you go to get financing for your business? Donald Chandler is the owner of a restaurant who suddenly finds himself without a business or a job when his wife leaves him, taking the deed to the eatery with her. Eager to start over, Donald goes into a business partnership with Miguel Sanchez, a gardener who was taking care of Donald's lawn until he won a fortune in the lottery.

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.

The movie's a light romantic comedy. So how deep can the script really get? The story is harmless, and the humor is sweet, simple, and steady. The low budget only adds to the charm. They find some nice locals and have a simple but effective soundtrack.The cast is familiar and gets the job done. It is more interesting to watch Laura Harring try on a different role than to see Hugh Grant once again reprise his "usual" character in another equally implausible romantic comedy. It is satisfying to get more smiles and laughs from a film that has far less budget and star power than the weak "You, Me, and Dupree".It's worth the watch because it's what you expect...with a little more.

Writing about bad movies is easier. Just throw the insults in and that's it. Writing about really bad movies is somewhat harder. And then there is Loco Love. This will remain as THE movie that I "had" to stop watching because my DVD-player would not agree to play it. I can't blame it because the whole "movie" ( I don't know if the word can be used because I don't think it follows any standards of movie making itself). Loco Love is the word for low budget. There is practically no story ( a rip-off of My big fat Greek wedding ), no direction, the sound seems to come from space when people are near each other...and even one of the lead male actors seems to have a fake moustache. What were these people thinking? The one star in this system stands for awful but in my case it is funny kind of awful. Because this must be and is a joke.

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.
