Mi Vida Loca (1993) was another film released during the brief Latino film craze in Hollywood during the early 90's. The stories were not that entertaining on one hand, but if you're into overacted schlock then you'll have a field day with this film. I have grown up around these type of people. Some of the things in this film are a bit authentic but for the most part it's filled with glaring stereotypes and flat out bad acting. But I am so hating on Jesse Borrego's character El Duran (he's a very underrated actor in my humble opinion). El Duran rolls around in a bad ride, dresses like a pimp and has a hot Salma Hayek riding shotgun. Is this movie worth watching. No, but if you like cheesy films like Blood in Blood Out.., you'll enjoy this flick. Mousey was real cute, very feminine unlike most of the cast. Cheers.Not recommended.D

This movie portraying the life of cholas and cholos (gangsta chicks/vatos)living in the hood of Echo parke!) The movie has some good potential to the raw image of the street life. it portrays gang members being jumped by fellow members to be in their gang. It has very poor acting and often shifts the story and doesnt focus too much on one subject. This movie could of had more potential in the box office if it had been casted alot better. These are first time actors who need to get some more acting skills. Thats partly why I thought it was a bit humorous in some parts. I mean one of the hoods didnt know how to deal drugs or return a page. i mean common they aint that stupid ih the hood. SO it was a bit funny (guilty pleasure) Knowing that these are all studio gangstas.

It is so much like the world I grew up in during my high school years that there isn't a character in the movie I can't identify with. Everytime I watch it, it's like I'm watching a home video of me and my old friends....

Hi my name is Shanita and I just want to give you all a brief summary about a movie called Mi Vida Loca.This movie is about two girls who grew up together and was really good best friends,they even got jumped in the Ecko Park gang at the same time.When the girls got older one of them was in the hospital given birth to her baby, and when she came back home she had found out her best friend had got pregnant by her baby's father.That start a big disagreement between the two girls,so they had planned a day to meet each other so that they could fight.They were so scared of each other that they told their baby's by in away that seemed like good bye forever. Once they had met up to fight they were so scared that they were going to kill each other but they didn't and this story goes on and on but I think you should watch it. I think this was a very good movie that all teens especially should see it really gives you a wake up call on life period.
