I was very disappointed with this movie. Based on the summary outline, I thought I would see somewhat of a gangsta story with some plot and redeeming features. Unfortunately all this movie provided me was a very slow moving story of various machismo gangsta's being shot off one by one and then the scene would shift and we would be left watching another one of the gangsta's funerals. There was a memorium at the end of the movie so I assume the story may be (loosely) based on a real life person(s) but the story telling that was narrated by one of the primary characters was very boring and the acting below par. Look for bit parts from actors Salma Hayek and Danny Trejo before they were well known stars with a list of movie credits behind them. As for the main stars in this film, just like some of the gangsta's in this movie who were killed off, I guess their portrayal of a mob girl was just a bit too (un)real and so their movie careers died. Go figure.

Well let's see...I saw this movie when I was about twelve years old and thought it was pretty good considering it was a low budget film, and I still do give credit to the makers of it for that aspect. However I am afraid to say that being grown up and realizing that gangs are anything but cool and that two women getting pregnant by the same man and fighting for him, is by far what defines Mexican culture. Therefore I am going to have to give this movie two thumbs down. The movie does nothing but show the negative aspects of ghetto life and places Hispanic faces to portray it.Main characters Mousie and Sad Girl never change throughout the movie. In fact almost all the characters are pretty one-dimensional and have no revelation or turn-around whatsoever. The only character to change was Giggles when she decides to get a job with computers but the other girls look at her as if they don't know the meaning of the word. They think she's weird for wanting to better herself so instead they sit around at home, don't go to school, deal drugs and bring their children around the other gang members. There's even an irrelevant part where Sad Girl is "tripping out" because she only has two food stamps left. Little lines like that that have no meaning or relevance to the progression of the story make me cease to wonder why Hollywood insists on making Hispanics be portrayed so poorly.To the makers of this movie...Shame on you.

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.
