This movie was OK but the plot's been used many times before. Guy and girl come home to parents and announce they are getting married. Then both families have to get along as they plan the wedding. And of course either the dads or the moms don't get along. In this case, it's the dad that don't get along. It starts from the beginning as Lucia's dad, Miguel, whom tows trucks, picks up Marcus's dads, Brad, car to impound. Brad arrives in time but Miguel still tows the car. Then they have dinner with their kids that night and meet for the second time and find out they are to be in laws. So much quarreling ensues.The best scene is when Migual and Brad go to this bar to find a dj and Miguel gets hammered on pink nipples. Of course, the kids have second thoughts but everything works out in the end.FINAL VERDICT: Not very interesting. Skip it.

I am so shocked at the polarizing views on this movie. The ridiculous high standards placed on this simple film about its plot and purpose. This is no documentary. It is a very funny comedy about two families. Clearly, their is a significant amount of intellectual elitism that exists over race in this country. From the amateur comments to the professional critics, the focus on racial elements of this film are misguided and unwelcome. It is a comedy about two families that happen to be Black and Latino. A 3 star rating is absurd compared to the volumes of exploitative ethnic action and comedy flicks of complete nonsense, and worn out plots that receive twice the rating. Clearly, this films subject matter prevents far too many from enjoying a simple comedy by feeling like they must dissect this inter-racial plot into being something it is not. Lighten up! Can we all just get along??

For once I wish that I had at least glanced at some reviews of this movie, thus saving me money and an excruciating amount of time sitting through this drivel. Every insipid stereotype, stupid cliché, and corny joke was tried, and each failed completely. I am not even going to go there about the goat and the bottle of Viagra. For the most part, the talent was there, but I got the sense that each one had been given a large dose of some drug just to make it through the motions. For the entire movie, it felt like even the actors did not want to be there, and I cannot say that I blame them one bit. By the way, the goat had the best lines (ahem: none).

I completely disagree with gregeichelberger's review. I thought this was a great film and I don't see why gregeichelberger was so concerned with WHITE people. This film is not about WHITE people. Now that does not mean that this film cannot be enjoyed by White people, but this film concerns race relations between two cultures that have had issues over the years. I get the impression that gregeichelberger does not understand this fact nor appreciate how prevalent these issues are today. Either way, please do not take his review as the gospel truth.The basic plot of the story is pretty standard; a young couple fall in love and their parents do not like each other at all. However, with this film there is the added element of race relations between Latin and African American cultures. These relations are portrayed through numerous hilarious actions and comments that are not race sensitive, but definitely reflective of historic issues between the cultures and very funny. If you know Spanish you will definitely get more of a laugh out of this film.Throughout the beginning of the movie young couple sort of roll with the punches as their families clamor to claim what aspects of what culture will be represented in the weeding. As the film progresses the couple goes through adversity based on their families craziness, but they find a way through it with some touching scenes.More importantly the two families begin to work to gather to plan the weeding and make sure both cultures feel respected and included in the weeding. This is another point that I feel like gregeichelberger may have missed. The weeding is a mixture of the two families' joint effort. There is a mixture of music with a Marachi band playing through part of the weeding and a DJ spinning R&B through part of the weeding (which is a funny scene where Miguel and Brad go to a club and look for a DJ). The young couple jumps a broom and both families pick the groom up and through him up and down. There is even a scene where Lucia's gangster cousin teaches Marcus how to do a little dance.I think the basic point of the movie escaped gregeichelberger completely and this may be an important point for anyone interested in watching this film. I don't think this film was meant to be PC, this film was meant to display issues that exist between two communities. The creators of this film went out of there way to identify certain stereotypes and issues that these two communities have with each other and found comedic ways to display this issues.However, the great part of the film is that the families find a way to have a great weeding after all this craziness. This would be the resolution that gregeichelberger seemed to miss. The weeding day starts off as a disaster but they piece it together. The two families actually have a laugh together when they realize how crazy things have become over the weeding. At this point they actually bonded and place their difference aside for the young couple. They come to a realization that Marcus and Lucia love each other and that is something that family has to respect no matter how crazy they are.I guess to sum it up, this film will appeal to you if you are not African-American, Latino or aware of the issues between these two communities because it has humor and heart. However, I do think it is important to understand that this film address issues between these two communities and makes a point to illustrate the issues in a blunt and realistic way, while being humorous at the same time. This is important because the jokes in the film are not simply random jokes. They are jokes based on the issues between these two communities and I believe people should be aware of this. If you go see this film with you loved ones I think you will laugh, maybe even cry, but I think you will enjoy this film because it was well done.
