If you haven't lived long enough to get to point in life where you wish your life could change then this film is just a great comedy. But if you have, then this film is great comedy, drama, social commentary, and quality entertainment all in one.Simple plot, five guys, four dreams, one suit. The suit is not magical; but, as a placebo the first four men gain the confidence to express themselves as they have always dreamed and their lives change. The last guy, Vamanos, (masterfully played by Olmos) doesn't have a dream as he was forced into the "suit-buying club". On Vamanos, the suit again becomes a catalyst for life changing events but it requires a lot of help from the first four men.

Although this film has some of the funniest Latin comedians inluding Sid Caesar and Martinez (Gomez in the 1990's Addams Family) this film has a good plot, but somehow lacks the hilarity. Maybe it is the quickly switching between characters. One moment the film is focused on the helpless romantics, next a political activist who can get his voice heard, then Sid Casear as homeless man with filthy habits. Although there a some of slapstick humor it is unfortunately too far apart.

This little low-budget jewel should become a classic. It's fun, intelligent, and hilarious. Bravo!

This is the story of Gomez, a man who has a dream of owning an ice cream white suit that he saw in a local suit store. He needs $100 to buy this suit but only has $20. He recruits Dominguez (a skilled guitar player), Villanazul (a talented speaker) and Martin (young kid) to help buy the suit. They are all the same height, same weight and same build. One catch together they only have $80. They then reluctantly recruit Vamenos a stinky and dirty homeless man who has $20. Upon buying the suit they decide to wear it 1 hour each. This is when they discover that the suit makes the wearer's dreams come true as well as building a friendship between 5 men. In the end Martin sums it up the best. He says, this morning I had no friends but tonight I have many friends.
