Great movie! Excellent acting and story line! I give it a 10. The Olmos did it again! This movie had me on the edge of my seat hoping things would work out for Filly. It showed how much discrimination there still is in this country. Really sad what drugs can do to a mother's judgment. Drugs clouding a persons everything and amongst that, she put her own daughter's life in jeopardy. I was really glad to see that talent runs in the Olmos family. Like father like son! Watching this movie is a must. I need to buy it and add it to my movie library!

First time i saw the trailer i said. Got to go check out this movie at the theaters, why wait for the DVD to come out. I Went in to see this film and i got to say fine performances by each and every cast member. Gina Rodriguez never heard of her. Very talented actress she blew me away, driven and so devoted to her family. Lou Diamond Philips an honest hard working man,good father. His role for this movie was perfect. The other characters very genuine also. This film was shot in Los Angeles,California, The movie starts off with the sight seeing of Downtown Los Angeles. When you read reviews on this movie, read positive reviews, don't read the bad ones. Those who didn't like the film did not relate to it or the story did not appeal to them. Aside from the overall current rating this movie has, it deserves a much higher rating. The story of this film is one of those rare films that draw you in the characters, and you relate to it. So go watch it. Take a friend, girlfriend, or even by yourself. It's pretty cool.

I always found IMDb a serious site but i begin to loose sight of that.Of course that's not the flaw of the site or the makers/owners. But the sort of people that give a rating to a film or show doesn't say anything to me anymore.Just read the handful of reviews on this and don't look at this absurd rating. This film has soul and emotion and beauty and art in it.Don't gonna spoil anything. Just please , watch it. it's a great film with a warm hart.Very good performances from all the actors. Thus i also do not share the opinion from the end rating so far.

I saw this by mistake actually and I'm glad I did! Man what a powerhouse this movie is! Majo (Gina Rodriguez) struggles to make it in the hip hop scene and that means awesome tracks and fast raps.But there's a lot more...we follow her family as well and while success comes, her personal life is a mess. But despite being lied to and manipulated she sticks to what she believes in and goes further then anyone believed.What amazed me was the musical story which basically follows her development as a person, from a shy girl that writes slam poetry to a young woman that's not afraid to let her voice be heard.Do not miss this because the casting, the music and the plot makes this a great enjoyment, it gave me goosebumps! Thumbs up!*More reviews on The Trailerpark*
