Being a Laura Harring fan I decided to buy the DVD despite the horrible reviews, thinking maybe the reviews weren't correct. ALAS! I was wrong. The movie was cliché, the characters were unconvincing and the storyline ..well lets just say you're better off watching paint dry. Yes I sound harsh, trust me it pains me to write such a review for a Laura Harring movie. But being a fan of hers from Mulholland Dr, I expected the sensual fiery Laura.However, she comes off mellow, dry and distracted in the movie. There are bits of comedy but are they worth watching the movie? NO. Watch this movie on a lazy summer night when you just want to make time pass.

Well, the movie is entertaining if you want to see how low can an acting quality sink. The main male lead - astonishingly horrible :(. But it does support the theory that having good looks will get you already half the way: in his case into a bad comedy with horrible cast.The female lead - i know that she can even act though not in this particular movie - how did she ever end up in such a production??!Rest of the cast - .. no comments.This movie is a must for every wannabe-actor/actress for learning what should they avoid in the future.2/10 - generous score

This modern Latin take on 'Taming of the Shrew' is a complete waste of your time and money! The script throws out a couple of interesting ideas and characters but never develops any of them. A Hispanic gardener wins a lottery fortune on the same night his boss gets dumped by his rich wife. In order to open a new restaurant and hang on to his home, the boss agrees to marry the gardener's shrewish, but beautiful sister. The 'crazy' Mexican clan move in with the uptight white guy and before you can say 'ay carumba' they are all one big happy family. The pacing is slow, the look is cheap and the actors are badly directed. It makes 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' look like a classic film!

Poor cast, predictable story, bad audio, horrible wardrobe, appalling direction...it could not stink more. My eight-year-old son can do better with a cheap video camera. Avoid this turkey at all costs.Major pet peeves: everyone mumbles and the stupid annoying fake moustache.
