Bravo! It is refreshing to se a Latino story from the inside out. The diversity of perspectives were accurately captured with an endearing sense of humor. I am in awe of the high quality of work done on such a low budget. The story was interesting and basic in irs formula - what made it special is that it gave a real Latino insiders' view on society. The humor, the great humor! Every line hit its mark. The acting was phenomenal. i could sense the pride each of the Latino actors had to work on a Latino yet universal story. Thank you Evelina Fernández for writing, producing and acting in such an important breakthrough piece. You illuminated the various political and social attitudes Latinos/Chicanos in LA embody. Thank you for bringing this important project to life. This movie is THE REAL THING! IT delivered what was promised by MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING (which was a complete copout). Evelina Fernández, Thank you for addressing The Chicano Movement and showing that it is really alive. We are making progress. Those of us educated in college in the 1970's have been working hard for social change all these years. You gave it our voice in your Romantic Comedy. Thank You, Daniel Madrid - a fan, an artist, and short story writer in your Romantic Comedy. Thank You, Daniel Madrid - a fan, an artist, and short story writer
