I am late to the party on this one but want to share my thoughts in the hopes that others will catch this in DVD. In light of the recent immigrant wars, movies like this one and Real Women Have Curves paints the struggle of those people in a whole different light. The movie is indeed funny at times. The real story though is relationships between mothers and daughters, and haves and have "less". The real stars in this film are Paz Vega (nearly brilliant) and Shelbie Bruce. At the end of the film is an interaction between them that will bring an understanding and well earned tear to any parents eye, regardless of where we were born.
