Review of El cantante

I was so much looking forward to see this film, yet had to flip channels after 15 minutes of watching. Tried it a second time and the same happened. Unfortunately Marc Anthony and J Lo cant assume their roles as Hector and Pucci, they maintain themselves estranged from their mission on hand. The story line is bland, lacks precision as to the true life of "El Cantante". Also lacks resolve as to why Lavoe chose a path of self absorption. The Fania All Stars is close to non existent in the story, and Willie Colon just a pawn to lean on. Lavoe's grandeur is also absent from the story line. The mad genius is missed, and as to his musicality, Marc Anthony lacks authenticity to reveal why Lavoe made it in the big city.
