This movie's intentions are good. It examines the life of Puerto Rican immigrants and their children in New York City.
It has, however, the feel of a 16 millimeter project for a class. It was made before video. It was made before film schools. But it has the feel of a student assignment.
The direction is minimal. The plot is corny and far from original Yes, it does get intense in its later portion. So, though, do soap operas.
Some of the actors are good. Their intentions are very clearly good. But it's nothing one should rush to see. Its heart is in the right place but, unfortunately, that's about all that can be said for it.
