Puerto Rican Mambo (Not a Musical) (1992) User Reviews

underrated and marvelous low budget film!

[mariposarosa2 · 1 September 2004]

This film is one of the funniest I have ever seen! If you like classic

Woody Allen, you will thoroughly enjoy Luis Cabellero's funny, off

the cuff, tongue in cheek, deadpan, brilliant narration as we get to

know him as a "little brown man." This politically incorrect film

knocks every stereotype out there about Latinos (specifically

Puerto Ricans). John Leguizamo is also fabulous in the many

sketches in the movie. (He is billed as Johnny Leggs.)

We all should watch this film in this day and age. It really reminds

us of the crazinees and futility of stereotypes in contemporary

society.

Original and Thought Provoking Comedy

This is one of the most profound and realistic films portraying the Puerto Rican experience in what they thought would be the "promised land". The film manages to keep you laughing while still getting the point across.

Unique Comedy well worth seeing

Unique style and original content make this biting comedy worth seeing. A must-see for independent film makers on how less can really be more.
