Hands down !!! Greatest dance movie of all time. I remember seeing this movie back when I was younger.. My mom was totally in love with it. So I ended up buying it for her for Christmas about two years ago. I totally forgot we had it.. Recently I put it in the DVD player and it has been in since.. watching it every night!!! Its got me singing "puerto Rico" in the shower every time I take one.. There is even parts of this movie that cause me to cry, because I can really relate to the way Rico was living. Man, its just like everything about this movie has me like wanting more! If you haven't seen this movie. Buy it! You won't regret it.

The most romantic,/passionate movie ever Also sad to an extent when it comes to family matters.

I'm not kidding, I believe it can be scientifically proved that if you prick a hole in this flick, it will collapse as the air goes out of it. There is no plot. What hint of one that there is, has been carelessly recycled from far superior pictures; honestly, why is this even a movie? The reason it was made is clear: The dancing and the tunes, both of which are reasonably plentiful in this(and I am not at all the person to ask if it's any good, but presumably so, since it was the basis for putting this thing together to begin with). Why not merely do, I don't know, music videos or something? They had nothing to tell, there is no actual point to this, it is literally all assembled around aforementioned focus, and this *shows*, in the worst kind of way. The editing and cinematography are completely standard, at best. We get an utterly intolerable(well, all of them are, he's the strongest offender, though) main character, a Michael Jackson wanna-be, no charisma, he's just got moves, and his Elvis is irritating. This is about some contest, and do you really care? He wants to be world-famous at it... is that like the Hispanic version of being a basket player or a rapper? This doesn't have a single funny moment to be found in the 100 slow, dull, painful minutes that it lasts. There's unconvincing romance. Also, eye-candy for the two genders. If this is somehow cheaper to rent than a set of salsa instruction DVDs or something, I guess its existence is slightly validated. There is a little mild to moderate language and suggestive material in this. I recommend this solely to those who aren't interested in, or expect, any value from it that relates to the medium of film. 1/10
