    I understand most of the people who come to this site are not hispanics, and because of that everybody is posting the " don't care" deal.
    I'm not gonna try and address inmigration subjects on this forum but I will say this: This movie is intelligent,non-predictable and straight out funny.
    It will make you cry and I don't care if you have a heart of stone, it WILL move you.
    And unlike 10,000 b.c. for example , you will come out of the theatre completely satisfied that you went and saw it.
    Definetly up there with any good holliwood / international movie. I hate it when people clap their hands at the end of a good show, but this time I joined the ovation.
    10 out of 10..

    HOW COME U DON'T CARE? U CARED ENOUGH TO BE HERE POSTING...SO DONT BE CYNICAL!

    " ***** " OH LORD, JESUS, POPE, OR WHOEVER YOU WANT TO RELY ON TO SOUND BELIEVABLE...

    People, and let me say it again, P-E-O-P-L-E, please don't give up your ability to believe that you can actually go in and come out of a screening without finding new meanings or reconsidering your level of empathy for other human beings. Suspend your thoughts about immigration laws and do not feel LESS to ignore the club of the hearts of stone and selfish brains who here just want to stress that this POWERFUL AND EVOCATIVE film is only in theaters to justify illegals.

    This movie may be somewhat predictable for some, extremely unrealistic for others, or just too much of a "melodrama" for a person who probably has always had a bed, cereal, and his or her parents at the end of every day but that is the beauty of watching movies...WE ALL EITHER LEARN FROM THEM, CONSIDER NEW MEANINGS TO DIFFERENT THINGS, OR JUST GET DISTRACTED IN VAIN.

    By watching this film I confirm I'm not empty; I care.
