One of the best films I've ever seen

This is a must see. I can't believe that a few thought it was boring or sappy. It is beautiful and heartfelt with incredible acting. It is about love, bonding and the hardships of immigration. I can't wait for it to come out in the theatres so I can see it again, and I will buy it when it is released on video. Beautiful film. It's a tear jerker but not in a mushy, sappy way. It is about reality. It has all the components of a great film: synchronicity, irony, comical moments and tears.

"I want to find my mum!" Now that was a funny trailer.

I saw the trailer when I went to see Juno too! :) And I went to see Juno twice and they showed it again.

Mermaid--sorry, but immigration doesn't entail this sort of hardship--if it's done through legal means.

Only if your rich enough to immigrate here legally. Have you seen the costs lately?

i met someone who came here ilegally and paid about $3,000 for someone to help her and this was several years ago.

If this is one of the best films you've ever seen, then - I'm sorry - but you're a gad-dumb philistine. How many of the following "films" are also in your all-time top five?

>> My Big Fat Greek Wedding
>> Pay it Forward
>> Bruce Willis' The Kid
>> Selena
>> Pretty Woman

All of these movies are about love, bonding, community and transcendence. Doesn't mean they're worth a Sh*t.

I have not seen this movie yet. I will probably make an effort to see it at some point over the weekend or next week.

I have to say this...this is a terrible title. It just is. Talk about a cliche, meaningless, boring title, this is it. Also, did anyone see this and Babel? Kind of reminds me of just one of the plotlines in Babel. I didn't really like the way they did that in Babel.

Anyway, if it's that good I'll go see it.

[–] sneaker-peeker 16 years ago

The Mexican immigrants’ plotline in Babel was way too straight forward and simplistic. The story in this movie is a lot more intricate since it has a lot of turns and a great climax.

PS: Never mind the title, it's like judging a book by its cover.

What is your point? That you have a different opinion than someone else on what is a good movie? If that was it then I guess you made it.

Only idiots co-opt pithy little rejoinders from art house movies to stage ad hominem attacks against their intellectual masters.

Wow, my first message room spar. What a rush.

Completly and absolutely agree with u!! in all your words... and the best i think was the kid, Adrian Alonso ...he was awesome!! :]

I agree with you. I've only watched this movie one time, but remember it vividly. The whole story of a mother searching for her son is a universal concept that everyone can understand and empathize with. And the actors were perfect.

I rated it a 10.
