if you still remember that summer when you have your first kiss and first boy or girlfriend and or first puppy love fling . this film be for you . ok so this movie would and will never win an oscar but a a dominican i love it . there be some thing in the movie that might just go right over your head if you be not part of the culture . the kid be raise by a grandma who both mother and father and the young son be baby and bath with a cafe bustelo tin ( sooo dominican . ) and judy be harass by the neighborhood men and go to church and light a prayer candle . the film brilliance be in those small detail . grant and it be not a pull out all the work cinematic extravaganza but it wasn not mean to be nor be it mean to be an educational tool for those want to learn about latin culture ( tip represent make new friend instead ) . more of a bitter sweet and faux cumentery and this film keep it real without take itself too seriously . a in the tradition of y tu mama tambien this be simply one boy come of age tale . i recommend it ( especialmente si eres dominicano . ) equal o ) .
