CineMovie is giving away movie tickets to see the family comedy Tio Papi, a new independent film screening in Pico Rivera, CA on Thursday, September 5th.
It was a bachelor's life for hard-working and fun-loving Ray Ray Dominguez (Joey Dedio) who dreams of leaving the barrio for a more carefree existence in Miami. That's until one day when everything changed and he became a reluctant Tio Papi to his sister¹s six children ages six to 16.
Now, in charge of raising this energetic (and expensive) clan, Ray Ray must make important decisions on what life really is all about. Combining heart-warming drama with light-hearted comedy, Tio Papi, directed by Fro Rojas from the original screenplay by Joey Dedio and Brian Herskowitz, is an upbeat story of life's unexpected surprises and ultimately what matters the most the love of family.

Maudlin and wholesome to a fault, "Tio Papi" is a family dramedy about a single guy who gives up his dream life when his sister dies and leaves him with six kids that he doesn't know how to raise.
It stumbles out of the gate by not showing anything of a "dream" life that New Yorker Ray Ray Dominguez (Joey Dedio) is giving up. He lives alone and saves his cash, yet he's behind on his rent. Way behind.
The film finds zero laughs in the worn-out situation of a bachelor -- Puerto Rican, in this case -- who suddenly has to cope with kids. A strained romance with a teacher (Elizabeth Rodriguez) he split from because he didn't want to be "tied down" with kids doesn't work.
The financial struggle of being responsible for six fresh mouths to feed is skimmed over. And the third act is a litany...
