Storyline
Welcome to Luminarias-where hot spicy dish gets served up with a Latin twist by four successful friends from East LA...with very discriminating taste in men! When separated divorce attorney Andrea finds herself guilty of falling for her white and Jewish opposing council, her three single friends choose sides in the ongoing and often hilarious debate over race and sex. As they discover just how much negative stereotypes color their relationships with men-and even with each other-it becomes clear that the search for Mr. Right is not exactly black and white!

I had a great time watching this movie. I don't know what critics want, but I think they miss subtle nuances that are culturally relevant.
On that note, I also think they are taking meanings within the film too deeply. Sometimes shallow is good.
I really enjoyed some of the hidden jokes which you can only understand, if you grew up in a Hispanic household, or have lived in that environment.
If you did, then you'll really enjoy this film.
I had a good time.
My wife enjoyed it so much, she went and bought a copy, and thats saying a lot. hehe
anyway, thats my 2 cents.
