Complex and entertaining film, 9 November 2005
10/10
Author: Sheila Beers from Indiana

I found "Casa De Los Babys" complex and entertaining, and I believe the "loose ends" serve a purpose as the viewer is to form his own conclusion about the characters, their motives and conflicts, and the possible outcomes. The six women who want to adopt are so wrapped up in their own frustrations and needs that they are blind to the destitute and desperate lives of the hotel workers and the Latin American community around them. The hotel manager and her con artist lawyer-brother, who run the adoption agency, play heartless "bait and switch" games with the childless women, and the women fail to see the operators are taking advantage of them. As a result, the women hand exorbitant amounts of money over to the operators when they more wisely could use the money to help the native people around them.

There is opportunity for a relationship between the single woman of the group, who has given up hope for a husband and family, and the handsome, young, and educated Latin man who dreams of going to the U.S. The possibilities never enter their minds, with the woman focusing on single-parent adoption and the young man pinning false hopes on a lottery ticket.

"Casa De Los Babys" is a film I would recommend to socially conscious people and prospective parents alike.
