    Romantic and Comedic

    "Negocios son Negocios" is an urban contemporary movie. It pictures how everyday people are in a typical Dominican Republic family, their troubles to get a job, their hope for a better life and in despite of everything their constant happiness. It's a romantic comedy with class and good sense of humor. The cast is one of its most valuable asset, Irving Alberti, Cuquin Victoria, Nuryn Sanlley, Luis Jose German and Franklin Dominguez have the career and the wide experience needed to play the roles they've got. The photography is great, simple and warming, inviting the audience to be part of the story, and to see a beautiful country too. "Negocios son Negocios" is a simple and funny movie, and it gives the audience what they expect: laughs.

    Well executed and very entertaining comedy, but poor video quality and poor acting.

    This movie is very entertaining even though the jokes were kinda cliché and repetitive. The movie is not boring at all. However, I think it had some editing errors and scenes with rough endings, in other words, non-finished scenes that left the expectator asking what happened, but there were not many scenes like that. The same thing happened with the movie ending, there were plenty of unanswered questions. Despite this, the flow of the movie was very well coordinated, the audio was very good but it came short on the video quality. On the DVD edition I saw, it looked like an old 70's movie with some color problems, static and other film artifacts (no, it was not bootlegged!). The acting was the weakest point of this movie. Luis Jose German and Irvin Alberti looked very amateur in their acting. However, Nurin Sanlley and Cuquin Victoria were very good. I liked the plot of this movie. It seemed very original. As I state earlier, it was very entertaining.
