Underdog Movie

This was a really sad movie that didn't seem to get too much attention from anyone. Rush Hour 2's Roselyn Sanchez plays "Yellow" a Puerto Rican woman who grew up being a dancer. When her father dies she leaves her mother and boyfriend whom she hates to find a career in dancing.

Yellow moves to New York where her life becomes even worse as she searches for a job. A stripper becomes her only means of money so she takes the job :D ;P.

It is the sort of movie that you are thankful you have family to care for you and that you're not alone. I can understand why a lot of people didn't like it though, unless you can relate to the Puerto Rican culture you probably don't care to much about Yellow. Maybe you'd be like "Oh that happens a lot of there probably" but no it happens every where and all the time.

A movie about people who are alone but find happiness again through loved one's. A very sad movie with only a few main characters that all seem to be alone and can't find anyone to save them.

8/10
