Storyline

Ernesto Palacio, the foremost Latino writer, decides after 2 recent flops to open his latest play in a small theater in Hollywood rather than Broadway or the West End. With a desire to cross language and cultural boundaries with his Spanish language play, and in an attempt to reach the masses, he pushes the envelope even further by casting two non-actors in lead roles...one, a hugely popular, female pop singer and the other a world renowned, Colombian, bullfighter. Fireworks and jealousy amongst the cast lead to mayhem during the opening night performance and despite believing that everything happens for a reason, Ernesto's faith is pushed to the absolute limit by this latest disaster.

Wow!

This is the funniest film I've seen in ages! I heard it was shot for less than $100. I cannot believe that such an entertaining film could even be made for so little $$$. The actors are amazing! I thought originally that the visuals would put me off because you can tell that it was shot on a low budget visually, but the story and the acting was so entertaining that I quickly forgot about it. It's all in Spanish with subtitles and you get so drawn in that you even forget that you're reading. I thoroughly recommend this film to anyone who wants to have a good laugh. It pokes a lot of fun at "back stage" happenings in a theater, so if you're an actor, you'll find it even funnier.
