The premise of this film sounded as though it could have possibilities. The arrival of an aging Fidel Castro to Florida is something unimaginable! The Cuban dictator and the exiles have been at odds ever since he came into power almost a half a century ago. Unfortunately, the team responsible for this comedy had no clue about what they were getting into.
The creators of "I Love Miami", Alejandro Gonzalez Padilla and Monica Abin, don't bring anything new to a story that doesn't make any sense at all. Then, there is the central casting of Juan Luis Galiardo in the main role. The Spanish actor can't hide his accent at all, thus making the Fidel he is trying to portray, a caricature of the worst possible kind.
The different accents used by the cast are distracting, adding to the overall effect of confusion. This is a film to be seen at the viewer's own risk.
