      Carlos: [Carlos teaches Gary "Echo Parque" sign] Be careful you don't flash that around Temple Street, though.

      Gary: They're the rival gang, right?

      Carlos: They'd kill you.

      Gary: Wow. You really live in a whole other world, don't you?

      Carlos: Nah... you do.

    A great film with no sex and no violence - so why the R rating?
    When I went to see this film, I had no idea what it was about, other than that it had something to do with the 15th birthday of a latino girl. It was a preview and the ticket was free. I was very pleasantly surprised. This is a either a little gem of a movie or a gem of a little movie. It shows a little slice of life - centering around the (major) problems of members of a latino extended family in Los Angeles (mostly the younger members). I'm not latino, and I live in northern California - so I have no idea how accurate a picture it is, but the picture is nevertheless true to life. All the characters are very believable - a rather rare description of an American film these days. I have never heard of any of the actors, yet without exception the acting was superb. Every character seemed very real, like people I have known. Halfway through the film, I did not know where it would end - the story could still have turned in several different directions. With the exception of an anglo gay couple, all the characters spoke in both English and Spanish, as many Mexican-Americans do in California.

    For some bizarre reason, one of the major characters - Herman (played by an actor named J.R. Cruz, is not listed in the credits in IMDb.

    FAQ1

    • I enjoyed the movie but...... since when can a women get pregnant when the sperm is emited on her leg? I am a nurse and this is not possible. Sperm do not climb into the vagina. And why would a conservative minister father suddenly be so forgiving and feel guilty when he discovers that the 14 year old daughters sexual activity involved nudity and intimacy but just not full penetration. True to character he would still be very upset with her.
