I have never been so bored by a movie in my life. I felt like I was watching everyday life on a big screen with very little plot. UGH!! It was painful to sit through, seriously BORING!!

This movie was done so well in that it was down to earth, the people and the scenes were totally authentic, and I enjoyed the conflicts, the comedy, the meaningful scenes, and was disappointed when I knew it was coming to a close. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD, to share with my family when we all get together for dinner and a movie. I went 5 days later, after seeing it with my daughter, to see it with my sister. I was so diappointed to find out it had moved to another theater far away. This is one of those "sleepers"-a low-key movie that ends up being a total joy, all the way around.

For those who thought the movie was boring, these are the same people who can't/won't relate to this film. This film was great it had a little of everything. It had caucasian actors it had hispanic actors and now a days with interratial and people so focus on there career it shows that people can sit aside there own needs and compromise. Every relationship has it's ups and downs and thru it all love, respect will help you get thru it now matter bad it may look. I totally give this movie 4 stars and I would give it 5 stars if i can find the house they filmed it in. thanks!
