Movie Story
Daddy Yankee, stars as Edgar Dinero, a misunderstood product of the slums of Puerto Rico who becomes torn between the street life of his childhood neighborhood and his ambition to become something more. Entangled within the strong ties of a violent barrio underworld, "Dinero" falls for a girl who brings positivity to his life. He then decides to conceal his connection to the hood from her. Soon, Edgar has the opportunity to make a run for it, but he fears he will never be able to hide from the scores of corrupt cops or shake the full-blown turf war that consumes his crew. "Dinero" is asked the ultimate question: Will he succumb to the violence of the barrio, or will he listen to the beat of his heart and fulfill his goal of becoming a star in his own right?

if you're a cracker from Ohio, don't even bother....you have to be from Puerto Rico (or somewhere similar) to understand this film. Well done.

Funny how it was impresive to my most ignorant friends. I agree that it's a story "del barrio" but barrio life is much more deep and poetic than that. Puerto Ricans can do better, Ive seen them write and produce better. I like this movie because it gave me memories of my upbringing however it's those "crackers" that pay the big bucks that would give talented Boricuas a chance. If you think this was fantastic, than you will be the same ones watching other Latinos pass you over (pasandote por ensima).
posted by Cario on Feb 25, 2009Es interesante que esta pelicula fue impresionante para mis amistades mas ignorantes. Estoy de acuedo que es una historia "del barrio" pero la vida de barrio es mucho mas complejo e poetico de que la pelicula deja entender. Los Puertorriqueños pueden hacer mejor, you lo e visto escribir y produsir mejor. Me gusta esta pelicula solo por que me acuerda mi vida en P.R. Pero, entendiendo que esos "crackers" (grigos - vulgarmente hablando) son los que pagan los billetes grandes el cual dara la opportunidad de superarse aquel Boricua talentoso. Si eres aquel que penso que esta pelicula fue fantastica, es usted que con sus propios ojos veras como otros Latinoamericanos nos pasa por ensima.

Cario, you are so very right on that. It couldn't been said better! Boricuas like DaBoss make Ricans seem culturaless and ignorant. He even wrote "cracker from Ohio". Does any one know why they where killing eachother in the movie? This was a rediculous film. I grew up in a Caserio in PR and this is a bunch of crap. This film made us look bad and I don't appreciate when Boricuas validate anti-Puerto Rican sentiment. Cario you seem to be a very educated person, but you where generous in your rating.
