Raising Victor Vargas

[Lord of The Curry]

Just watched it today, and I both liked and hated it.

 

The Good

 

- Judy Marte, the actress who plays "Juicy" Judy Gonzales gives one hell of a performance for a first timer. Oh, and she's smoking hot.

- The chemistry between Victor and Judy while they're together is very cool, bordering from serious passion to extreme loathing.

- The fact that (aside from Judy), there is very little eye candy in this movie. None of the actors have a "Hollywood" look to them, which I found refreshing.

 

The Bad

 

- Constant constant CONSTANT bombardment of retarded pickup lines and stereotypical accents and portrayls of inner city kids. I know that Victor is supposed to be a playa, but his lines were God-awful and almost made me stop the movie a few times.

- The story was a little weak, as they started off strong but dropped the plot very quickly in favour of a more predictable one.

 

Anybody else see this one?
