| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzCharming tearjerker sitcom comedy on the Puerto Rican experience in Spanish Harlem. |
| User ReviewBentley LPopi is a beautiful, Hispanic film about love shared between cultures. Whatever you do, it's worth watching. |
| User ReviewTio BFunny and vibrant. Alan Arkin is a force of nature here. |
| User ReviewHARLEM EYet again I say, Alan Arkin deserved his Oscar this year. This is a powerfully quiet film about love and the lengths to which a parent might go in order to express that love. Arkin's misguided plan to find a better life for his sons only goes to prove that the bounds of familial love are often too strong to break, no matter how altruistic the intentions may be. |
| User ReviewLisa WHeartbreaking. Loved Alan Arkin in this role. |
| User ReviewJenny MThis movie made me cry and cry as a youth |
| User ReviewLee MThe promising premise, well cast children, and well acted Arkin character makes the film engaging despite its bogging down with a script that's overly fantastical and full of illogical loopholes. |
| User ReviewJason OThis is supposed to be one of the best and most popular movies of all time in its native country, but it didn't really do it for me. |
