Leave your thoughts about The Mambo Kings.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris Hicks"The Mambo Kings" is fairly conventional in story and structure - but oh, that music. The audience will be ready to dance in the aisles. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatArmand Assante gives the most robust and impressive performance of his career as Cesar, a musician whose lust for life affects all those around him. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenGlimcher's movie knows how to let down its hair and live for the night. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsA spirited evocation of the mambo craze which swept post-war America, adapted from Oscar Hijuelos' Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. |
| The SpectatorVanessa LettsIt is always maddening watching musical 'geniuses' in the cinema when their visibly incompetent efforts bear no relation to what you hear. |
| Washington PostDesson Thomson"The Mambo Kings" is so pumped up with life it threatens to burst. It's beautifully filmed and flashily edited. It pulsates with rhythmic ecstasy. It throbs, it sweats, it pounds, it undulates. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithAnother award worthy performance by Armand Assante that wasn't recognized. And a great song. |
| User ReviewCarmen DThis is one of my favorite movies! I love everything about it, the brotherly love , the music and of course Antonio! He's so sexy especially with that accent of his! I wonder if he's really playing the trumpet in this movie. |
| User ReviewJ Ktrue love...said with a song that will never die. |
| User Reviewtiffany wMy other favorite latin movie about the original mambo kings once they moved from Havana Cuba to New York and brought with them the afro cuban sounds of salsa. Staring the late great Celia Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Armand Asante |
