It was a bachelor's life for hard-working and fun-loving Ray Ray Domingguez who dreams of leaving the barrio for a more carefree existence in Miami. That's until one day when everything changed - and he became a reluctant "Tio Papi" to his sister's six children ages 6 to 16. Now in charge of raising this energetic (and expensive)clan, Ray Ray must make important decisions on what life is really all about. Combining heart-warming drama with light hearted comedy, "Tio Papi", directed by Fro Rojas from the original screenplay by Joey Dedio and Brian Herskowitz, is an upbeat story of life's unexpected surprises and ultimately what matters the most -- the love of family.
Leave your thoughts about Tio Papi.
| The New York TimesDavid DeWittWhat lingers is the affectionate sense of family and place. Modest goals accomplished. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMary HoulihanThere’s nothing offensive in the relentlessly upbeat Tio Papi. It’s just all so polite and saccharine. Life lessons are learned every few minutes, and the ending is telegraphed from the beginning. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAlthough its formulaic storyline...holds no surprises, the film nonetheless exerts a certain charm. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenBittersweet family comedy involves parental loss. |
| Los Angeles TimesInkoo KangRay Ray's belated journey into manhood never feels sentimental or precious. But it also never strikes an emotional tone that's more than blandly agreeable. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreIf it weren’t for the well-intentioned moments of pathos — a tear or two, hear and there — Tio Papi would be a complete waste of time. |
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterToo predictable for adults and too saccharine for even very young kids, this family-oriented comedy is strictly dullsville. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisDoesn't try to be anything more than a soft-serve pull of treacly pandering. |
