      Born In East L.A. Movie, Great Comedy
    Review created: 08/01/08

    this movie is a sattire comedy about the inmigration, even that this movie was made more than 15 yrs old, has a very actual subject about the same old problem that provides inmigration and the treatment that US border gives to illegals, has great comedy about LA. hommies, and how even US citizens looking as mexicans could be victims of racism, either way its a nice comedy movie to enjoy,this is my first review, i would say a a Must-have classic on Latin Comedy.

      A Hilarous Insightful Comedy

    A coworker lent me this movie to watch it and I loved it. So did my family. It's funny but it also depicted the reality picture of what life is like in Southern California where we live. We loved this movie so much and we decided to own one.

    Who would have thought that Cheech Marin could do comedy without Tommy Chong? I love this movie from start to finish. The terrible time that he has in trying to get back across the border is great. Daniel Stern is great as the man who is trying to get Cheech to earn enough to get back across the border. Full of comedy and some funny misunderstandings, this will delight you for yearsd to come.
