| | A bit like Cocoon - Seniors Have Fun | Cristal 02/09/2007 | | If your mom and dad are of a certain age and are Hispanic, love romantic boleros (are there any other kind), they will love this. Youth appeal is there also, especially with the exotic Mexican dancers. They have the best bottoms! The music is wonderful, classic boleros - even some that Americans will recognize and (erroniously) claim as their own. A romp but a beautiful love story, not only what was between men and women, but macho a macho, old loves and new loves - really for the romantic and for music lovers. |
