This Mexican award-winning film is a fun blend of humor and sentimental drama. A group of elderly musicians escape from a nursing home and hit the road to Tijuana, playing at clubs along the way. Bruno (Jorge Galvan), the leader, has a promise to keep: deliver his lover's ashes to her hometown, Tijuana. After arriving, he must deal with his lover's niece–who is love-starved. And then there's the club owner who hides illegal drugs in the group's instrument cases. 1 User Review

| | 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. |
