| | Would make a great parody | El Groggo 02/17/2007 | | This movie is so dreadful that it's hypnotic. I kept watching it because I really thought it HAD to be a parody of sexual mores in the '90s. But apparently this guy (Schaeffer) is serious. If this movie was even sexy, I could forgive it. Nah. The 'writing' (you should excuse the expression) is so embarrassing that I began to appreciate my 10-year-old daughter's attempts at idyllic poetry. I kept wondering: how this guy even got this film made, who financed it, and why NO ONE, apparently, told him how awful and ridiculously unbelievable it was. There are tremendous talents out there who just can't get a break, and this DRECK (probably too good a word for it) passes the test. Don't get it. |

I Like It Like That 1994  R, 104 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Darnell Martin
Cast: Lauren Velez, Jon Seda, Rita Moreno, Griffin Dunne, Thomas Melly, Desiree Casado, Isaiah Garcia, Jesse Borrego, Lisa Vidal, Vincent Laresca
An inside look at life in a poor, NYC Latino neighborhood is the gift of writer/director Darnell Martin. This story revolves around one young married couple, Lisette and Chino Linares (Lauren Velez and Jon Seda) and how they AND their neighbors handle adversities when Chino goes to prison for looting during a blackout. Although poor and out of luck, the Linares are involved with their neighbors, a benefit not so common in today's white suburbs.
