A Million to JuanA great comedy-rags to riches-romantic movie for the whole family to see. It's about Juan (played by Paul Rodriguez) who is given a million dollars by a mysterious stranger (Edward James Olmos) to use for 30 days. Meanwhile, Olivia (played by Polly Draper)is trying to obtain a green card for him, and his landlord (Paul Williams) is making life miserable for him, his family, and his friends. What takes place in between all that is what makes it worth watching. July 16, 2007
Funny, but may appear stereotypical to non-latinos
This is the story of a mexican american that can't prove his birth in the US, therefore, is treated like an illegal alien (that would never happen, would it?) Some non-latinos may say that the white people in the movie may be unfairly stereotyped as racist or that the hispanics may be unfairly stereotyped, unless you have a million dollars! But is it stereotying, or is it a reflection of reality? Watch the movie and you decide!
There are cameo appearances by Cheech Marin and a small, but important part played by Edward James Olmos. The leading lady is a babe, but I have never seen her in any other movies. July 5, 2007
a very sweet movie with a lot of heart
I was searching for a good film to show my Spanish 1 class as a reward for their hard work throughout the year. I didn't want to show "Selena" or "Stand and Deliver" because a lot of the students had already seen them. Fortunately, I stumbled across "A Million to Juan" and tried it. After watching it to make sure it was school-appropriate, I knew I had picked a winner. The plot was interesting, the characters engaging, and the message hopeful. I highly recommend the film for anybody. There are a couple of racy comments at the beginning, but, overall, "A Million to Juan" is a good family film. June 8, 2007
This is a great album
This is going to be a short review because I'm tired.
The music on this album is incredible. It is really a shame that so many bands on this CD didn't make it big because the talent is really there. March 2, 2003
One of the most favorite love story I ever saw
Personally, I enjoy this film whenever I see it that I bought a copy for myself. It has an unlikely twist. You have this Hispanic widower(Rodriguez) raising his son with his brothers,battling dirty landlords,immigration issues,stereotypes,and the whole nine yards. He runs into a guy who hands him a check and the story runs from there. why I consider it a beautiful love story is due to the underplot with Juan and the Immigration lady(Polly Draper). Why I love it so much is because despite the stuff that Juan went through, he always had a dream, and he kept his head up no matter what. And he was a good father for his son. I just happened to catch this movie on cable some years back, and I became hooked. Hope you will too. September 11, 2002
