A Masterpiece!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This outstanding series gives PBS's "American Family" a run for its money as the finest series about a typical, all-American family. Superbly acted across the board, from proud, tough-love Patriarch Roberto (the excellent Tony Plana), struggling sister-in-law Bibi (Elizabeth Pena - why isn't this woman a star?) and her loving son Tommy (the underrated Douglas Spain) to always-reliable veterans Rita Moreno and Glynn Turman... this series strikes gold on all counts, from the fine acting and directing to the smart scripts and warm designs. Let's hope Paramount resurrects seasons two and three on DVD in the not-too-distant-future. It's impossible not to fall in love with these characters. Bravo!

This is one of the best TV dramas I enjoy watching. Especially seeing people from a different culture experience the same tragedies and family traditions that us Americans have. Like infidelity in the family,trust,and losing a loved one. This shows a great significance of family values and support,that everyone can relate to. There's some stubbornness among the siblings but overall in the end,the family (Santiagos) will always stick together. Just alone the show has a type of reality check of how important a family can be. Excellent show!!

This is a very well intentioned series, so it's hard to get down on it for it's faults, but it does have a few. The stories are basically soap opera rehash, so there's never anything surprising. The actors are all very good, sometimes a little hammy though. It's the direction that seems to be lacking, there is nothing interesting done with the camera at all, it's very bland stylistically. The music can get a little maudlin too, but I do appreciate what they're trying to do, I just wish they'd do it a little better.

I am glad that Michael DeLorenzo has a lasting role in something he seems to love. The show is refreshing, unique and keeps you wondering 'what next'? What also makes it great to watch is each character has their own ups and downs, they are humans, not just acting parts, in a fun but real way. It started a little sketchy but it is working the kinks out now into the 4th episode. I wish it could last longer then 22 shows because it has promise and it is building it's characters. I hope this does a lot for Michael's ego after leaving NYU, he should be one happy Latino now!! Now if they'll only let him direct some episodes.......
