hyped garbage

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I almost turned this movie off. It looked as if it were going to be a lame comedy about fat gay men trying to look after a little boy. But the movies shifts, getting more and more complex, more and more heart rendering, more and more nuanced. The lead character is a proper adult, thinking of others, avoiding villainising, careful to always behave ethically. He is not heroic in the usual Hollywood sense. You don't really notice it until the movie is over and you look back on how well he treated everyone else, even his enemies. Mom spends most of the movie supposedly in an Indian jail. The main jarring thing however, is the jail looks like some model correctional facility in middle America used for journalism visits, all freshly painted. In is also an adult movie in the sense that things dreaded turn out to be not quite so awful after all.

Probably the sweetest gay film I've seen. This fish out of water story would have been turned into glossy, sappy glop by Hollywood, but the subtlety of writing and directing, the explicitness and acceptance of promiscuous, unglamorous gay men, and its general humor and humanity raise it well above it's slightly formulaic story. An aging hippie mom brings her son to stay with her gay brother while she goes off to India with her new lover. While there she's thrown in prison on drug charges, and the man and boy slowly form a tender father/son like bond. Meanwhile the boy's estranged grandmother schemes to use this as a chance to force her way into the boy's life. While that might sound slight or familiar, the details transcend to make something richer, funnier and deeper.

I loved this movie!Finally, gay life from a different perspective. And unlike other gay movies... this one wasn't a total cliché!This movie revolves around an a-lot-more-realistic life of a gay-bearish man by the name of Pedro(aside from all the drug use). Until he agrees on taking in his nephew, Bernardo, for a couple of weeks while his sister vacations in India. Only to find out that his "temporary installment" becomes a little permanent. His sister is detained in India after being caught drug trafficking, leaving nine-year-old Bernardo in the hands of Pedro for a lot longer than expected. The conflict takes place when Pedro tries to adjust to the his new life with his nephew, and he soon builds a loving bond with him. And it doesn't help that Bernardo's grandmother is doing everything she can to gain custody of him. YEAH! My review sucks... But this movie is great, but try to get the unrated version. If not, make sure to check out the deleted scenes. Great, and HILARIOUS sex scene. Oh, and don't watch if you don't like reading, no English dubbed version...SORRY!It's a fun and loving movie that made me jerk a tear... PLUS, big, hot, and hairy men... What's not to love?!

Having just finished "Cachorro", I'm left with goosebumps. There is no way a movie of this depth could have been made in America. The reason being that homosexuality isn't vilified or degraded, and actually shows gay men caring about each other.***Spoilers ahead*** The plot centers around a gay man, Pedro, and HIV positive dentist, who is left in charge with his 9 year old nephew, Bernardo, while his widowed sister heads of to India for a 'vacation'. Instead, she is jailed for drug trafficking and Pedro is put into a precarious situation. He's grown close to his nephew, and has to deal with an estranged grandmother who it seems will stop at nothing to gain custody of the grandchild she never knew.I can't comment on the edited theatrical release, but the DVD release treats gay sexuality in a pretty straightforward manner, no pun intended. There are sex scenes, but they're not out of line with what I'd expect from progressive European cinema. We are instead treated to a closely knit social group who rally behind Pedro and Bernardo. The movie ends neatly with a few surprises that I will not reveal here.There is a strong message of family throughout the movie. We see it in the relationship between Pedro and Bernardo, as well as with the other outstanding cast members. I must say that I was a bit taken aback by the casual drug use in the movie. It's just not my scene, but we do see Pedro move away from them throughout the film.All in all, a wonderful effort by writer/director Miguel Albaladejo. The principal cast is terrific here, led by Jose Luis Garcia Perez as Pedro and David Castillo as Bernardo. What a treat! Recommended!
