While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
I love watching this movie! It portrays Latino life & culture to the tee, also showing relationships regardless of race, everyone can relate ( if you've been in a bad one), just saw it on cine max last night, 1st time in 10 years & it hasn't lost it's spunk. Chino & Lissette play extraordinary parts & not too mention Jesse Borrega's performance as a transvestite ! WHOA!!!!!! Also liked the fact that it portrays Latino's as everyday people, although they're are the typical stereotypes associated with it like, drug dealing,stealing,gambling,& having extramarital affairs,aside from that ,good portrayal. I definitely recommend this film for any body that has been in love or just wanna laugh your butt off
Lauren Velez makes a strong screen debut in this little flick about a "dis"-functional Hispanic couple married with kids in the Bronx. "I Like It Like That" is a not too serious charcter-driven, dialogue-intensive film which floats somewhere between sardonic comedy and visceral drama as it looks at the life of the Velez and Seda characters who spend most of their time sorting through a variety of woes with a yell first and think later strategy. An okay flick on most levels, this film tends to wear itself out after a while becoming a sort of monotonic drone of screaming, swearing, and throwing things.
Lauren Velez is great in a well-rounded role. Fresh and funny story of latino Bronx. Basic story of woman taking charge and getting ahead, but truly enjoyable and different from most of the "Lifetime stories for women" genre. Check out Rita Moreno as the mother-in-law!
I'm frankly surprised at the generally low opinion of this film. I saw it and liked it a lot. I thought it did an excellent job of hitting a very realistic tone--no Hollywood glitz or schmaltz here. Instead, we have well-scripted characters with real-life problems, and all of the pathos and humour that comes with them. This movie is alternately touching and hilarious in very effective and "true" ways, and I admire the guts it took to not give this movie a fairy-tale ending. We have no miraculous resolution, but instead a hard-fought and bittersweet partial reconciliation. The acting and writing here carry a good film to a satisfying conclusion. I'm tempted to vote higher than I really feel to boost this movie's overall rating, which I feel is undeserved.
