 Warm family movie. December 20, 2008

This is a great movie! The colors are cool, a little dreamy, and the plot is pretty funny so kids will enjoy it, but there is also subtext which Adults will appreciate. Though it says it stars George Lopez, his part is more of a supporting character, but he's his usual self. The soundtrack was really good. Waiting to see if they'll release the soundtrack. What I like best is that it's a film you can watch with your whole family.
Tortilla Heaven is a great date film with a Mexican-American twist. December 13, 2008

When I first saw Tortilla Heaven in a theater in East LA, it was clear that it was a family favorite. The Latinos in the audience, seemed to enjoy the villagers in this fable set in the imaginary town of Falfurrias, New Mexico. There is a timelessness of the story that should make it have a long shelf life at your local video stores. The cast is chock full of Latino, mainly Chicano cast. Most notably, George Lopez (George Lopez Show) as a goof ball sheriff, Miguel Sandoval (Medium) as the devil incarnate, Ana Ortiz (Ugly Betty) as his co-hort, Irene Bedard (Smoke Signals) as a hapless civil service worker, Elaine Miles (Northern Exposure) as a farmer's defiant wife, Lupe Ontiveros (Desperate Housewives) as a henpecking mother-in law, Elpidia Carrillo (Predator) as a strong wife, Alexis Cruz (Shark) as an idealistic young man, Del Zamora (Repo Man) as a henpecked son, Jose Zuniga (Crooklyn) is the maker of the tortilla that is the centerpiece of this comedy. For you see, the tortilla has the burned image of Jesus on it. There is even the legendary Olivia Hussey (Zefferelli's Romeo & Juliet) in a supporting role as a free thinking nudist. The cinematography is outstanding. Music is fine in a funny sort of way. This is funny little sweet movie with heart. I took my nieces and my mother and we all laughed and enjoyed ourselves. My father even chuckled several times and liked the ending very much. I am happy to see this family film, finally come out on DVD. I am on the fan website for Tortilla Heaven, so they have alerted me, that it comes out on DVD soon. We have been waiting to buy this movie and show it to our friends. For a family film, it can't be beat!

 Wonderful Idea - End Result Less Than Hoped For November 1, 2008

The basic premise of this movie is good, the cast is GREAT, the scenery is wonderful but the writing is awful. Too much was going on, there were so many sub-plots that it became tiresome. I wanted to love this movie because I love northern New Mexico and I tried, I really tried, but this movie is a waste of time. I only gave it two stars because the scenery was good.
