I bought this movie because it featured George Lopez. George Lopez only came out a few times almost didn't speak. This movie was not funny at all. I bought it for about two dollars and I would have been upset if I had paid more than that.

What a fabulous movie! I am so glad a bought this DVD. We enjoyed a cozy night in with a bottle of wine as we watched. Very entertaining. Wonderful locations and scenery, great actors, whimsical, colorful - I wish I could have walked right into the movie and sat down at the table! We just LOVED this movie - top notch directing, story line, great themes and messages. EXCELLENT - I highly recommend this DVD.
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!
