Movie Reviews of A Million to Juan
Movie Review: a very sweet movie with a lot of heart
Summary: 5 Stars
I was searching for a good film to show my Spanish 1 class as a reward for their hard work throughout the year. I didn't want to show "Selena" or "Stand and Deliver" because a lot of the students had already seen them. Fortunately, I stumbled across "A Million to Juan" and tried it. After watching it to make sure it was school-appropriate, I knew I had picked a winner. The plot was interesting, the characters engaging, and the message hopeful. I highly recommend the film for anybody. There are a couple of racy comments at the beginning, but, overall, "A Million to Juan" is a good family film.Movie Review: A Million to Juan
Summary: 5 Stars
A great comedy-rags to riches-romantic movie for the whole family to see. It's about Juan (played by Paul Rodriguez) who is given a million dollars by a mysterious stranger (Edward James Olmos) to use for 30 days. Meanwhile, Olivia (played by Polly Draper)is trying to obtain a green card for him, and his landlord (Paul Williams) is making life miserable for him, his family, and his friends. What takes place in between all that is what makes it worth watching.Movie Review: Good movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Good movie, good moral, funny, enjoy this every time I see it!
A Million to Juan
Movie Review: Funny, but may appear stereotypical to non-latinos
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the story of a mexican american that can't prove his birth in the US, therefore, is treated like an illegal alien (that would never happen, would it?) Some non-latinos may say that the white people in the movie may be unfairly stereotyped as racist or that the hispanics may be unfairly stereotyped, unless you have a million dollars! But is it stereotying, or is it a reflection of reality? Watch the movie and you decide!
There are cameo appearances by Cheech Marin and a small, but important part played by Edward James Olmos. The leading lady is a babe, but I have never seen her in any other movies.
