Movie Reviews of Born In East L.A.
Movie Review: The What's Happening Boys have proved to be the long term hit of this movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
The What's Happening Boys or Waas Happening Boys are portrayed by Del Zamora, Sal Lopez, Jason Scott Lee, Jee Teo and Ted Lin. Jason Scott Lee later portrayed the legendary Bruce Lee in the biopic on Bruce Lee. Del Zamora is a fantastic actor who has appeared in Repo Man, Robocop, The Outfitters, Tortilla Heaven, Searchers 2.0, Repo Chick, to name a few. His cultural adlibs that were not in the script, ie: "headband, wappanna, panocha, pela mela, Fernando Valenzuela, ay tu"; are the most hilarious inside jokes for the Latino cultures in the history of American movies. To confirm, look up scenes on Born in East LA on youtube. The "Waas Happening Boys" get 4-5 more hits than anyone else in the movie, including Cheech Marin. Read the viewer comments and you'll see that these scenes have provided more joy than one can imagine. We always laugh our heads off when we see those scenes. Truly classic comedy for the ages.
Summary of Born In East L.A.
Give us your tired and poor but keep Cheech Marin. Cheech Marin writes, directs and stars in Born in East L.A., a hip, outrageous comedy that's based on his best-selling record parody. The story follows Rudy (Marin), an American of Hispanic descent, whose south-of-the-border looks show him no mercy during an immigration raid in a migrant worker factory. As his luck goes, he is caught with neither money nor his ID and is deported to Mexico - without speaking a word of Spanish! Unable to contact his vacationing family or his newly immigrated cousin (played by comedian Paul Rodriguez), Rudy is in for a crazy ride as he tries every legal - and illegal - scheme he can think of to get back home to the States. He finds himself in jail, in love, and practically in-sane! Trouble follows him everywhere as he runs from la migra in this case of mistaken - or rather misplaced - identity.Comedy DVD Video
