Movie Reviews of Born in East L.A.
Movie Review: Granny Zone
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is pure fun. It's not to be taken so seriously. This is a great movie to watch alone when you really need a laugh. This movie is great to watch with my grown children because we laugh together just like we did when we watched it years ago, in our happy home when they were carefree children, before all the world crap, job closings and war hungry people trying to blow us off this earth, Aids, etc.. Maybe if I were an angry, put - up - on Latino - Black - etc., I would find some parts "not so funny"? It's refreshing to watch a movie that doesn't depend on 4 letter words, sex or racial insults to be funny. Certain movies are made to make us laugh and sometimes when we let down our guards ( racism-lonliness-fear ) and open our tight lips to laugh we "breathe." The next time you are down watch this movie or "Soapdish" or "Half-baked" - "CaveMan", "My Blue Heaven", etcc.. I am a wife, proud granny, positive Black American. Find peace and Joy - share a smile. Thanks.Movie Review: East L.A., Homay!

I am a fan of both Cheech Marin & Thamas Chong, Cheech is good at playing both Cheech or Red, but this aint no Cheech & Chong flick! Born In East L.A., is a movie about an Los Angeles Native Ruby, who is a Chicano, One day a Border Patroller asked Ruby for his Green Card, but Ruby didn't own no Green Card, because he was born & raised in East Los Angeles, CA. Ruby is taken on a truck with a dozen other illegal immigrants, and is taken to Tijuana, Mexico in which Ruby has to learn to survive and know how to speak spanish, if he's left out on the streets of Tijuana. I don't wanna spoil the movie for anyone so just go out and watch the damn film if you are a fan of Cheech Marin and his acting, this movie is 1 Loco Thrill ride aswell!Movie Review: Interesting Movie.

I picked "Born in East L. A." off the bargain DVD racks at a discount store. I thought it was a Cheech and Chong movie, but it was a Cheech Marin movie only. That's OK, it was a good movie and we enjoyed it. The story involves an American of latino descent getting picked up as an illegal alien and deported to Mexico and his troubles in getting back into the country. It's funny, as you might expect, but it's also a somewhat touching drama and makes for engaging viewing. The movie is about 30 years old, but seems fresh and new and in tune with all the modern headlines. It's an interesting movie. Well done.

Movie Review: Good DVD, yet not a good cut
Summary: 4 Stars
This version of the film on DVD is better than the one from goodtimes productions. Yet both versions on DVDs are very edited from the original version. The film is a little longer, on scene in particular is the marriage scene at the end, how else did Rudy end up in a float at the parade, and that is just one major one. This DVD is good, but the old VHS version seems more "complete." I only wish Cheech had the support to create other such films!Movie Review: Great Movie

I personally love this movie, first time i saw it, a long time ago, i didnt like it because I was a Kid,,, then i saw it a few years later and love it,,, now i went to amazon and looked for it,,, its now on my collections... Its not a huge Classic movie, but it makes you have a good tome.
