Movie Reviews of El Cantante
Movie Review: The Jennifer Lopez Show
Summary: 1 Stars
Yeah, no kidding this was produced by Lopez herself. The whole thing is like one extended Jennifer Lopez video.
"Look at me, I'm shaking my booty. Look at my hair, look at me smiling, look at me with my period makeup. Look how sexy I am even snorting coke in my wig! I'm even hot in the '70's"
Every scene seemed like an opportunity for Lopez to showcase how gorgous and hot she is...oh, and the director encourages it! In every scene he makes sure to capture Lopez makeup and hair and clothes even if it has no impact whatsoever on the story line. Even if showing her makes no sense. There she is.
This movie was irritating on so many levels. You know that music they play in Mexican Restaurants? Well this whole movie features that kind of white noise. At first it made me hungry for con queso and chips. After that, it just kept reminding me that salsa is really not so great of a musical genre. It all sounds the same and it's hopelessly trite.
And lastly, Marc Anthony. This man is so bad. Such an ugly little rat faced monkey that it was impossible for me to believe he was any sort of 'ladies man' let alone a Latino Rock Star. Are you kidding me? He'd be great as a creepy character actor playing a small role as a janitor or maybe even a pervert of some sort. But to give him 2nd billing in a Jennifer Lopez movie and show him almost as much as Lopez...it made me completely disgusted by this skinny and hideous little man. He's like Gollum sans the cute.
Just skip this J.Lo show and check out a real 'poor me, I'm famous' movie like 'Walk Hard- The Dewey Cox Story'.
Movie Review: What a poorly made movie...
Summary: 1 Stars
Although Mark Anthony's singing was superb, his acting was horrible. I found the dialogue, directing, and cinematography almost amateur. Like many entertainers Hector Lavoe was self-destructive and the movie conveyed that. Unfortunately, that's all you walked away with. Instead of endearing you to the man, his talent, and contribution to music you got more and more turned off by him as the movie progressed.
This could have been such a better movie about an amazing talent and time in Latin music.
Movie Review: Poor Movie. Should have listened to reviews
Summary: 1 Stars
I didn't know this man/singer and came away from the movie not caring to know him or caring about his life. The movie only showed us drugs and drink. Nothing that would endear us to him in spite of his personal problems.Lopez did a good job. I'll give here credit for that (she was a co producer of this movie) I wanted to stop in the middle of the DVD but persevered on thinking I was missing something that would be revealed. Nada....buy the sound track. Forget the DVD.
