Review of East Side Story (2006) by Neil O — 25 Mar 2009

Delightfully silly and sweet romance which addresses some serious themes along the way and features an attractive cast cute with hilarious dialog (especially from Bianca) and brightly colourful production design.

Rene Alvarado is a great lead if just a tad too over-pumped to be a normal guy from the barrio. The film doesn't equivocate in the portrayal of provocative issues with three characters who are consumed by their narrow-mindedness.

Very enjoyable.
