Wow....sad.....amazing....brilliant....i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a great movie 2 watch.....it is such a powerful movie 2 watch......its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie.....i think that Danielle von Zerneck, Elizabeth Peña, Rosanna de Soto, Esai Morales, Lou Diamond Phillips, play good roles/parts throughout this movie.....i think that the director of this musical/performing arts/drama movie had done a great job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie......i think that this is such a really really sad movie 2 watch, but it is such a fantastic movie 2 watch......its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie.....YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH THE END OF THE CREDITS THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE AS SOMETHING HAPPENES AT THE END OF THE CREDITS THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE.....

Also featured are several members of the Valenzuela family and director Luis Valdez's family, including:

Concepcion Valenzuela (the real Connie Valenzuela, Ritchie's mother) as the older woman sitting next to Ritchie at a party.

Daniel Valdez (Luis' brother) as Ritchie's Uncle Lelo,.

I think that both Lou Diamond Phillips as Ritchie Valens,.

Esai Morales as Roberto "Bob" Morales (Ritchie's half-brother), were absolutley brilliant throughout this movie in the lead roles throughout this movie.....i think that this is such a really reallly powerful drama movie 2 watch it is such a sad movie 2 watch......i think that this is such a really well written/acted/directed movie 2 watch it is such a really powerful drama movie 2 watch with a great cast throughout this movie.....

The producers used the following taglines to market the film:

Born to poverty. Destined for stardom. He Lived the American Dream.

Talent made him a star, Fate made him a legend. The true story of Ritchie Valens.

Man this is such a really really sad movie 2 watch but this is such a brilliant movie 2 watch its got a great cast throughout this movie it is such a brilliant movie 2 watch......
