I always said don't let the critics decide what movie you want to watch.
My local newspaper gave "An Officer and a Gentleman" two starts. It turned out to be a wonderful romance and while I watched I predicted Louis Gossett Jr. Would win the "Best Supporting Actor Oscar" for his performance as Sargent Foley. 'Nuff Said.
Growing up in South Florida I saw first hand how important family was in the Latin Family structure. This was one thing I liked about the movie. What I didn't care for was the wokeness. What drew me to the movie was Xolo Mariduena as Jaime Reyes. I am a big fan of his work on Cobra Kai and he doesn't miss a beat. Graduating from college he comes home ready to take on the world only to be disappointed landing a job at a hotel where he gets fired. Here he meets Jenny Kord played by Bruna Marquezine the "Black Sheep" of the Kord family neice of Victoria Kord played by Susan Sarandon. The actor who blew me away was Adriana Berraza's character "Nana" who goes from a typical grandma to "Rambolina". There were some hiccups but the movie is worth seeing. I believes it does deserve the sequel that the hint after the credit shows.
