Review of Papi Chulo

Papi Chulo (2018)
4/10
An empty spot
25 September 2019
At the beginning of this story the character Sean discovers an unpainted spot on his rather grand deck. And that empty unpainted spot represents the sum total of this movie. The story and the characters just come across empty.

I could not empathize with Sean and his feeling of loss nor was Ernesto a character that seemed to add anything to the story. In other words both characters seem as empty as the unpainted spot.

I realize the director, John Butler's intention was for Sean to simply fill the empty spot in Sean's life. But the path taken to achieve this was a poor attempt at dramedy.
