    Funny as hell only for the Spanish an people can understand there lango

    Great movie!

    I had so much fun watching this movie, I agree is far better than one expects. I am Spanish but lived in DR for a year and a half, even though I am familiar with Dominicans and Dominican slang I don't agree that this movie can only be enjoyed by Dominicans... A Spaniard or, specially, any other Latino can easily follow the thread and maybe he won't understand 100% but the expressions you can figure out even if you've never heard it before!

    Filming is not the best ever, but technical problems are compensated with a hilarious acting and a hectic action. They should have watched out better for details, the DHL bag that the girl in the bus carries doesn't look from the 70s...

    Great good luck for Múñiz!

    Funny movie but needs better English subtitles

    It is a very funny movie. However, for non-Spanish speaking people, it would be hard to understand the meaning of the movie, because the translation (caption/subtitles) is not near as good as it should be.. It needs a better translation in English, non-Spanish speakers would be able to laugh at the jokes as Hispanics would. What the actors were saying was not the same interpretation written in the subtitles but I recommend to non-Spanish speaker to go with someone that does speak the language, He/She might help you to understand the joke. I'm glad that this movie has been released in new york city , but it has not been "advertise" as it should be. I saw "NuebaYol" 10 years ago and it was not as funny as this one.

    original story, fun to watch

    I think Perico Ripiao is a good movie,it is a comedy, so it achieves its goal of making you laugh. The story is original, and it looks very good on screen, also the music is very good. i enjoyed it. saw it twice and laughed as hard as the first time. i hope they can take it all over the world where latin americans are. (remember the subtitles for the gringos). Angel Muñiz is talented, i think he will surprise the world someday. His first work, nueba yol was very good, i couldn't believe it when i saw it on cinecanal once (people who know what cinecanal is, know they only show good movies) i felt proud. we have to remember that in dominicana we don't have the big film industry and the money and the support hollywood has, so it was a big effort to make this movie, and i respect him for doing it as a professional as he did it no matter what. if you have the chance to see it, go for it, it is interesting and fun. i certainly would love that next time Angel Muñiz makes a movie, it's not so dominican, so that he can start becoming an international director, maybe our next Pedro Almodovar. :o) I give it 8.5 of 10
