A holiday movie for the holiday seasonâ¦Nothing like the Holidays stars a HUGEEE Latino cast. Freddy RodrÃguez, Luis Guzmán, Jay Hernández, Elizabeth Pena, John Leguizamo, and more. Itâs about a Puerto Rican family living in Humboldt Park in the COLD, WINDY city of Chicago.
Â
Whatâs it about you may askâ¦well, mix one crazy family, 1 white girl, a great soundtrack, and you get a pretty damn funny movie. Ok Ok…Iâll tell ya â keep up!
Â
One son comes back from Iraq â not really sure on what he wants to do with his lifeâ¦another son whoâs married to the white girl – – who happens to make more money than him. The sister who her family thinks is a huge actress in Hollywoodâ¦but really isnât. (Who is hot though!) The crazy ass cousinâ¦who is pretty much like another brother â heâs just nuts! The almost adopted son who lives the street life and has HIS own drama. The dad – – who runs a cool little store on the street cornerâ¦who is hiding a secretâ¦and last but not leastâ¦the mom â who thinks that âsecretâ isâ¦well, that he is cheating on her.
Â
Does all that make sense? (Lol) The movie is funny and entertainingâ¦I loved the cast.
