Gimme a break

How can this abomination have an average of 6.0? Sorry but it casts a shadow over all of IMDb's ratings. From now on, I'll have to assume anything below 9.9 is a total piece of crap.

Reviewing the movie is kind of pointless. It's a zero brains comedy showcasing a popular 80s TV comedian. Mr. Calabro was a pretty popular actor in Argentinian TV, in the early to mid 80s he headlined his own show, where he created this character, a spoof of dumb Latin dance singers, although often times the spoof effect was lost since he was not much smarter than the object of his jokes.

The movie does little more than repeating the most popular songs from the TV show, with a flimsy romantic - good vs bad guy background. This kind of cheap movie is common to almost every country, it's intended to make a quick buck banking on TV successes, and that's not bad per se. But awarding any value to it is plain ridiculous.
