Who has friends like these characters
25 December 2002
This was like watching five-year old boys arguing over toys and little latino girls sticking their noses in everybody's business in the worst possible time and then acting all surprised when a boy lost it and smacked them. You probably had the experience of going to a nice restaurant and sitting next to some parents with the most annoying out-of-control brats you could imagine. Those kids were screaming uncontrollably and running all around the restaurant, maybe even bumping into you and not even apologizing, playing with their food and crying when somebody told them to do something they didn't want to. But the worst part was that their parents didn't do a goddamn thing to stop their children's "fun"; either because they thought it was completely normal and natural behavior or because they thought that children should be allowed to do whatever they desired because they just don't know better. You can decide which is worst! But the point I'm trying to make is that people in this movie are those spoiled rotten kids. I truly couldn't believe their conversations. I thought those conversations (arguments between George's or Jerry's parents) on "Seinfeld" were disturbing but you won't know annoying and uneducated people until you've seen this movie. Their debates (which in one way or another way always end with men shouting over one another and the latino woman screaming) were so unimaginably pathetically annoying that I truly couldn't believe that people actually communicated this way. And that latino woman! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! No wonder she got slapped around on so many occasions. It's a wonder she made it through high school(even in America). But then again, she probably didn't even go to high school. None of the characters probably didn't. The only person who made some sense was Jimmy, but he had the hot-tempered friend who was full of sh#t. If real life people talk to each other like this then it's no wonder that the homicide rate is as high as it is. But I think that's exactly what this movie is trying to tell the viewer. People get killed for no apparent reason, the people who shot them just didn't like them. It's that simple and it's that easy. I wouldn't last an hour with these people; either they'd get into a fight with me over the dumbest and most trivial thing imaginable and I'd get popped, or I'd loose it because they were such idiots and I'd kill them.

Because of the movies authenticity there is no climax or downfall here; it's just a straight line, just another day to struggle for survival. But I still hope that the uneducated fools that were displayed here don't exist in real life. Well I know they do, but I hope there aren't many of them. 8/10
