Has a warm affection for its music and thoughtful performances from leads John Leguizamo and Elizabeth Pena.

Sings a lovely tune but chokes on its own banal lyrics.

A sweet-natured film, steeped in richly varied and seductive Latin music.

Won't win any awards for narrative groundbreaking, but [it] ... comes across as passionate and, refreshingly, independent of many of the genre cliches upon which such films often rely.

The director stacks the deck in favor of the dreamers, when she should have stacked it against them.

So good-natured and well-intentioned (showcasing as it does up-and-coming Latino bands) that it's tempting to overlook its significant narrative flaws.

...recycles every cliche from the Purple Rain/Crossover Dreams playbook, to tepid effect.

Refreshingly old-fashioned.

Though the film is crammed with music -- the soundtrack is stellar -- the production numbers fall completely flat, leaving you to pine for the over-caffeinated touch of Baz Luhrmann.
