This comedy, set in the barrios East L.A. is loosely based upon Mark Twain's parable The Million Pound Bank Note. The new version tells the tale of Juan Lopez a nice, but uneducated hombre trying to earn enough money to support his little boy. Though Juan was born in the States, he lacks proper documentation and is sent back to Mexico. Now he sells oranges at an intersection. His life looks hopeless when a limousine pulls up and he is handed an envelope containing a check for one million

I remember this film and I can't help but love it.

What a sweet little film. It's very sincere and means well. It has a good moral to the story, a happy ending and a surprisingly good cast. Paul Rodriguez scores as both an actor and director. Nicely written. Polly Draper is also very good. Simple, to the point and very moving.
