Chasing Papi (2003)
5/10
Fun film
3 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Basic premise of this movie is one guy dating 3 women in different cities. To surprise her man, all three women (independently of each other) decide to visit him at his home in Los Angeles. (Sidenote: why would a guy give all 3 women his home address in LA????) When they run into each other, they decide to stick around until their man makes a decision on whom he chooses. Of course, there is a subplot about the stolen money, a couple of bad guys, and a persistent FBI agent. While this is a fun film to watch, it isn't anything ground breaking. I found the character playing Papi to be very stiff. I couldn't really feel any connection between him and all three women. Considering all actors are Latin, I would have like to see more dancing, music, and more of Papi character behaving more like a man. Most of the film he is just sleeping while his women are caught up in some kind of criminal scheme. The only reason this movie worked for me was that it was only 80 minutes and it moved fast.
