November 17, 2007This is a good movie, with actor and director (Andy Garcia), Shows the Cuba way of life coming up. Kind of like the Soprano's in the begining. Glad I rented, but doubt that I would add it to my DVD Collection, sorry a nonbuy. Great dancing and music all throughout.

May 28, 2007(April 2006, Director Andy Garcia) Andy Garcia, Dustin Hoffman & Bill Murray right away worth seeing...add Cuba's history to this & you have what movies ought to be!! TREMENDOUS IMPACT! Watch it for Andy Garcia's character who has tremendous heart and responsbility in the face of life's most serious events thrown at him! Dustin Hoffman & Bill Murray's performancse--off beat but very special in this movie! 6 STARS!! Also check out Modigliano....if you have a passion for painting or the Renaissance..or the arts!

September 4, 2006It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. It really touches the different aspects that were affected before and after Castro took his role in Cuba. I love the way in which this movie portrayed the history and present of Cuba. All thumbs UP for Andy Garcia. EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!!
