4/5 Good artistic foreign film
  by phoong dan (International)
Not much in the way of dialogue in this film. It's sort of like a musical, Latin-style. The girl is some nice eye candy, very sexy. It's a love triangle between a girl and two guys. A lot of nudity and sex, but tastefully, passionately done. The movie was really very well done from a cinematic standpoint. Set in Monterrey, Mexico.

4/5 You too will fall for her!

I saw this movie on cable TV.
And like the other reviewers pointed out, the plot is very simple but compelling which kept me from turning the channel. It's a love triangle involving a man/woman couple and another man who is captivated by the woman. That woman is Fernanda Garcia Castaneda. She is not your classic beauty but she has tremendous sex appeal and it shows well on screen.
There is very little dialogue but you really don't need to understand their Spanish language because it's obvious what the actors are talking about. The English sub-titles came in handy with the music lyrics. You'll be hearing music throughout the film. I thought it was well done.


5/5 Excellent Movie

It is a simple but fascinating movie. The actors are so real and true to their roles. The young lady (Cory) sexy and captivating. The music fit the movie and it is the dressing in the movie. You must see this movie, specially if you speak spanish.

4/5 Worth Viewing!

Like the other reviewer, I too just saw this movie on "cable". I couldn't find anything else to watch and so decided to try this. I'm very glad I did.

This is a simple movie. It centers around a love triangle involving two young men and a young lady.

Basically, boy "B" is a videographer that stumbles onto the couple of boy "A" and the girl. He is immediately captivated by the girl and falls in love with her. He "stalks" her, films her and loves her from afar even though he can see she is involved with boy "A". Finally he makes contact and she responds to his advances. She is flattered by his advances but still cares for boy "B".

The female lead is not beautiful (compared to Salma Hayek)however she is captivating. It is easy to see how boy "B" falls for her the first second he sees her. She is fascinated by boy "B" who is the sensitive, caring, "all attention" paying type which is totally opposite of boy "A" who is a macho male that thinks first with his emotions and hands and almost never his head.

She has a decision to make but she really wants to have it both ways.

I really didn't thrill to the music but enjoyed the movie anyway. Unless you speak better spanish that I do, you'll have to live with the subtitles but it's okay. Dialogue is minimal.

The female lead makes the movie believable. She doesn't just captivate boy "B", she'll captivate you. You will easily understand why boy "B" is so hopelessly under her spell.

So watch this movie. Enjoy the ending.

Note to the prudish: there is a fair amount of nudity and graphic sex.

5/5 cumbia callera
  by Cynthia Henderson (Lake Stevens, wa)
I saw this on HBO a few weeks ago and just totally loved it. The story is simple and actors great (the girl's very appealing) But the music is the greatest! I had never heard of Cumbia anything until I watched that movie. My usual music is far from that...but I am hooked. If you like foreign movies and like something entertaining don't miss Cumbia Callera!
One thing- the subtitles are yellow. My complaint is only eyestrain
