Rating: 4.0
Good Enough
The movie was good enough to get the point across. There was a few things that didn't seem to mesh as far as the age issues and a couple of other things that went down. Although I do think that the realistic lifestyles made up for the parts that seemed to be almost filler.The girls were great they made the story move and you could really see the different CHOICES that they were making.I have to say that I did appreciate this one just as much as Mi Vida Loca for the different story that took into account the school aspect and really brought the families into the film. Familia is important and they are apart of the struggles that our kids go through and often are why our kids get involved in the gang life.Effectively put things in a perspective opening up the conflicts that one would go through after the glammer of the Life begins to fade. I also appreciated that there were two gang members who realized that they need to change things and talk to kids about getting out of the life.Unfortunately many dont get the chance to retire from the life. It's positive that they were able to see that at a younger age and not have to learn it later in prison, like so many of our brothers and sisters.C/S
