Emilio is a normal teenager who somehow finds himself being sent to the principal's office every other week. He has a crush on Jacklynne, the most popular girl in school, so he decides to run for Student Council President in order to impress her. After announcing his candidacy, Emilio discovers, to his horror, that Jacklynne herself will be running for office against him. Emotions fly high as campaign fever intensifies. Not wanting to lose his chance to win her heart, Emilio devises a risky plan that could come to a disastrous end if the tyrannous school principal gets wind of his scheme. DVD Features:

Summary: Lots of fun!
Comment: Watching this movie brought back so many memories of the one semester I spent attending a public school in Rio Piedras. So many of the school dynamics don't change from one generation to the next.
I show this movie to my 8th grade Spanish class as part of our end of the year celebration and they love it. The kids enjoy the premise, the slapstick, suspense and the occasional gross joke. My one concern for this age group was the use of the word "bitch" in the English subtitles but it's part of a scene that can be easily fastforwarded (no captions show this way)for the 'sake of time'.

Summary: Fun, but watch the language
Comment: I was hoping to show this to my high school students, but the language in the subtitles is awful. I think the language is much worse than a typical US PG-13 movie so be aware this is not PG material. (For schools, this can be a very touchy subject!) It is a cute movie and IF I could show it to them or find some way to bleep out all the bad words in the subtitles, my students would really enjoy it. As it is now, though, I'm the only one who is enjoying it.

Summary: Amusing Puerto Rican teen comedy
Comment: Enjoyable and well made, but not very original or memorable, teen comedy from Puerto Rico. The film seems more remarkable than it really is when compared to other mediocre Puerto Rican films and when you learn about the minimal budget and the filmmakers lack of experience, but the movie doesnt break any new ground (on the contrary) and, like most teen movies, has some very improbable moments. Casi casi is just a well-acted (except for the tone of the main character's narration, which sounded effeminate at times), amusing and unpretentious teen movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent for high school age
Comment: My Spanish students liked this movie very much. The slangs and the relationships among Puerto Rican high school students are very realistic.
Customer Rating:
Summary: More of a teen film
Comment: I think that if I was in the 12-15 range I would have rated this film a five. As an adult I am rating the storyline a three, however the film was edited so well and the photography shots were so great that I give it a five in that arena. It also have some laughs and if you are a US Puerto Rican you will learn words and sayings that you have never been exposed to before- a little strange but at the same time sort of instructive.
