Stereotyped Latino sitcom about a cheating man.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 22, 2010

The only place you're likely to find such shrill and whitewashed caricatures is in the elitist pages of Hola!

I've seen episodes of The Love Boat with more emotional investment and involvement from the characters than this ...

It's like watching Univision or Telemundo on the big screen.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 20, 2003

So resoundingly awful, there may be grounds to sue for mental suffering.

The whole thing is loud and unfunny, not showing off anyone to good advantage.

It's the engaging performances of Jaci Velasquez, Roselyn Sanchez and Sofia Vergara, as well as a few humorous Latin colloquialisms, that turn an otherwise inane script into a cute confection of a film.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 17, 2003

A thin attempt at comedy and a corny take on the buddy movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 17, 2003

Chiquita Banana and the Frito Bandito were subtle compared to the caricatures of Latino culture in this movie.

Chasing Papi is one letter off. It's pap, and the filmmakers definitely caught it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 16, 2003

What this really is is a great deal of screaming and running from room to room, wacky chase scenes, the old bag switcheroo, dim-bulb crooks and zany antics.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 16, 2003

A buoyant antidote to those toxic all-you-need- is-love romantic comedies.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 16, 2003

Cliched characters, implausible situations and a comic style reminiscent of an out-of-control party make for an unfunny, if generally good-natured, ordeal.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 16, 2003

The sledge-hammer attempt to appeal to the country's fastest-growing movie-going demographic makes for a clunky narrative and one-note characters.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 16, 2003

Designed to appeal to various segments of the Hispanic population in the United States and at the same time to the lowest common denominator, Chasing Papi is lame and predictable.

Full Review | Apr 16, 2003

I cannot recommend Chasing Papi, but I cannot dislike it. It commits no offense, except the puppylike desire to please.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 16, 2003

Verastegui is a handsome guy ... but saddled with English he has charisma only a lumberjack could love.

Imagine a movie so broadly conceived that it was written, directed and all parts were played by Charo.

Call it a strawberry-mango sundae for the parched mind. This is not a compliment.
