 | In my humble opinion,'Born In East L.A.' is a second rate comedy.Things start happening when Los Angeles native Rudy Robles(Cheech Marin-also directed the film)is sadly mistaken for an illegal alien.So,they try to deport him back to Mexico.He tries to contact his family,but his non-English speakin cousin Javier(Paul Rodriguez)cannot help him.A few semi-comical scenes,but for the most part,this DVD is basically something to watch ONLY when you're wanting to kill some time.Cheech&Chong fans may get more out of it than I did. |

| I bought the Goodtimes version used and was disapointed the end was cut. Ipicked up the Universal version and found out it was also missing the last part of the movie. 5 stars for the original version, 0 stars for these versions. |

| This movie is pure fun. It's not to be taken so seriously. This is a great movie to watch alone when you really need a laugh. This movie is great to watch with my grown children because we laugh together just like we did when we watched it years ago, in our happy home when they were carefree children, before all the world crap, job closings and war hungry people trying to blow us off this earth, Aids, etc.. Maybe if I were an angry, put - up - on Latino - Black - etc., I would find some parts "not so funny"? It's refreshing to watch a movie that doesn't depend on 4 letter words, sex or racial insults to be funny. Certain movies are made to make us laugh and sometimes when we let down our guards ( racism-lonliness-fear ) and open our tight lips to laugh we "breathe." The next time you are down watch this movie or "Soapdish" or "Half-baked" - "CaveMan", "My Blue Heaven", etcc.. I am a wife, proud granny, positive Black American. Find peace and Joy - share a smile. Thanks. |

| This version of the film on DVD is better than the one from goodtimes productions. Yet both versions on DVDs are very edited from the original version. The film is a little longer, on scene in particular is the marriage scene at the end, how else did Rudy end up in a float at the parade, and that is just one major one. This DVD is good, but the old VHS version seems more "complete." I only wish Cheech had the support to create other such films! |
