I am by no means a trained film critic. I just like movies. But the more films I see, the greater the appreciation I have for the nuances in character. And Che is a memorable character. He has extensive tattoos, which make him seem hard, but he takes his time ironing his pants just so when he gets ready to go out. He drives a bus, but has a hobby of detailing classic cars and going low riding. He likes old school RnB and not any hip hop or rap. He has difficulty asking his neighbor on a date, but can face down any punk. His favorite catch phrase is telling his friends and colleagues to stay brown.
In addition, to building a strong character, Peter Bratt touches on a number of social issues that Hispanic and African-American communities face today. Of course there's the theme of homophobia, but he also touches on gentrification, domestic violence, and diabetes. Also, Peter knows how to spin the old school jams. The music in this film is phenomenal. So if you like great family drama, iconic character, and smooth rides and jams, this film is for you. Now on DVD.
