A wink and a nod to U.S. Latino life – “Ladron que Roba a ladron”
Tagged: Hollywood, SpanglishPosted on: September 30th, 2007“”Ladron que Roba a ladron” is a long overdue Hollywood overture to America’s Latino immigrant community. While there have been movies aimed at that audience, they’re plainly calculated as movies for the naturalized, the assimilated, Spanglish speakers.
“Ladron,” a caper comedy, is not. It’s in Spanish with English subtitles. It is defiantly anti-Anglo, anti-Immigration and Naturalization Service. It panders to people who might not want too much attention paid to how they got into the United States. It is Hollywood slick, well-acted with great production values.
And it’s funny.”
