Salt Lake Tribune Review
Lucia and Marcus make a charming couple. He (
Lance Gross) is a doctor heading to Laos to treat sick kids, she (\"Ugly Betty\" star
America Ferrera) is a volunteer teacher who recently dropped out of law school. And if this movie were just about them, it might be a sweet little romance. But because Marcus is black and Lucia is Mexican-American, this strained comedy focuses on the culture clash between the two families - particularly the fathers, Marcus\' playboy radio-host dad Brad (
Forest Whitaker) and Lucia\'s well-to-do papa Miguel (comic Carlos Mencia). The script - a tag-team effort by
Wayne Conley, Malcolm Spellman and director
Rick Famuyiwa (\"Brown Sugar\") - runs through the dumbest racial stereotypes and idiotic sight gags (culminating in, no kidding, a goat on Viagra). You\'ll wish Lucia and Marcus had eloped and taken you with them.
