    The movie is being filmed in my neighorhood. As for boring, you are all crazy. It's about time someone makes a movie to distinguish, that just because you speak spanish, you are not only a mexican. There are a lot of different hispanic cultures out there and being puertorriquen is one of them. We puertorriquen families do have a story to teel and I am glad that this movie is being made. The cast came to my house and they are all down to earth people. I look forward to the release of this movie and it WILL NOT BE BORING!!!!!!!!!

    I grew up a few miles North of Humboldt Park. Culturally significant neighborhood, but not sure you can build a story out of it...

    I agree, sounds boring...
