 Fun, but watch the language July 4, 2008
Chalkbrd (IN United States)
I was hoping to show this to my high school students, but the language in the subtitles is awful. I think the language is much worse than a typical US PG-13 movie so be aware this is not PG material. (For schools, this can be a very touchy subject!) It is a cute movie and IF I could show it to them or find some way to bleep out all the bad words in the subtitles, my students would really enjoy it. As it is now, though, I'm the only one who is enjoying it.
 Amusing Puerto Rican teen comedy June 24, 2008
Kardius (USA)
Enjoyable and well made, but not very original or memorable, teen comedy from Puerto Rico. The film seems more remarkable than it really is when compared to other mediocre Puerto Rican films and when you learn about the minimal budget and the filmmakers lack of experience, but the movie doesnt break any new ground (on the contrary) and, like most teen movies, has some very improbable moments. Casi casi is just a well-acted (except for the tone of the main character's narration, which sounded effeminate at times), amusing and unpretentious teen movie.
Excellent for high school age June 16, 2008
Profesora (Delaware)
My Spanish students liked this movie very much. The slangs and the relationships among Puerto Rican high school students are very realistic.
More of a teen film May 20, 2008
A. marrero
I think that if I was in the 12-15 range I would have rated this film a five. As an adult I am rating the storyline a three, however the film was edited so well and the photography shots were so great that I give it a five in that arena. It also have some laughs and if you are a US Puerto Rican you will learn words and sayings that you have never been exposed to before- a little strange but at the same time sort of instructive.
 A must see Puerto Rican Film May 6, 2008

Casi Casi is a great Puerto Rican film that will leave you longing for more. I had never even heard of the movie before, but decided to take a chance on it and buy it. After all - I knew Marian Pabon's work from TV and other media, and I figured it would be a good way to support the Puerto Rican film industry. After watching the movie I can honestly say that it was very well done. The young actors impressed me with their ability to carry their characters in a superb way. The story line was great and the score was fantastic. This movie is a must see!
