    "A suburban doofus is a real good Timbalero (percussionist, Latin style drummer) so he goes off to LA to join a blistering Salsa band.

    To make this review longer his parents didn't approve of him playing in a band!.. Sound familiar!! Don't play in bands kiddies--unless u real good but keep yer day jobs anyway! By sheer bad luck falls in with some bad guys and what ensues makes a real good movie, including falling in love with his very lovely girlfriend.     "

    Rating: 8/10

    Scale:
    Remember 5/10 is good enough.
    10/10 I can leave in the DVD player for a month and keep on watching it.
    4/10 I go get a coffee and start looking for a new film.
