Plot summary

In the midst of the Mariel boat lift -- a hurried exodus of refugees from Cuba going to America -- an immigration clerk accidentally presumes that dissident Juan Raul Perez and Dorita Evita Perez are married. United by their last name and a mutual resolve to emigrate, Dorita and Juan agree to play along. But it gets complicated when the two begin falling for each other just as Juan reunites with his wife, Carmela, whom he hasn't seen in decades.

Good movie. Portrays the dilemma of "freedom" quite accurately. I would not label it as "comedy", but hey, each to his own. Great story, well directed and very good cinematography. Stellar cast all excels in character, Marisa Tomei really shines, as always filled with that characteristic sparkle and energy. Lots of drama, confusion, dilemma, heartbreak, joy, emotion, intrigue and twists. Gripping, engaging and entertaining

Truly awful. Not funny or dramatic. It hurt to watch. I had high expectations because of the cast.

Two Cubans in the 1980's are on their

two Cubans in the 1980's are on their way to America to escape the oppresion and the political asylum they are played by Alfred Molina and Marisa Tomei; Molina is Juan Paul Perez and Tomei is Dorita Evita Perez the only way to get into the country is to pretend to be married although the one small detail is that Juan's actual wife,Carmela played by Angelica Houston is still waiting for him...for the last 20 years Immigration Services is often in the way too as they hope to get a sponsor for citizenship they are in a bit of a pickle now as both Juan and Dorita eventually start to develop actual feelings for one another who knew that creating a fake family could feel more real than the one left behind? it's kinda amazing too that for a Latino-based family most of the actors are actually white and the director is Indian native but he still manages to tell a lovable, unexpectedly touching story about how love can spring out of nowhere Juan doesn't want to go with the charade but Dorita will help them both in any way they can to avoid being deported back home Carmela is still blissfully waiting for Juan to come back to her although everyone else has given up saying she's delusional who knows if she's ready to move on? only so much time can pass in waiting when we can finally wake up to see that something is better for us all a very likable treat of a film
