Casi Casi Movie
Review
Luke Schultz
Casi Casi is a foreign movie filmed
at a Puerto Rican School. Emilio and his friends: Maria, Angel, Monica, Alfredo
and Natalia, try to convince or trick Emilio’s crush, Jacklynne, into liking
him. Emilio tries to run for class president thinking this will impress
Jacklnne. While this plan is brilliant and well thought out, he soon finds out
he is running against his crush Jacklynne. The only reason Emilio ran in the
first place was to impress his crush. He created a mischievous plan of hacking
into the voting boards changing up the results so that jacklynne would definitely
win. This all occurs will Principal Richardson is on the hunt for these kids
because the kids are trouble makers. While this movie seems silly at first, or
childish its shows a real romantic side of Emilio. It shows the strong
friendship of his friends, helping Emilio do whatever he can to impress his
crush. Because the Principal is a real strict, rude, kind of lady it puts an
unpredictable spin on the movie. It gives the viewers a “butterfly” feeling in
there stomach. It makes the viewers want to jump into the movie and grab the
characters to make sure they don’t get in trouble. As viewers we know more than
the actors or characters in the movie. This is a very good use of irony. In the
end, the principal never knew about the change of the voting, Emilio told
Jacklynne what he did, she thought he was a moron. Emilio saw Jacklynne’s true
side and realized he didn’t need her in his life. The funny, spontaneous, and
outgoing actions of the actors really made the movie enjoyable to sit and
watch. The camera men took great shots, showing only some of the shot so we couldn’t
see everything that was happening until the next shot. For watching a foreign
movie I really enjoyed it.
