    Went in knowing very little about it.

    Thoroughly enjoyed it. A wonderfully cast family-centered origin story with the right amount of humor and action. George Lopes stole every scene he was in.

    As a Latino, you can feel the influence of having a director and key cast members being Hispanic throughout. I don’t know that it’s ever been done as well or genuinely, for a film in this genre.
