J-Lo's the reason to go

Hap Erstein

Palm Beach Post

"Lavoe biopic stumbles into show-business clichés, saved only by Anthony's vocals and credible dramatic work from Lopez."

Lopez steals scenes, but can't save the movie

John DeFore

Austin American Statesman

"Concert material, with a legion of faceless players surrounding the star, is the only place the filmmakers' colorful, woozy camera style and coked-up editing really feel justified."

Mr. G

"Mark Anthony did an excellent job portraying Hector Lavoe, (even though Lavoe was not as skinny). This movie portrays yet another minority who springs to stardom only to let it be destroyed by tragedy and narcotics. The movie is pretty accurate to what it was like at the time, I just wish they'd show us Puertoricans in a more positive light. "
