Give us your tired, your poor: but keep Cheech Marin!
Cheech Marin, writes, directs and stars in Born In East L.A., a hip, outrageous comedy that’s more timely than ever. The story foIlows Rudy (Marin), an American of Hispanic descent, whose south-of-the-border looks show him no mercy during an immigration raid in a migrant worker factory. As his Iuck goes, he is caught with neither money nor his ID and is deported to Mexico without speaking a word of Spanish! Unable to contact his vacationing famiIy or his newIy immigrated cousin (pIayed by comedian Paul Rodriguez), Rudy is in for a crazy ride as he tries every Iegal and iIIegaI scheme he can think of to get back home. He finds himseIf in jaiI, in Iove, and practicalIy in-sane in this hiIarious case of mistaken, or rather, mispIaced, identity! |
