Many people feel that this movie gave a terrible perception of the Puerto Rican Community. In reality the people who believe that, are ignorant to who was Hector Lavoe & Puchi. Its not about the drug addiction or Puchi's bad language but about how a young innocent boy came from Puerto Rico and was caught up in the midst of fame and misfortune. Hectors life was strictly what you saw, and Marc gave a great performance in interpreting his life to the public. When you come to think of it every culture has its faults. Rey Charles, Billy Holiday, Liberace and there is much more to count. Its unfortunate that Hector lived this life but he's not the first nor the last and thats what people must accept. This movie gives the audience an awareness and that is to not let others influence your lifestyle b/c you too can be a Hector or Ray Charles or Liberace. All Marc and Jennifer did were put on a performance of 2 people who became legends throughout puerto rican history. I give it to them 100%.

Its just not the Puerto Ricans!!!!
