    5 out of 5 stars a very sweet movie with a lot of heart.......2007-06-08

    I was searching for a good film to show my Spanish 1 class as a reward for their hard work throughout the year. I didn't want to show "Selena" or "Stand and Deliver" because a lot of the students had already seen them. Fortunately, I stumbled across "A Million to Juan" and tried it. After watching it to make sure it was school-appropriate, I knew I had picked a winner. The plot was interesting, the characters engaging, and the message hopeful. I highly recommend the film for anybody. There are a couple of racy comments at the beginning, but, overall, "A Million to Juan" is a good family film.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the most favorite love story I ever saw.......2002-09-11

    Personally, I enjoy this film whenever I see it that I bought a copy for myself. It has an unlikely twist. You have this Hispanic widower(Rodriguez) raising his son with his brothers,battling dirty landlords,immigration issues,stereotypes,and the whole nine yards. He runs into a guy who hands him a check and the story runs from there. why I consider it a beautiful love story is due to the underplot with Juan and the Immigration lady(Polly Draper). Why I love it so much is because despite the stuff that Juan went through, he always had a dream, and he kept his head up no matter what. And he was a good father for his son. I just happened to catch this movie on cable some years back, and I became hooked. Hope you will too.

    5 out of 5 stars fun.......2002-08-06

    i ran into this movie one day in 1995 at the video store well luckilly i rented it. i love it.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best yet underrated movies there is........2001-10-11

    I saw this movie a couple of years ago, and loved it from the start. I forgot about it until I was checking out movies and all and start to looking for it. But if you ever felt like giving up, and you need a serious boost, well, this is the movie to see. here you have this man who was born in this country, but had no proof, then he lived in this slum of an apartment, worked as best as he could, and he gets a windfall of a million dollars that he had to give back after thirty days. It caused poor Juan problems upon problems, but in the end, he really triumphs. See, I always feel that we always will have obstacles, but what we do with them is the key. Now, as far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best films ever made. but, it probably wasn't so popular because it didn't hold the interest with sex,drugs,violence. But, this movie is a gem. many kudos to Paul Rogriguez and cast for this film.

    5 out of 5 stars A sweet kind gentle film.......1999-06-21
