This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie is a benchmark for future Dominican films, it incorporates the society in a way that hasn't been done before, definitely looking forward to Lotoman003 which seem to be causing quite a commotion in the island. The truth is that for me this was necessary, a comedy which inspires unity in families but also portrays the hardships people face with different adversities and how to go about them, similar to the drama we face on a daily basis. If you are a Spanish speaker you should watch the movie, if you are Dominican you should watch it even more. Latins all over have enjoyed it. I write this review from the bottom of my heart, I have been truly moved and feel very proud of my country to see things like this coming together, so don't waste more time and check it out for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

When you see it, you really have to wonder yourself: why did this become a movie? It's just a bunch of jokes (some very old) and strips with no logical relation, nor to each other neither to the story-line.It's true, you get to laugh and it carries a message. But it's not worthy to be on a movie theater because of that. Honestly, I think this was better of a screenplay for a TV-series.Dominican directors/producers persist in doing this "comedy movies" because they say "is the easiest way to develop the movie-industry in Dominican Republic" and "is easier to connect whit the audience". But they need get into account that, this same audience DOES see the other kind of movies.So it's not a new field of exploration. You can try hard on doing a good-quality/writing, real-actors movie, and PEOPLE WILL SEE IT.For instance we have very good examples, I think "The King of Najayo" is a marvelous big step-forward in the Dominican movie industry. It has a well define story line, the acting was almost flawless, and do not fall into mixing it with those every-day jokes.

My goodness. I never thought a ?movie? could be this bad. What a waste of my precious time!The storyline, well it doesn't exist. It's a long TV sketch. Really bad writing, acting, editing... Just horrible. I stayed throughout the film because I was with my girlfriend and she had been anxious to watch it. She was also disappointed. Next time, I'll wait for something better like "Tres al rescate" or The butcher's son (La soga).Dominican directors should see good movies first and learn from them. We're not going anywhere if we continue delivering such a bad example of filming

Lotoman is an example of films made for the race and without any cinematic approach. The story tells how two brothers move from very poor to millionaires to win the lottery and living situations in their new status of wealthy.Of the positive things the film worth mentioning is the performance of Alfonso Rodriguez gets into the character and makes it credible, on the other hand, the bottom line is acceptable, the bad thing is the way we have it all.The script is not clear, let other crazy situations with less sense and stay in the air. Raymond Pozo Miguel Cespedes show that there aren't movie stars, TV is your thing, the short comedy sketch and ready.Dominican Republic is a country that enjoys his comedians, supports his films, I think it is time for the national film producers support the Dominicans with a good movie as we deserve.Rafael Rodríguez Torres
