Not sure why this movie got such low "stars" because I liked it. Paul Rodriguez plays a serious role as the Latino running for mayor of his small city. CCH Pounder plays a Black woman who is also running for that position. It actually exposes some of the dirty tricks politicians play in order to achieve votes. Not only entertaining but also interesting. There are a few laughs in it, but mostly pretty serious.

Worth a Rental!

"I watched this film on HBO this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. CCH Pounder and Paul Rodriguez give excellent performances in this flick about two people running for a vacant city council seat. It is an excellent examination of how ordinary "good" people can get caught up in mudslinging and the "game" of American politics. The talented multiracial cast offer a fresh perspective on the political process that usually gets cut-out in an age of sound bites."
With a great score by Stan Ridgway

"The music for this great quirky film about city politics gone absurd in Los Angeles was written by songwriter / composer Stan Ridgway. The score alchemizes a number of ethnic instruments, ( Spanish harps, Tibetan bowls, gut string guitar,Indian oud and Russian bozuki) into a style hybrid that totally reflects this tragi/comedy without sounding like anything specific to any group or "race". Music for the L.A. melting pot. Five stars."
Very educational film
