Victor is growing up on the Lower East Side and is at the age where he is driven by desire and unchained by maturity. His image as a ladies man is shattered when he is found in Fat Donna's bedroom. Soon, as a result of his sister's big mouth, the whole Dominican community knows. Full of confidence, Victor sets out to reclaim his image by winning Judy. Judy proves to be elusive and difficult ('Okay, you're my new man... but I'm warning you, don't fuck with me!') Victor persists, and with a surprising tenderness, ultimately wins Judy's heart. (imdb)

Well-acted, different and poignant - and yet somehow still slightly unremarkable. Its scope is almost too limited (never thought I'd see myself saying that).

There's nothing gritty about this drama, which makes absolutely no mention of inner city violence and whose main conflict is between a conservative granny and her teenage son. But whatever it loses by its idealism, it makes up for in its charm, honesty, and in the great performances by the actors.
