yes it is funny
but you should have a good understanding of dominican street and countryside expressions in order to really get it....and some knowledge of dominican customs and traditions.
I bet a lot of DR1ers wouldn't like the movie...it's just a hunch

Funny you should ask
This movie,I guarantee you is made for Dominicans, and specially chopos. If you have a hard time understanding Dominican humor, which I do, I recommend you do not see this travesty called a film.
Just think, everyone of the actors are the same old crappy "humorists" you see on Dominican TV, whose jokes are as bad Hippo's. Those who have watched "Perdone La Hora" or "Titirimundati" will see a rerun of the serial(deadly)jokes you see on Dominican TV day in and day out. These amateur "actors" are just the cheapest thing the producers could find to meet a $500,000 budget.
But lo and behold, Dominicans, mostly chopos, are rushing to see this crap. My girlfriend has been pushing me to take her. I told her I would pay for a "private escort", plus expenses for her and the escort. But I would only be caught dead watching that movie, or the other "Exito Por Intercambio", a true life experience put on film of "megadivas in action".

well if it was made for "chopos " then golo and his momma should be the 1st in line!!!!!
im tired of golos comment that everything Dominican is below his standards , ive got a couple of questions
why the hell do you associate with dominicans ?
have you seen the programs and some movies done in europe and the usa ...some of them sucj ,whats worst with millions dumped into them !
if you cant understand the comedy and jokes of dominicans maybe its time you start to hang out with gringos or whatever you are.
I remeber a while back talking about merengueros and you saying the puertorican merengueros are better ....lol
thats like saying white people can dance !!!
i support dominicans ,in every which way i can, angel muniz and the rest of the cast are tryin to put US DOMINICANS on the map ,it may not be to your taste or not directed for you ,but you dont have to call naming ....theres a saying that you should look into golo
A man only swears (or call names )because he does not have the correct words to say !

Dominican Humor By Chopos
Can anybody define or perhaps describe what is Dominican Humor by Chopos?
I wonder what is the difference between humor by a chopo and the rest? Are there more Dominican Humor types???

I wonder If Golo likes Balbuena.
I do. Mercer you hit right on. Golo doesn't like anything dominican. He's a snob who should have stayed in the frigid North.
I like chopo-ness just not around me but I do laugh at it from afar and on TV.

Golo lives in the wrong Place
Is hard to portrait a Society from within a matchbox GOLO calls his Palace, regardless of your cleverness you are DOMINICAN(DOMINICANO) if you are so ashame of you and your people i have a simple way out (just Die), stop calling everything Dominican (chopo) and call it what it actually is a country reflection through ART, i guess your (Sangre Azul) have not seen horizons further than your porch charco everytime it rains.
te lo dejo de tarea.

That's right Leif Ericson. The supposed chopo-ness is an expression of art through a dominican lens. It's quite colorful and breathes life to the DR. What would the DR be without it? A dull boring drab of half completed shoebox construction sites. Maybe something out of Rumania.
What country do you guys live in?
DR has two different nations within. One is the chopo world. The other one is the Dominican elite. Both exist under the same sky, but in different realities. Both realities are in-excapable. Just to give you an example...In my visit to the Acropolis this Sunday I saw something very unusual- incredible long lines for a movie. It was the line for Perico Ripiao. The Acropolis movie house has two sections destined for this movie because of the high demand for seats. The Acropolis is not known for many chopos visiting the mall, since the place is not yet ready for chopos and the shops are quite expensive and stuffy for chopos' tastes.
Yet almost 98% of the people in line to see Perico Ripiao were chopos(mostly dark skin, pelo malos, and imitation jevitos from the oriental zone). I could not identify any upper class people in the lines, and I know most of them by sight. I know the schools they go to, the clothes they wear, etc. There were a few people who looked like upper class. But they must be people from the oriental zone who look like it, but are not. The Dominican elite is not buying Perico Ripiao tickets. They would be ashamed to be seen in that line, and would not under any circumstances share the experience with the rift raft.
Not that we are against anything Dominican. We just have class. We are different. We behave differently. We are still Dominicans. Certain things Dominican just don't make it. I love our beaches, our food, our family traditions. We have our own neighborhoods. I love "my" weather", our freestyle of doing things. Just because I think merengue stinks, bachata is for second class and chopos belong somewhere else does not make me anti-Dominican.
I do not agree with apartheid. Or the recent refusal by Club Praia to allow Vickiana's daughter into this exclusive high class, all white club. She is beautiful enough with her tanned dark skin. But I prefer exclusive clubs without chopos, and to avoid the suckers, I just go to very expensive joints with demanding attire rules. Chopos cannot handle many rules. They rather stay in their colmadones. I agree with them.
By the way, Nueva Yol is just as bad. Balbuena is the ultimate Dominican-York chopo, a species I rather avoid. I never lived in a Dominican community while in the USA. My enclaves were Chatham, N.J., the Gold Coast in Chicago and 38th. St. in the lower East Side, NY. No chopos there. I never went to a chopo school and the schools I attended in DR did not allow chopos. Sorry this is DR. True!!!

I am out of the loop on this one...I've never seen or heard of Perico Ripiao. But I will say this,
Golo: I couldn't agree with you more.
Disliking certain aspects of Dominican society does not make one anti-Dominican. That's complete nonsense. Perico Ripiao was most likely made in order to appeal to a certain class of people. There's obviously a market for it, and that's that's perfectly fine. I'm proud to be Dominican but I would not pay money to see it.
As a side note: It's good to know that I am not the only Dominican that lived in Chicago's Gold Coast.
