DVD Reviews of Cumbia CalleraDVD Review: Worth Viewing! Summary: 4 Stars
Like the other reviewer, I too just saw this movie on "cable". I couldn't find anything else to watch and so decided to try this. I'm very glad I did.
This is a simple movie. It centers around a love triangle involving two young men and a young lady.
Basically, boy "B" is a videographer that stumbles onto the couple of boy "A" and the girl. He is immediately captivated by the girl and falls in love with her. He "stalks" her, films her and loves her from afar even though he can see she is involved with boy "A". Finally he makes contact and she responds to his advances. She is flattered by his advances but still cares for boy "B".
The female lead is not beautiful (compared to Salma Hayek)however she is captivating. It is easy to see how boy "B" falls for her the first second he sees her. She is fascinated by boy "B" who is the sensitive, caring, "all attention" paying type which is totally opposite of boy "A" who is a macho male that thinks first with his emotions and hands and almost never his head.
She has a decision to make but she really wants to have it both ways.
I really didn't thrill to the music but enjoyed the movie anyway. Unless you speak better spanish that I do, you'll have to live with the subtitles but it's okay. Dialogue is minimal.
The female lead makes the movie believable. She doesn't just captivate boy "B", she'll captivate you. You will easily understand why boy "B" is so hopelessly under her spell.
So watch this movie. Enjoy the ending.
Note to the prudish: there is a fair amount of nudity and graphic sex.

Description of Cumbia CalleraEnglish:CORI, a savagely beautiful young girl, becomes the center of a love triangle between EL NETO and EL GUIPIRI. Neto, a young middle class filmmaker, becomes fascinated with Cori and without her knowledge begins following her all the while filming her every move of her beautiful body. His obsession ends up bringing him closer to his muse but also dangerously close to his rival Guipiri, her boyfriend. Cumbia Callera is a passionate, urban tale of modern love set to the backdrop of the vibrant music and culture of Monterrey, Mexico. Spanish:La CORI, una joven dueña de una belleza salvaje y abrasiva, se ve como el centro de un triangulo amoroso entre EL NETO y EL GUIPIRI. EL NETO, un joven de clase media, esta fascinado por LA CORI, la filma a hurtadillas con su cámara y sigue los movimientos del bello cuerpo de LA CORI paso por paso. La obsesión del NETO lo acerca poco a poco a su musa pero también a su rival EL GUIPIRI, el novio actual de LA CORI. CUMBIA CALLERA es una historia de amor, cuyo centro es LA CORI. El enfrentamiento de EL NETO y EL GUIPIRI por la misma mujer, los magnetiza a los tres, seducidos por la misteriosa magia de la música y el baile al estilo Colombia de Monterrey.
