Critic Reviews for Born in East L.A.
All Critics (10) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (6)
It's an interesting skewering of the systems on both sides of the border that keep those seeking a better life impoverished and criminalized.
There's ultimately not a whole lot within Born in East L.A. that's worth wholeheartedly embracing...
This soft film lacks any sort of a satiric edge, but Marin's charismatic turn provides it with some lift.
Without the drugs or Tommy Chong, Marin still have something to offer.
Surprisingly pleasant, warm comedy.
Audience Reviews for Born in East L.A.
A Comedy Bordering On Insanity
Super Reviewer
Somewhat funny, but Cheech keeps hammering the title point "Born in East L.A." over our heads until it's annoying.
Super Reviewer
Funny flick. I liked this one and my brother and I always watched it.
