This is the story of the Reyes family and their adventures, traveling from Mexico to Chicago and places in between. Lala, the youngest, narrates the tale, jumping backwards (to the beginnings of the Awful Grandmother) and forwards in time. So much drama, just like a telenovela.
I think I might have been the only one in our book club who truly enjoyed it. The flow was a little choppy, but I felt that it worked for the story.

A very simple plot (as was the case with these type of movies back then and now) with Arnold as a fish out of water russian cop trying to track a bad guy drug dealer who has fled from moscow to chicago.A wise cracking american cop (belushi) is Arnold's guide through chicago as he hunts down the bad guy..Some funny one liners and old school action set pieces make this an enjoyable film.
