Coverage:
Comedian Paul Rodriguez plays Juan, a single Los Angeles father trying to make ends meet by working an endless stream of odd jobs. To make matters worse, Juan is having a difficult time qualifying for a green card.
One day, while selling oranges on the street corner, a stretch limousine pulls up and a man hands Juan a check for a million dollars. But the rub is that Juan must use the check without cashing it, and he has to return it in 30 days. Overnight Juan becomes a celebrity in the barrio, driving a new car and wearing flashy clothes.
Rodriguez directs this light-hearted comedy based on a Mark Twain classic about learning the value of love, loyalty and friendship, and how money can ruin relationships. |
