I currently have to watch this sh()t with my GF and I wish the electricity or internet to crash so that I won't have to watch anymore. This is so outrageously bad. Please someone kill me.

I know this is for kids, but it doesn't mean it has to be that bad. The acting is terrible, and the story couldn't be more generic. There are some nice Mexican references, but the film's atmosphere is very plastic. Too bad they didn't exploreI know this is for kids, but it doesn't mean it has to be that bad.

This movie is awesome. Ignore all these whiners. Great feel good film. Well done all around. Especially Demian Bichir. Chupa was adorable. Some good family & heritage lessons. Loved it.

As we’ve grown up, there have been fewer of these moments, as mainstream media has become littered with self-centered and radically opinionated narcissists. Every now and then, a gem of valuable human effort can be found in our society, and “Chupa” is an excellent example. This movie has all the hallmarks of flawless Hollywood: great casting, a well written script, beautiful cinematography and a good plot. Its focus is on younger viewers, and it excels in providing wisdom, emotion and entertainment to that specific audience. This wonderful film contains none of the divisive content that has come to litter our media in every form and fashion, and thus remains one of the few experiences today that parents won’t have to worry about presenting to their children. Controversial issues such as race, sexuality, identity, and their endless political stances are ignored in “Chupa”, a moral choice by director Jonás Cuarón, which is becoming rarer and rarer in an industry hell bent on either lecturing you or leaving a good social impression. This movie will be more comfortably received by Spanish speakers, as nearly half its lines are in that language. However, those intrepid viewers who are willing to overcome the frustration of subtitles are rewarded with the quintessential Mexican experience: everything from scenic views, socials interactions and the delicious food of Mexico and its people. In conclusion: if you want to reminisce about the wholesome films of your childhood, but also see something new, or maybe you have kids and want to take them to the movies, or safely plop them down in front of the television (without having to give an hour lecture about race or gender afterwards), then this film is for you!
