Vote for Me!
Running time: N/A
How thin is the line between politics and madness? The exuberant comedy, Vote For Me!, set in El Barrio, New York City, finds out in one of the funniest satires in years, a razor-sharp look at how quickly the world of elections and candidates escalates into inspired lunacy.Leo Machuchal, a Puerto Rican building super, gets no respect. Constantly razzed by neighbors, local thugs and even domino players, Leo finds the chance of a lifetime when a congressman drops dead, and he finds himself the new candidate. With his new friends behind him, Leo pushes forward with his campaign, irascibly budding heads with rivals.Featuring a killer soundtrack and an energetic gallery of characters (including Soul Foodâ??s Malik Yoba, acclaimed Rocardo Barber from Repertorio Español and nationally-known Latino comic Angel "Chi Chi" Salazar), Vote For Me! is a jamboree of uninhibited comedy that makes use of director Nelson Antonio Denisâ?? own experience as a former State Assemblyman. When it comes to laughs, it will have your vote.Fernando F. CroceCINEQUEST DXD
