Hola, como estas? Mi llamo Lucas. Cuantos anios tienes? End of Lucas' spanish knowledge.
First of all, we want to give credit where credit is due and that is to Hillary Swanton and Ben Rector, who referred us to this fine film. However, they did fail to mention that it was not in English... small detail. We forgive them. Under the Same Moon is about a nine year old boy named Carlitos whose mom is living in the U.S. trying to gain citizenship so that he can come live with her. Carlitos lives with his grandmother (his only living relative in Mexico) and when she dies he decides to wait no longer and make the journey to America on his own. His journey is full of trials and hard times but Carlitos' love for his mother drives him to persevere. Carlitos' joy for life and love for the people he encounters is truly inspiring and will leave you teary eyed... well maybe. Rebekah cried 3 different times, Lucas failed to tear up once. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone. 4 stars.

wooo wooo wooo for under the same moon! thanks for making my day with a stellar review by my two most favorite stellar bloggers.
now it's your turn to recommend a movie to me. (and ben.) and if you want to get us back with a foreign film we will understand.
(and honestly i would have told you about the subtitles but the love in my heart for carlitos took away my ability to remember they were there...apologies.)
HAA! I loved this review the mostest...you two crack me up and I'm lucky to know you. See you both soon. I'm addicted to your blog...I think it should be your full time job.
