August 6, 2007Hector Lavoe was a legend and along with being a legend comes all the baggage that one carries. The movie provides an insight into the legend's life, with the ups and mostly downs of his personal life and career. Great soundtrack. Loved J Lo's performance as a strong Puertorican woman. Marc brought forth Hector's spirit.
