The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit

Magical, musically entertaining, amusing and clean!!
The premise of this movie is quite unusual, five men pool their last few dollars to purchase a brilliant "ice cream" white suit that will empower them. Humorous, heartful, musical, silliness and action!

The men, Bien Azul, Martinez, Dominguez, Gomez and Daminos schedule the suit for an hour on the first night. Each takes his turn at wearing the suit, and reluctantly share it with the very filthy, smelly street urchin, as he contributed also.

They take extreme pride in the suit and the urchin must be bathed, hair cut, and he needs specific instructions: He is not to fall down, no standing under trees with birds in it, no drinking wine, no smoking, don't eat juicy tacos. One other request: don't go to the Red Rooster where the fat one, Ruby Escadrillo is because she would sit on his lap and crush the suit, put powder and lipstick on it and most of all she has a mean boyfriend "El Toro", the monster.

Well, the fun begins when he goes to the Red Rooster and does everything they...

A Celebration of Life!
I refuse to even contemplate living in a world in which Ray Bradbury does not exist. For within Bradbury's mind resides an entire universe filled with metaphor and dreams; galaxies teeming with life and love and poetry, with tales told and untold of such things as this world has never known and would never know, except for that magic that flows from his heart, through his brain and out through his fingertips, where they are born on the keys of his typewriter. And within that very same, ever fertile imagination, that wellspring of creativity, the words were formed, in a rush! and a swirl!, then tempered on Bradbury's mental forge of the fantastic, that ultimately came together and burst! forth as "The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit," a transporting film directed by Stuart Gordon.

Gomez (Joe Mantegna) lives in the barrio; a poor man, except in spirit, for Gomez has dreams, ah, such dreams! of something better, of a better life, of the magic that can happen if you but want it badly enough...

tasty and full of flavor!!!/sabroso y de buen gusto!!!
This is one of those films that you could enjoy with your children, with your friends or on a date. I know, some of you guys might be thinking, "Why would I want to watch a film about a suit made out of ice cream?" Well, first of all, the suit isn't actually made of ice cream. It is so perfectly white y bien suave (smooth) looking that it is comparable to vanilla ice cream. Also, this suit possesses magical powers. Whoever wears it, their deepest dreams will be realized. First, five men, who are definitely not made of money must pool their funds ($20 each) to purchase it from the clothing shop. Little do they know, how their luck can change in only a day's time!!!!! Also, they must share it--each only allowed to wear it for a short time.

This film has a wonderful musical score, the acting is strong and it is great to see a movie with such a positive and triumphant spirit. Also, the lead characters are all well known and well respected Latino actors. How wonderful...
