Description

Marc Anthony ("Man on Fire," "Big Night") steps into the role of Salsa superstar Hector Lavoe in this biopic that follows the singer from his early career success as a Puerto Rican teen sensation to his later status as a New York City Latin idol while also documenting his ongoing struggle against drug and alcohol addiction. Golden Globe-nominee Jennifer Lopez ("Maid in Manhattan," "Selena") co-stars as Puchi, Lavoe's longtime muse and love interest.

    Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez's performances in the film are outstanding! You can really feel what not only Hector was going through but, his wife Puchi as well. Not to mention the extraordinary cover of Hector's album "El Cantante" by the legendary Salsero! Great Music and a very deep story. Magnificent movie!!! Starring 2 of the biggest stars in Latin Music, Jlo and Marc Anthony
  • For Salseros

    First of all, I believe this movie was made for salseros who’ve always enjoyed Héctor’s music and wondered about the man and his life. It wasn’t filmed for everyone, and certainly don’t pay attention to those critics. They’re mostly white, old, and can’t relate with the life style of the salseros. They don’t understand the culture, they don’t understand the music, they think it’s beneath them. Forget the critics. Having said that, I think I would have liked to see less of Jennifer Lopez and more of the music and how Héctor got his inspiration. But no movie will ever please everyone. I’m glad I finally decided to watch this movie. ¡Viva la salsa!

    This movie allowed the younger fans of salsa to grasp an understanding of what we have to offer to music. It was a great film and made me appreciate my culture and music that much more.

    This is my favorite movie of all time, but why is it only available for rent and not purchase?
