The series is set at the Elite Way School, a prestigious private boarding high school near Mexico City (In Rebelde Way it was a middle school). The school's faculty and the parents often have their own subplots as well. One feature of the show is the random use of English words and phrases, commonly used by fresas. One of the series' major plot lines revolves around a group of students forming a pop band. The actors, who play the members of this band, are also in a real band, abbreviated as RBD to distinguish it from the show. RBD performs most of the music used on the show, and has been extremely successful in its own right, becoming one of the highest-grossing acts in Mexico and touring internationally.

Las Juanas: Season 2 (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Las Juanas Season 2 is the Mexican version.
The soap opera does not intend to be serious and in some way they are taking the piss out of the telenovela's industry by being overly cheesy at times (maybe I see it that wat because I am Mexican), so it has to be enjoyed for what it is.
Wish it had the subtitles for the English speakers but I guess it is a good way to practise for those who had a reasonable level of Spanish (beside the native speakers of course)

Lo Mejor del Chavo del 8: El Chicle en el Sombrero (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review that I'm making here isn't about this DVD perse, is about the whole set of DVD's from El Chavo del 8 that have been released.
I'm a big fan of this TV program and I was thrilled when I saw some years ago that some DVD's were edited. I got 3 or 4 and after watching them I was dissapointed because the episodes were cut and the image was poor.
Now some years later I have all the DVD's and some are good but they're far from giving any quality. Another thing that bothers me, is that the backing music is different. It's more modern but far from being good. Nothing compared with the classic music that used to accompany every episode. To continue with the complains, another issue is that sometimes the episodes are repeated and they don't mention on the DVD case the episodes that features.
Anyway, I think that they should release a set of every season including an enhanced image and sound which is really, really bad...oh, I also wish they release that episode when they went to Acapulco.
With my review I'm only wanting to warn about the changes and the cut episodes but I must also say that if you're a Chavo fan, you're going to have fun eventually.

This volume gives you two of the best sketches that were aired in Mexico in 1982, 'Tienda de regalos' and 'La cuenta'. In addition to these sketches, you will also enjoy 'El baseball', 'El platillo volador', 'El chicle en el sombrero' and more! All on one DVD!

Amor Real (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I, like so many of you, adored Amor Real when it was on TV, and a part of me would love to own the whole thing. However, the part of me that lives in the real world doesn't have the time or money to own a 120-hour soap on dvd. I have a friend who does dvd authoring for a living, and she said that the entire series would take up maybe 15-20 discs. If the 2-disc version costs $20 or $25, how much would a 20-disc version cost? Probably a lot more than anybody would want to spend, even if they could afford it. And it would take months to watch.
Besides, this version has English subtitles, so my friends, the majority of whom don't speak Spanish, can get in on the fun. Fabulous outfits aside, it's just no good if they can't follow the plot!
I personally would be thrilled to have a compact, affordable version of my favorite soap. Anything beyond this would be overkill.

Rosalinda (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here comes a bit a plot-spoiler, so please be advised:
The story is that 20 years before, Rosalinda's mother, Soledad, is imprisoned for a crime she did not commit, the murder of José Fernando Altamirano. In jail, she gives her daughter over to her sister and asks that she never tells anyone. So Rosalinda grows up not knowing that her mother is in reality her aunt. Rosalinda has two sisters (cousins), Fedra and Lucy, and a brother (Cousin) Beto.
Rosalinda works in a flower shop. One day she is delivering flowers to a restaurant where she meets Fernando José ---- the son of the guy her mother is in prison for murdering!
Rosalinda's mother (aunt) dies and her real mother comes out of prison. She poses as aunt Marta. That is when the problems begin.
The villain of the story is Valeria, Fernando José's stepmother, who will tell him that Marta is actually Soledad. So Fernando José leaves Rosalinda and Valeria steals Rosalinda's baby, and Rosalinda goes crazy.... She is sent to a hospital, that later burns down. Everyone believes her dead, but instead she is now living as Paloma Dorantes, who becomes a singer.
Well, as you see the plot is all you can expect of a telenovela.
The acting by Fernando Carrillo (Fernando José) is terrible, but Thalia isn't that bad in this one. Nora Salinas is convincing as Fedra, Rosalinda's cousin and a villain of the story.
I also noticed there is no singing at all, even though Rosalinda becomes a singer. And the song "Ay Amor!" (Rosalinda)
is missing all together. The additional material is nothing almost, just a short video in which Thalia lip-synchs the song and a "Best Kisses" special (which I didn't watch).
All together, I give it three stars. If you like telenovelas in DVD, Rosalinda is an okay one.
It is 550 minutes long and it has an English subtitle option.
Rosalinda comes in two DVDs, both two-sided and is divided into 16 chapters.

Thalia ("Marimar", "Maria Mercedes", "Maria la del Barrio") stars as Rosalinda, a decent, beautiful young woman who works in a flower shop to pay for her education while aspiring to become a great singer. One day, while delivering flowers to a restaurant, she meets Fernando Jose Altamirano, a pianist and composer. Rosalinda instantly falls in love with Fernando Jose and tells him of her dream of becoming a singer. Though they are soon wed, circumstances force them apart. Maybe it’s because Rosalinda discovers that her birth mother, long believed to be dead is actually serving a prison sentence-for the murder of Francisco Jose’s father! The film also stars Fernando Carrillo ("Maria Isabel", "Primavera"), Angelica Maria ("La Antorcha Encendida"), Manuel Saval ("¡Vivan los ninos!") and Lupita Ferrer ("Soledad").
