CHASING PAPI, from first-time director Linda Mendoza, is a light-hearted romp with Latin flair. Tomas (Eduardo Verastegui) is every woman's dream--successful, smart, attractive, sensitive, and sexy. In short, he's a catch, and a hunk. Unfortunately, his one major flaw is that he is in love with three very different women, none of who knows about each other. Sexy, sassy CiCi (Sofia Vergara) is a cocktail waitress in Miami, bookish attorney Lorena (Roselyn Sanchez) lives in Chicago, and classy New Yorker Patricia is a diplomat's daughter and a momma's girl. In deference to their respective horoscopes, all three women plan surprise visits to their beau. Of course, they all descend upon his Los Angeles home at the same time, much to Tomas' shock. To make matters worse, CiCi is unknowingly in possession of a bag of counterfeit cash, leading to more confusion and hijinx that includes gangsters and the FBI. Ultimately, the film is as much about women asserting their independence and discovering their strengths as it is about male/female relationships. This first contemporary big studio comedy to target the growing Hispanic-American audience, CHASING PAPI's cast is a veritable "who's who" of Hispanic pop culture.
