Give
us your tired and poor but keep Cheech Marain.
Cheech Marin writes, directs and stars in "Born In East L.A.", a hip, outrageous
comedy that’s based on his best-selling record parody.
The story follows Rudy
(Marin), an American of Hispanic descent, whose south-of-the-border looks, show
him no mercy during an immigration raid in a migrant worker factory. As his luck
goes, he is caught with neither money nor his ID and is deported to Mexico
without speaking a word of Spanish!
Unable to contact his vacationing family or
his newly immigrated cousin (played by comedian Paul Rodriguez), Rudy is in for
a crazy ride as he tries every legal - and illegal - scheme he can think of to
get back home to the States.
He finds himself in jail, in love, and practically
in-sane! Trouble follows him everywhere as he runs from la migra in this case of
mistaken or rather misplaced identity.
