Conclusion
Well, I watched this some time ago too. This film caught my attention because of its great ensemble of cast ... but did it deliver?! ... not as much as I would want it to ... 

forgive me, but the director just did not do enough ... she concentrated too much on Anne Hathaway and Freddy Rodrguez, and missed out on the rest ... 

but more imptly, the characterization and plot was rather stereotypical ... and being a social commentary kind of film, i thought the ending was not punchy enough; instead, it settled for a rather "noble" kind of ending ... do you call that a predictable "happy" Hollywood ending?! ...

hmmm ... i will write more if time permits ...
