As a latin growing up in NY during the 70's. I was fortune enough to see Hector Lavoe, Willie Colon, Ruben Blades, Oscar Deleon & etc, heavy weights of latin music. It was no big surprise that drug was involved, it was the Disco area. It was excepted in those days, the days of free love, sex and dancing (Disco). Yes Hector was one of those casualties of his own fame. He wasn't the only one but one of the story that told not only about his upbeat music but his drug addictions and tragic ending. I agree that the script could have been alot better, but it did show why he was the way he was. I waited for Hector to show up, atleast the clubs did try to compensate by playing new upcomers or records in place until he showed, we didn't care we just loved him and his wonderful music. This movie shouldn't be as "oh, another PR story that ended tragically", but more of a reminder of to all artist that life is short and if you do make it don't throw it away. As for J-lo she was sometimes annoying but so was Puchi. "Que Lio, Mi Gente...
