Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

John Seal A cheeky and occasionally rude romantic comedy from the Dominican Republic, La Maldicion del Padre Cardona is a well-made effort from first time director Felix Germain. Though hardly groundbreaking stuff, the film is well written by Germain, and features a game cast headlined by Anthony Alvarez as the title character and Zoe Saldana (seen most recently in a little indie pic entitled Avatar) as the woman he falls for. In addition to an amusing exorcism sub-plot--a curse has apparently been placed on the town, and it's up to Padre Cardona to root out the evil--there's enough here to pique the interest of rom-com fans and admirers of the female form alike.

neto56 this has GOT to be THE worst Dominican movie EVER MADE! .... it's even embarrassing to say that i'm Dominican and that THAT movie is Dominican too, i really think this movie had a bad star with one of THE worst posters i've seen in my life, it looked like it was done in Paint, by a 5 year-old!, then the trailer came and just confused me, us, even MORE, trying to make it see like it was a comedy, or a romantic movie, hell, even a drama and some horror they threw in!!!, but no, that wasn't enough, they HAD to release it and make a BIG fuzz about it, calling it ''great, spectacular, like nothing you've seen, the best Dominican movie ever!'' and that's just a couple of things that the actors themselves said!, the movie, it's just plain wrong, the acting could NOT be any more wrong, the editing does NOT even help the movie WHATSOEVER, i mean, seriously, i don't even know what the movie is about, AND I SAW IT!!!!, the lighting was poor and the whole love thing between Zoe and the priest was just so unbelievable (and i mean that in a BAD way), so, please, oh please, avoid this movie at ALL cost!!!!

mhodesto hello I'm from the Dominican republic and I saw that movie called : la malicing del padre car dona and my opinion is that movie is very bad movie ..the script is horrible the acting roles are bad very badthat is the worst movie done in the Dominican republic that happen cause the director of this movie use people who use to work in the TV not people who really acting in movie or something like that..the movie is very boring..is an empty comedy without any history to tell this movie has a lot of technician errors...this comedy cant make you laugh..may be cry for lost your money going to see this mess..please stop doing movie like this this is a shame for our country

merengue_puro I just saw this movie while in the Dominican Republic (last week)and I was very pleased. Dominican movies are gaining quality! I hope they bring it to the US soon. I will definitely see it again. The movie is very funny, and Zoe is absolutely great, not to mention beautiful in the movie. I am so used to see Zoe in English movies and to hear her speak perfect (Dominican) Spanish was a great surprise. The movie also shows a lot of the very own culture of the Dominican countryside. The actors portray their characters very well, and the whole setting is perfect. It really brings out the essence of a Dominican small town and the beliefs of the people. They did a great job! Anyone who wants to laugh should go see this movie.
