Summary:
The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside the 181st Street subway stop. The likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes for, imagines, and sings about a better life. "It's a piece of mainstream American entertainment in the best sense - an assertion of impatience and faith, a celebration of communal ties and individual gumption, a testimony to the power of art to turn struggles into the stuff of dreams."--New York Times. "How much pleasure can you take? How much joy can you stand without flinching? One way to find out is by watching In the Heights."--The Wall Street Journal. "To quote 'In the Heights' itself, the streets are made of music in the first genuinely cheerful, splashy, exuberantly life-affirming movie of the summer."--Washington Post. "Like a shot of summer holiday straight to the arm, this will have you shimmying out of the cinema and hugging all your neighbours. It's joyful."--Empire Magazine.
