Buena Vista Social Club

I was not a fan of this movie. Not that I'm saying it wasn't a good movie, but if it were up to me, I would never watch this movie again. Even then, I fell asleep part of the way through the movie, and I am not very interested in watching what I had missed. Documentaries aren't my choice for movies, and when I do watch a documentary, it has to be about something I'm really interested in and heard good reviews for. I have never heard of the Buena Vista Social Club before - at first, I thought it had something to do with Disney because I remember their older cartoons saying "Buena Vista" as part of their opening/closing credits, as well as possibly Knott's because Knott's Berry Farm is located in Buena Vista, CA. To my disappointment, it was about a musical group I had never heard of, let alone the fact that they're from Cuba. Not that I have anything against Cuba, but I have also never had an interest in Cuba, mainly because it's not near California and I have not heard of anything good coming out of Cuba. It was interesting (not in a good way) seeing the poverty-stricken streets of Havana though, as well as the stray dogs everywhere, some having no shame and just pooping in the middle of the street. Their music had a nice, relaxing feel to it, which is part of the reason why I fell asleep during the movie, but it's not like I would go out and buy their music. I do not speak Spanish, so their music does not relate to me, especially when it's talking about getting aroused at the beach. I like going to the beach with my significant other just as much as the next person, but I don't think I'd ever get turned on after watching my boyfriend's booty shake [haha!] in the sand because, unfortunately, sand is one of the main reasons I don't go to the beach because I don't like the feel of it and how it gets stuck everywhere you didn't think was possible. Anyways, enough ranting. Overall, I would say that this movie was mediocre.
