Chasing Papi (2003)

  This is one of those rare screwball comedies that I don't hate.  It was recommended to me a long time ago by a friend of mine that I have since lost touch with, so I have some fond nostalgia coloring my perception of it.

Tomas Fuentes (Eduardo Verastegui) is a busy man.  Not only is he a marketing executive under pressure for a new perfume campaign, he's dating three increasingly suspicious women in three different cities across the country.  So when pampered Fifth Avenue princess Patricia (Jaci Velasquez), buttoned-down Chicago anti-discrimination attorney Lorena (Rosalyn Sanchez), and fiery Miami cocktail waitress CiCi (Sofia Vergara) all show up at his L.A. house, he panics and overdosed on prescription tranquilizers and booze.  The three ladies decide to stick around until the cheating Chico wakes up whereupon they will force him to choose between the three of them.  Along the way, however, important life lessons are learned like:  don't judge a person by the length of her skirt or the size of her chichis, how to lie for fun and profit (or at least how to impersonate a beauty queen for a free hotel suite), and the proper method of dealing with a gangster trying to open your Louis Vuitton (lamp to the back). 

Overall, it's a fun inoffensive little movie filled with hot Latin women in very little clothing.
