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.
