Chasing Papi

Chasing Papi (2003) is a Latin romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Linda Mendoza built the film around a simple, satisfying premise: one charming man, three cities, three women who have no idea about each other.

Thomas Fuentes runs his love life like a regional sales operation — Patricia in New York, Lorena in Chicago, Cici in Miami, each one convinced she has found her ideal match. When all three independently show up in Los Angeles at the same address on the same day, the whole arrangement collapses at once. The three women, initially ready to tear each other apart, eventually redirect their attention toward the man who caused the mess.

Sofia Vergara, Roselyn Sanchez and Jaci Velasquez lead the cast, with Eduardo Verástegui as the hapless Thomas. The film is light, fast and unabashedly made for an audience that was underserved by mainstream Hollywood romantic comedies at the time — it doesn't pretend to be anything else, and that straightforwardness is exactly what makes it work.
