I Like It Like That

For Lisette, every day has become Independence Day.

Director Darnell Martin's acclaimed debut film stars Lauren Velez, Jon Seda, Rita Moreno and Griffin Dunne as members of a battling Bronx family filled with love, passion and real-life choices. When her well-meaning husband is arrested, a young mother, Lisette, finds herself unprepared to support the family. Fast-talking her way into a job with a record producer (Dunne), Lisette quickly discovers her own hidden talents. But the boys in the neighborhood report back to Chino that Lisette is "dating" her bigwig boss, leading to a major confrontation that changes their life together.

A complex comedy filled with laughter and tears, I Like It Like That is a "splashy, big-hearted, multicultural crowd pleaser [that] has something for everybody." - John Powers, Vogue Magazine
