Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Salma Hayek's first major studio romantic lead after Desperado, and she fought to keep Isabel's Mexican heritage authentic rather than watered down.
The film quietly predicted the rise of 'bicultural' American family stories years before it became mainstream, though it definitely leans on some 90s stereotypes.
